Do you want to know why Germany is one of the best places to visit in the fall?
There is one word which will explain it all, Oktoberfest! The Munich Oktoberfest has been copied in several other places but nothing comes quite close to it. This mega event draws over 6 million people from all over the world and is famous for its amazing beer.
The Oktoberfest starts from September 19th and goes on till 4th October. It is the world’s largest folk festival and you’ll have plenty to do while passing the time in the fairgrounds. Put on some lederhosen or dirndls and get into the mood of having tons of pretzels, beer and wurst.
Once you’ve had enough of the Oktoberfest, you can visit some of the many other scenic areas in Germany like the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin or the picturesque Cologne Cathedral beside the Rhine.
The Black Forest is one of the best and most visited upland areas in Europe. It is a hiker’s heaven and has many popular spots such as Germany’s oldest ski area located in Todtnau, world class spa facilities in Baden-Baden and the Bad Leibenze resort.
