Germany is one of the safest countries to travel, attracting millions of tourists each year. The country has a long history and cultural education tourism is one of the main directions. The palaces, forts and castles — many of them built in the middle ages. Many of the most diverse sites are the historical heritage of unesco。
The tribute to the memory of the past is reflected in “military” tourism. This direction is hardly known as entertainment, yet it is part of the history of the country. The biggest beer festival — munich beer festival — will be celebrated by travelers. For family vacations, walking and visiting natural attractions in the park area, and visiting the zoo in the capital and the european park in rust are all the right options。
