Travel Germany by Rental Car or Train

We are the Complete Germany Travel Guide Source

Germany travel is much more than sauerkraut, cuckoo clocks, oompah bands, and beer. That’s not saying there’s something wrong with any of those things: after all, every garage sale ought to have a cuckoo clock, and we love German beer; who wouldn’t? But, like hot dogs and apple pie, these are merely clichéd symbols that fail to represent the diversity and culture of a great country. As a traveler, you’re looking for the real Germany, not icons created by poster makers and ad men. Whether you travel frequently in Germany, or are planning a first visit, as your Germany travel guide headquarters, we can help you find the real Germany.

Make your Germany Travel Experience Unique

For us, Germany travel is:

  • Driving a rental car over a back road that twists and turns, and rises and falls, through intensely green, rolling farmland, broken only by dark forests and charming German villages.
  • A hot meal at 185mph in the restaurant car of a German ICE train streaking from Munich to Hamburg.
  • Finding a nice room for 60 Euros in small, family-run hotel after a day’s country driving. Much later, following a home-cooked dinner and a glass or two of local wine, served in the hotel’s garden terrace, the quiet of the deep German night is broken only by the sound of crickets.

By booking Germany Hotels and a Germany Car Rental, we can help you define the “Real” Germany

The real Germany is also Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms; impossibly steep, terraced vineyards along the Mosel river as viewed from the observation deck of a riverboat; or being buffeted by fierce Atlantic winds while hiking the beach on Sylt, that sliver of an island in Germany’s far north. Let us help you create your own definition of the “real” Germany with our plethora of travel information and booking resources for Germany hotels in addition to reserving a Germany car rental.
