From the businesslike
atmosphere of Frankfurt to the strip joints of Hamburg, feel the charming flamboyancy of
Munich or walk through the historic treasures of Berlin, go back in time through castles
of Heidelberg or go wine tasting in the vineyards of the Rhine Valley. Or simply relax in
a mountainside inn in the Bavarian Alps and breathe in the crisp air and savour the
scenery. The possibilities are as variegated as the nation itself
