Germany is a country that has been at the heart of Europe for centuries, and from the unique culture shaped from historical influences, amazing cuisine and architecture, there is so much to enjoy during a trip to this country.
The food may not be as world famous as the French cuisine, but it has its fair share of delicacies, and an excellent range of beers, wines and spirits that are produced in the country.
Germany is also a very practical country to visit, as the transport system is modern and many of the people speak English, which help to make this a fairly easy country to explore.

Lying in the south west of the country, the Black Forest has long been an important resource for Germany, both in terms of forestry and the mines in the area.

10. English is a Common Language
A population that has a good level of English speakers can be very useful if your skills in the local language are limited, and many Germans take a great pride in being able to speak English well.
I’ve found that they often will respond in English if they realize that your German is not particularly strong!
