Our trips to Germany
Culture
Germans are commended for their hardworking and punctual natures, as well as their amazing work ethic and organisational skills. The reports are true, locals love their beer and they have been confirmed as the second-largest beer consumers in Europe. Literature, music and arts are very popular in society.
Best time to visit
Many enjoy travelling to Germany during March - May (spring), as the weather is perfect for outdoor activities. Flowers are usually blooming around this time and the countryside is a very pretty place to visit. September - November (autumn) calls for thriving foliage and a pleasant climate. Oktoberfest, the world’s most famous beer festival, falls during this period and is a must-do for travellers wanting to get amongst popular festivities. December - February (winter) indicates enchanting Christmas markets and prime snowshoeing and skiing in the Alps.
