Germany Airfares

By Roz Andrews: The largest country in Western Europe, Germany extends from the North Sea ports of Hamburg and Bremen to the mountain-fringed Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse). In between, you will find the industrial area of the Ruhr, the cultural centers of Dresden, Weimar and Leipzig, and the spa resorts of the Black Forest.

Take a cruise or excursion from Koblenz or Rüdesheim and follow in the footsteps of writers, artists and composers, who have been inspired by the magnificent scenery of the Rhine Valley for centuries.

In the perfectly preserved medieval walled town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria, step back in time as you explore the cobbled, traffic-free streets lined with historic buildings.

Beer drinking is an important part of the German culture and, wherever you are in Germany, you can sample the local beer. Although there are over 1,000 German breweries, all beers still conform to the Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) of 1516, which states that beer can only contain water, hops, yeast and malt.

If you prefer to drink wine, there are several home-grown varieties, including the dry white wines produced in the Moselle Valley.

At the Christmas Markets, held throughout Germany from late November until Christmas, you can browse a wide range of often unusual gifts, decorations and food, whilst sipping warm mulled wine (Glühwein) and enjoying the distinctively German festive atmosphere. Go!

Football Match
If you visit Germany and are a sports fan you must attend a Bundesliga soccer match. I saw Kaiserslatern vs. Borussia Dortmund in Dortmund and was blown away. Bundesliga is probably the best soccer league in Europe, it's even consistently ranked ahead of the English Premiere League. A must see for yourself.

A Country of Character
It always amazes me that as soon as I cross the border from one country to another, I can tell the difference right away. And, indeed, one morning as I rode the train from Switzerland into Germany, I felt that subtle shift, as the German character became stronger, the deeper I traveled into the heart of Germany. Maybe it’s the architecture, the immense and intricate castles that line the winding rivers, or the language, but more than that it’s the culture, the customs, maybe the earth itself. However, one thing that is unique about Germany is a feeling of the people, who, I have seen, are some of the hardest workers anywhere! While rushing to keep up with the times, they are steeped in their cultural traditions–and this creates a refreshing blend of the old and the new in today’s busy world.
