Germany, (German: Deutschland) is a country steeped in amazing modern history, tradition and diversity. The snow-capped mountain ranges, rollicking beer halls and, of course, the Oktoberfest in Bavaria, contrast with the peace, serenity and fairy-tale castles, of the Rhine Valley while the capital, Berlin, showcases one of the most modern, liberal and rapidly developing cities on the continent all amongst the scars of the Second World War and the former division between East and West.

Make sure you try currywurst in Germany. It’s basically a hot dog with tomato sauce (ketchup) and curry powder. Tastes brilliant and only costs 1 or 2 Euro.

For a great view of the city (especially at night) go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris. It also offers a great vantage point for viewing the water show at the Bellagio.
Winter is an excellent time to go to Europe. There are next to no lines for the museums, you can experience the cities like the locals do and everything is cheaper! Plus, Christmas and New Year's Eve in Europe are very special.
If you are doing a time out tour (staying in hotels), a travel iron/hairdryer will come in handy as many european hotels do not provide these facilities.
