Germany is one of the most visited places by Americans every year. It has many beautiful sights to see and places to visit and is a very popular tourist destination.

One of the biggest assets and attractions of Germany include its numerous castles. These historic monuments are well preserved and should not be given a miss. Nearly every town in Germany is host to at least one castle so it does not really matter where you are in Germany you can always ask for the nearest castle to visit. What is really great is that a lot of these castles have restaurants built inside them to attract people. Not only do you get to visit a historic location but you can also enjoy a brief tour of the place where the main points are highlighted for your information in the time that your meal is being prepared. You won’t find many castles offering food except in Germany.

No visit to Germany is complete without experiencing the world famous German beer. Even non-Germans are often wont to say that there is no beer like German beer. Maybe the reason for this is that the German breweries will not give out their ages old secret recipe while insisting that it is all a result of the special quality of water in Germany. Whatever the reason might be, if you wish to enjoy some good beer then you have come to the right place. In fact, German beer is fantastically free of all preservatives because it is a government-mandated law that no preservatives can be added to beer.

So you have seen a few castles, had a bit of bite, and you have also managed to sample German beer. Now it is time for a true German feast. Schnitzel, Wursts, and Spatzle sound familiar? Well, they will once you are in Germany as they are some of the traditional dishes available in German cuisine. The best way to experience German food is to talk into restaurant and asking for the "house special".

Oktoberfest is the biggest and wildest beer party in the whole world and it attracts millions of people from all over the world to Germany every year. In fact, in recent times it has become so that the number of tourists and other foreign visitors outnumber the German attendees of Oktoberfest. Be warned though that it is not as easy to get beer on this occasion as the name or reputation might suggest. Due to the excessive crowd the beer tents are packed solid from morning to night and it can prove to be difficult to get the desired beverage. A lot of people just come back with a souvenir beer mug.
