Germany

Pros: interesting , beautiful places to see
Cons: Rothenburg can get very crowded during high season

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Well, actually, it wasn't really another galaxy, but to me it could have been, since I had never been anywhere except New York and Miami up to that point in my life, so another country on...

Pros: enough sights to spend a week there
Cons: -

I write this review about the city where I was born and grew up for potential visitors. It's about Enger and surrounding cities.

Pros: The Attractions, The Food, The Beer, The People, and the Landscapes
Cons: None at all

There is a fairytale part of Germany that is almost unknown, even to most Germans. The area contains the largest forest in Europe and sits astride the ancient jura plateau along the frontier with the Czech Republic. Oberpfalz (the Upper Palatinate) is...

Pros: beautiful nature, actual quietness
Cons: none - except it could change

1000 purple flowers, sunset, sheep and more like that..
.. only the shepard dogs disturbed me when I was riding my bike there.

Let me tell you about the landscape called the "Lüneburger Heide".


1) What is...

Pros: stunning scenery, castles, wineries, fairy-tale villages
Cons: some things are only open during warm months

Germany's Mosel River valley is one of the most scenic, serene places in Europe to visit. The river meanders between low-slung mountains covered with row upon row of neatly tended grape vines as it wends its way toward the mighty Rhine. Along the way are ...

Pros: Rich with charm and history
Cons: can be crowded during peak season

Pros: Beautiful countryside, few speed limits, young folk speak English
Cons: Businesses are hidden behind trees.

This was our first trip to Germany. We landed in Germany and immediately noticed some of the differences. There was smoking in the airport, at least parts of it. Cigarette machines were here and there in businesses. The foods displayed in the airport ...

Pros: Magnificent scenery, a dream come true for anyone appreciating the outdoors.
Cons: It can be crowded, but not once you venture beyond the outskirts of town!

This epinion has been long in coming, primarily because I'm afraid not to do one of my favorite Bavarian destinations the justice it deserves. To try and adequately describe this town and its surrounding area is like trying to put into words the taste of...

Pros: Unique opera house.
Cons: Wait is 5 to 10 years for a ticket!

The grounds of the Bayreuth Festival House were practically empty on that September afternoon when we stopped by last year, so we just went about our own personal tour of the exteriors, snapping photographs of the pink brick building set majestically, ...

Pros: Many tourist attractions next to the cathedral
Cons: Very bad beer!

If you come to Cologne as a tourist, you'll be happy to know that 90% of the tourist attractions are located in a quite small area around the Gothic Cathedral, the Dom, and the Central Station, the Hauptbahnhof: Historical and Art Museums, ...

Pros: Finest dining and breathtaking architecture, cheap, great personnel
Cons: None

Well, dear Jeff (Jeff Clow, Epinions name "Bonies7" writes excellent restaurant reviews), I never thought that I would ever try this. Its just like reading Faulkner as a writer and you think you will never write a word again. Or worse: trying...

Pros: Authentic "home", Guides give alot of personal history
Cons: accessible only by car

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

This is the final installment of a 3 part series of the "Mad" King Ludwig’s playground castles. Linderhof Palace can be quite tricky to find. I went there after the Neuschwanstein...

Pros: A lesson in history
Cons: No English tours at the time of this review

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

Like it or not, but I believe the first thing that comes to mind when people hear the word “Nuremberg” is the Nuremberg war-crimes trials. Yet, up until recently (late Spring of 2000) the...

Pros: Authentic, close by the major tourist attraction castle
Cons: Seems overlooked by tourists (can be seen as a good thing) due to Neuschwanstein castle.

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

Our nest stop along the playground of Ludwig – the so-called Mad King of Bavaria, is the home of his childhood, Hohenschwangau. Butter yellow and more modest than the castle across the...

Pros: Beauty beyond belief!
Cons: The every changing Deutch Mark value!

I have never in my life seen such a beautiful place. With rolling green hillsides and multi colored shades of green on the vast acres of tree. The brilliant colors in das blumen (the flowers) and the ever exciting people of the villages scattered...
