Germany Study Abroad
Study Abroad in GermanyStudying Abroad in Germany is available in a variety of different forms.Germany OverviewGermany is a historical yet modern country, split into sharply defined regions. Each region maintains its distinctive character with its own dialect, traditional dress and foods. Germany’s many modern cities stem from the time when it consisted of countless small states. North Germany has the delightful old seafaring ports, east is the beautiful cultural centers and south is the alluring Black Forest and those boisterous Bavarian beer halls. Along the Rhine and Moselle Rivers are picturesque castles and steep, terraced vineyards. From Frankfurt to Bremen runs a trail of villages that helped inspire the Grimm Brother’s fairy tales. Food, beer, and wine – Experience traditional hearty dishes such as a plate full of sausages and dumplings. Beer is the national beverage and is a cultural phenomenon that must be adequately explored. Both the beer and wine are excellent and rather cheap. Each region and brewery produces beer with a distinct taste and body. Enjoy! Heidelberg – One hour south of Frankfurt, visitors are irresistibly drawn by its magnificent Gothic-Renaissance castle. This pretty town is also known for The Great Vat, a wine vat that holds over 220,000 litres! Lübeck – A glorious Medieval town off the main tourist trails. It is a quiet alternative to the more spectacular attractions further south. The old town was heavily bombed in WWII, but has been sensitively rebuilt and the town's stately charm is apparent today. |
