Germany may be "the land of poets and thinkers" (Das Land der Dichter und Denker), but the country's cities and landmarks offer a much more tangible way to connect with its people, its past -- and its future; which is why Marriott International, Inc., one of the world's leading lodging companies, has created a mini-guide to help guests make the most of their vacations in Germany.
Whether vacationers are looking for Germany hotels in a major metropolitan area -- or a more secluded spot -- Marriott offers ideas designed to inspire, such as:
-- Try a German Wurst. Every region has its own specialty sausages. And whether guests are visiting Bavaria -- where white sausages and sweet mustard are the order of the day or touring Berlin -- where visitors can enjoy thinly sliced sausages covered in ketchup and dusted with curry powder, sausages are part of the fabric of Germany's culture. To find the local specialty, visitors need only to ask their hotel's concierge.
-- Explore a Castle. From Cologne to Heidelberg, Dresden and Leipzig to Frankfurt, breathtaking castles dot the German landscape -- and thanks to preservation efforts by local and national governments, many of them are open to the public.
-- See Local Art. Although Leipzig is known for its local art scene, every city has something special to offer. From little-known spaces to big museums, outdoor exhibits to high-end galleries, Marriott's Germany hotel staff can point guests to the city's arts district where they can spend an afternoon browsing the local wares.
-- Step Back in Time. From Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie Museum to World War II memorials and the Museum fur Hamburgische Geschichte ("Museum for Hamburg History") visitors will soon discover that history is alive and well in Germany.
-- Discover a New Beer. Just like wurst, beer in Germany is part of the fabric of the culture -- and changes by region. Some of the varieties include: Helles -- a pale lager from Bavaria, Export -- a pale lager from Dortmund, and Marzen -- a medium-bodied lager traditionally served at Munich's Oktoberfest.
