Germany wears its riches well: elegant big-city charm, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer are all there for the savouring.
Deep in the heart of Europe, Germany has had a seminal impact on Continental history. From Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire to Otto von Bismarck's German Reich, Nazism and the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, no other nation has moulded Europe the way Germany has - for better or worse.
Germany’s climate is mostly in the cool/ temperate zone with a domination wind from the west. Influences of amongst others the gulf stream arrange the climate to be very mild. In the north rain falls practically all trough the year. The winters tend to be very mild and the summers very cool. The east has very strong winters and the summers very hot due to the continental features.
Germany is famous for its beer brewing tradition and annual Oktoberfest beer festival, and its contribution to classical music in the form of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.
