Traveling to Germany for the first time: where to go?

Germany is a big country, actually the seventh largest country in Europe. Each region has its own culture and customs, but let’s start with the capital: Berlin is an exciting metropolis with strong art and music scenes. Reminders of the city's history include the Holocaust memorial and the several sections of the Berlin Wall. Brandenburg Gate has become a symbol of reunification after the cold war, but also a place to celebrate New Year’s eve in one of Europe’s biggest street parties.
