Germany
Germany is a fascinating place to experience. Many landmarks in Berlin epitomize the country’s shared identity such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, and Potsdamer Platz. Toward the French border in North Rhine – Westphalia, sites that preserve the history of western Germany, like the Aachen Cathedral, the Imperial Abbey of Corvey, and the castles of Augustusburg and Falkenlust can be toured. Across the country in Saxony, destinations like the Zwinger and St. Nicolas Church represent the heritage of Germany’s eastern reaches. Bavaria, the southern region of Germany, features its own idyllic attractions, including the Neuschwanstein Castle, the Town of Bamberg, and the Würzburg Residence. Coastal regions like Hamburg have locations chronicling the country’s commercial past, such as the Speicherstadt and the Kontorhausviertel.
