Germany - Michael Ivory

Berlitz Pocket Guide Germany is a concise, full-colour travel guide that combines lively text with vivid photography to highlight the very best that this dynamic country has to offer.

The Where To Go chapter details all the key sights, starting with the bustling capital Berlin then taking in the stunning countryside along the Rhine River, a top river-cruising destination, the scenic Black Forest and romantic Heidelberg and finally glamorous Bavaria, with its timber houses and onion-domed churches.

To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the Top 10 Attractions in the country, followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Day in Berlin. The What to Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your spare time, from cruising down the Rhine to skiing in the Bavarian Alps and taking in one of Germany's myriad popular festivals.

You'll also be armed with background information, including a brief history of the country and an Eating Out chapter covering its hearty cuisine. There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z to equip you with all the practical information you will need.
