📝 Notes

🏛️ History and Cultural Depth

Germany’s history is complex and deeply reflected in its cities, museums, and memorials. From medieval towns to modern architecture, cultural layers are present throughout the country.

Understanding Germany often comes from context rather than iconic landmarks.


🚆 Everyday Mobility

Public transport is extensive and reliable.

  • long-distance trains connect the entire country
  • local transport systems are well integrated
  • travel without a car is easy almost everywhere

This makes Germany especially comfortable for both short visits and longer stays.


🌦️ Climate Reality

Winters are cold, dark, and can feel long, especially in northern regions. Spring and summer bring more pleasant weather, green cities, and outdoor life.

Seasonal planning matters more here than in southern Europe.
