Places to visit in Germany
I asked in a German forum what places in Germany I should show a foreigner so that she/he would get a good impression of Germany - here are the answers:
- Remains of the Berlin wall and the Brandenburger Tor. That is German history!
- The Hamburg Habor - one of the largest in the world and very interesting to visit. You can go for a boat trip and visit older and newer parts. Besides you can eat great fish, visit the Reeperbahn (red-light district) and at Sundy morning very early you can visit the fish market.
- Burg Frankenstein
