I’ve even heard that in some places, there is a fee for entering the city.

    Jugendherbergen (Youth Hostels) are everywhere in Germany, making travel affordable even in expensive cities especially if you’re under 28 and/or don’t mind sharing a room.

    The same might apply in other countries, I wouldn’t know. Except in France where I know it’s not the case because they are sadly underfunded.

      I rarely hear people around me say that they have traveled to Germany. Maybe it’s because Germany is not as popular as Italy and France in terms of reputation. In my stereotypes, it seems that Germany doesn’t have anything else attractive except its industry.

        Germany has tons of awesome old castles, nice inner cities and some cute villages with old architecture. If you like pork then you will also like German food.

        Some places I can recommend are Heidelberg, Freiburg, Dinkelsbühl. Berlin has loads of history and techno if you’re into that.

        If you like nature, you can do lovely bike tours along rivers, along the Lahn, Rhein, Danube, etc. Alternatively go for a hike in the black forest, the Odenwald, Saxon Switzerland or the Alps

        Don’t just go anywhere though, some cities were bombed to shit in WW2 and then badly rebuilt.

          I hope that Germany can preserve its traditional industrial system just as it preserves those traditional and ancient castles. It should not engage in the so-called new energy vehicles. Tesla is just rubbish.

            On second thought, maybe stay in china.

            jokes aside what made you say that? :D Tesla is indeed rubbish but electric vehicles are still better than those that burn fossil fuels. Most electric cars in Europe are made in Europe or Asia, and are not Tesla’s.

              Where I want to go is my freedom. It’s not up to you to tell me that I should stay in China.I’m not targeting Tesla specifically. I’m saying that all new energy electric vehicles are industrial waste.

        Industry is irrelevant for tourism. No, Germany absolutely has beautiful towns and landscapes, although it’s not like the countries you mentioned where almost every place in a popular region meets that definition. That’s where travel blogs and guides come in handy to find the places worth visiting.

          Of course, I like Germany very much. My car is a German Mercedes-Benz, and my coffee grinder is a German Comandante. Many of my things are from Germany. However, I have never been to Germany.
