Frommer's offers up-to-date coverage of all the country's highlights--music festivals, hiking in the Black Forest, Oktoberfest, cafes, castles, and Berlin's vibrant, cutting-edge cultural scene. Inside you'll find candid, detailed reviews of the very best dining and accommodations for any taste and budget. We offer a wealth of sightseeing, sports, shopping, strolls, and special moments--from highlights for the first-time visitor to off-the-beaten-track discoveries that will impress even the most seasoned traveler. From beer garden to Bauhaus, charming villages and uber-modern cities, the Alps to the Zeppelin-Museum, our authors help you plan your perfect trip to Germany.

[Jessica Lange · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was just ok. The Rick Steves Germany book is soooo much better. This book had some great pull out maps of Berlin and Munich that made it worth it. Tons of restaurant and hotel recs. Almost too many. Good as a supplement to the Rick Steves book but I would not make this my sole Germany travel book purchase.
