Germany is a large country of wide contrasts. From the beaches of the
North and Baltic Seas to the Bavarian Alpine peaks and from the Black
Forest to the nightspots of Berlin, Germany has much of interest to the
international traveler.
For
centuries, culture has played an important role in German society. Large
cities have opera houses and symphony orchestras, while even small
villages have musical and other cultural societies. Germany is the land
of Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, Schiller, and other artists that influenced
Western culture. Culture is easy to enjoy in Germany with frequent
performances at relatively low prices.
Germany is also a country with amazing architectural treasures. It
has some minor Roman and Carolingian monuments, but it is with the
Romanesque and Gothic that German building craft really came to the
fore. The influence of the Renaissance was limited, but Baroque and
Rococo are well represented. More modern styles, including Art Nouveau,
Bauhaus, Modern, and Post-Modern, can also be found, especially in
German cities.
