For many of us the river Rhine, Berlin – once the site of the infamous Berlin wall – Lederhosen wearing accordion players, beer and medieval castles frame our perceptions of the country. But Germany is far removed from this stereotype. Today it is multi-ethnic and multi-cultural. The lowland regions are criss-crossed with rivers, museums and galleries stuffed with art treasures and vast unspoiled outdoor green places. Germany is in the centre of Europe between the North Baltic Seas and the Alps and is made up of sixteen states. Holidays in Germany offer a huge range of interesting activities. Northern Germany’s gem-like small historic towns and Bavaria’s stunning mountain resorts are two of the country’s attractions not visited by many tourists.
