Germany
One of the more interesting and historically dense regions of the world, Germany has fairy-tale sights and picturesque scenery reminiscent of medieval times. But Germany is also postindustrial and multicultural; Reunification in Germany was a huge social and economic undertaking on top of an already heavy history. Broadly speaking though, it has been a remarkable success and travelers should explore all parts of the country. From the Black Forest to Bavaria, there is more to Germany than the Berlin Wall and Oktoberfest! Ready to see for yourself?
