Germany is a vast country when you think about it. Ok, it's not a big as the United States or Australia in physical size but it still ranks alongside them for things to do. You see Germany has a rich history. Even though it may not have been known as Germany all the time, many of the towns and cities in the country go back over a 1000 years. So if you are planning a trip to Germany, you will not be scratching your head for things to do.
One thing that is well worth a visit is the Munich beer festival. That's a pretty good shout at it has to one of the most original events you are likely to see on a vacation. Sure, other countries have adopted the idea of having an October beer festival but nothing beats the one and only original in Munich.
You will soon be chatting to some very noisy but generally happy people. Hmm…what could be the reason for that ? Maybe it's the copious amount of beer that is consumed in a very short space of time. With this said it's more about the way it is consumed than anything else.
You have to pay to get into the festival grounds which consists of many large halls and tents. Lets just say that there is not that much to a hall or tent. The first is a express service of large steins of beer, the second is music that you can listen to or use as background music and the third is many large tables with benches. The table and benches where you drink beer make people sit together and help to break the ice with strangers. In my experience, you are only a few drinks away from making some buddies. And due to the world famous appeal of the festival you are bound to meet many people from all over the world including one or two from your own country.
The beer halls or tents are so popular that you have to get in early. If you do not have your spot on a table before mid morning you may find it hard to get a place. After that it's some serious drinking with a bit a scran thrown into the mix. The best food with beer has to be sausages – ordinary or white sausages (cheese) are really good. Ok, it's not a five star meal but it certainly complements the beer. You can also get all time favorites of German cooking like pretzels and sauerkraut.
The are some great sights and must do things in Germany, festivals are particularly popular in Germany and the number one festival is in Munich. It's known as Oktoberfest but it starts late in September and runs through to the beginning of October. If you are lucky enough to be in Munich around that time you owe it to yourself to spend a day drinking some beer. Oh and there's plenty else to do in Munich after you've had your fill.
Speaking German will certainly improve your vacation in Germany. If you are searching for a good learn German course ?
