Festivals and historic attractions are but a few of the things to do in Germany. There are many Americans who boast of their German ancestry and almost as many towns as people. Oktoberfest celebrations are held nationwide each fall but none can compare with Oktoberfest in Germany. Walking tours and bicycle tours take visitors to many of the tourist attractions in Germany.
Oktoberfest: A month long festival dedicated to beer is just one of the delightful events that could influence the timing of your visit to Germany.
German Wine: Discover the lush wine country of the Upper Rhine Plane. Most noted for their elegant white wines, Germany also produces the Liebfraumilch, a semi-sweet wine designed for the mass maker. Take a tour of one of the vineyards and enjoy the taste of a fine German wine.

Kassel: The Hesse area of Germany is where the town of Kassel is located. Listed as the main city on the German Fairytale Trail, Kassel was home to the Brothers Grim where they wrote their world famous fairy tales. There is a museum that honors not only their literary works but the academic work in Germanic language, law and history.
German Art and History: Kassel is home to the Documenta, one of the largest contemporary art museums in the world. Featuring three totally unique castles to investigate, a Natural History Museum complete with a herbarium, and the only Museum of Sepulchral Culture in Germany, you are sure to find something exciting to do. Learning the cultural history is just one of the things to do in Germany.
Demmin: This town is a nature lover's paradise. Sometimes dubbed the "Amazon of the North" the area surrounding this town has the largest area of uninterrupted marshland. Open air music concerts held in the forest are acclaimed as some of the best in the country. Organ concerts are held regularly at St. Bartholomew's Church. Modern motels and quaint bed and breakfasts provide you with comfort while enjoying the rich natural wonders.
Munich: Few tourists will want to miss the chance to take part in Munich's Oktoberfest. The diversity of the residential communities inside Munich adds greatly to its charm. Artist communities and historic districts mesh with state of the art internet café's and world class hotels. Seeing the ancient architectural building while seated in a state of the art Ferris wheel is an experience no one will ever forget.
Berlin: Stand on the spot where history was made in Berlin. Once separated by the "wall" this city was re-united in 1989. Brought back together, the citizens of both sides committed themselves to forging a better community for all. The Brandenburg Gate has an appeal that everyone can appreciate. This location was a tourist attraction in Germany long before it was dismantled.
Potsdam: This is a town that takes pride in their architectural history. With massive vineyards and some of the best examples of baroque ad rococo architecture, Potsdam transports you back in time. The rulers of Prussia commissioned the best artists to create palaces and statues for parks once only used by the royalty. The Sanssouci Park, alone, contains over 400 sandstone statures.
