| | Germany - one of the Best Places on Earth |
 | | Former East German landscapes and cultural sites have added significantly to the list of what-to-see-and-do in Germany and should be added to any tourist's itinerary. |
 | | The lake-dotted countryside and beautiful coastline of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, north from Berlin or east from Hamburg, is worth the drive or the train trip. |
 | | A short list of great names in German culture is enough to remind you of several other reasons to visit: Bach, Beethoven, Boll, Brecht, Durer, Goethe, Grass, Hegel, Hesse, Kant, Mann, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Wagner. |
