Germany is the largest country in Central Europe. Known around the world for its precision engineering and high-tech products, it is equally admired by visitors for its old-world charm and "Gemütlichkeit" (coziness). The UK is well connected to Germany, with many low cost airlines offering flights from most UK destinations. Once in Europe, you will also be able to travel within Europe quite easily. Regular train services connect Germany with all neighbouring countries - most operated by Deutsche Bahn. Expect a moderate climate, and pack for warm summer days as well as cold winters.
