If you’ve been there or live there, I’d love to hear your perspective. I’m going for the first time to visit my daughter, who lives with her German boyfriend near Munich in a town called Grunwald. I’m coming from Michigan. The question’s intentionally broad since I’m curious about everything: must-try experiences, daily life, culture, etc.

    I’m from the UK and have visited much of Europe at one time or another. I’ve been to Munich a couple of times.

    Germany is one of the countries where I would say I experience the least culture shock - people in general seem to have very similar attitudes and social mores to folks back home.

    To make a few generalisations: Public transport is good (but many journeys are walkable). Food is hearty and decently varied in the big cities. People are reserved but pleasant.
