Pros: A wide range on offer at very affordable prices
Cons: The smoking
Summary: Eating out is very popular in Germany. When you see the prices it is easy to understand why. Alcohol (wine, beer etc.) is also a lot cheaper than in Britain, so you will find that drinks don't bump the price up too much. The only major downside to most ... read more

Pros: Nice day out to see an unusual ceremony and a quaint town
Cons: Easy to get confused; public transport does not drop you exactly where the attractions are; considerable walking is involved

Pros: Beautiful, vibrant and liberal
Cons: the weather is not very reliable
Summary: Hamburg is unfortunately not as famous as cities like Frankfurt, Munich, or Berlin. But in my opinion as a Bavarian (despite our regional rivalry) the nicest of Germany's large cities. It has the aesthetic charms of Munich and the big city feel of
