I was doing some work downstairs last night when the Globe Trekker went to German. I have read about German – The Oktoberfest, Brandenburg Gates, the castles, the museums and the history but seeing the real things on TV was much better.
Finding hotels in Germany shouldn’t be a problem as long as you are not fussy and have enough budget..heh! From the website the cheapest I can find is EUR13 for A&O Hostel Mitte Berlin, of course there are many more choices of hotels in Berlin you can check later.
But like any other travelers, staying the whole day in the hotel wouldn’t fit the purpose of your journey. So while in Berlin, check out places of interest such as Schloss Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg Palace), the one-time summer residence of the Prussian kings or Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s only remaining city gate.
Then after you are done with Berlin, head to Munich, the capital of the state of Bavaria which lies near the foot of the German Alps. It’s the high-tech capital of Germany where company like BMW has their headquarter office. Munich is also where the famous Oktoberfest is held year after year. The Oktoberfest began with the marriage of the Crown Prince of Bavaria in 1810 and has been held every year since then.
While you are enjoying your party time, make sure you have done reservation for any hotels in Munich. It is said that about 6 million people attend the event every year.
But for me, a not much party goer, perhaps a visit to the Deutsches Museum or Neuschwanstein Castle will complete my journey to Munich.
