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.
It was a bad joke about most of the stalls being run by (lovely and very generous) immigrants and the rest of the markets being tourists!
In reality everyone we met was lovely. The food was to die for. And it snowed. 10/10 trip honestly and looking forward to going back soon!
That went completely over my head :D
Which did you visit so far and have you decided which will be next?
We went to Stuttgart, Baden Baden, and then took a long car trip to Munich. We stopped at some little towns here and there too but I don’t remember all the names. And we crossed into Luxembourg briefly if I recall correctly.
I’d recommend all of them but the Baden natural spa is something to behold and the town itself it impossibly beautiful in places.
Next time will likely be the north end of the country. I’d love to go to Hanover as my mother lived there as a child while her father was on assignment post-war.
That sounds like a nice trip. You skipped my home, when you toured through the South, but Stuttgart is fine (in winter). After going to the North, you may want to look into parts of Eastern Germany like the Erzgebirge though you should stay in the touristy areas there if you have a darker skin color and / or are part of the lgbtqi+ community. This area is as beautiful as it’s backwards.
I’ve added it to the starred map! Thanks!
