Cool Stuff to do in GERMANY??

[Total Refected Power]

Going to Germany on business and since it is my first visit will couple some vacation time to it as well. Give me some suggestions on things to do! I am a history buff so castles and Roman ruins are great!

Shave the sides of your head. Sing idiotically repetive porcine folk songs while swilling vast quantities of beer. March forth lemming-like on pointless military maneuvers. Eat pig intestines stuffed with cabbage. That should do it.


JUST KIDDING!!!! Enjoy yourself.

 

[AudiPorsche]

one word: AUTOBAHN

 

[GTaudiophile]

Yeah, if you're old enough to rent a Porsche (30 I think), then rent one for a day (maybe a $100 if that) and let it out on the Autobahn.

Where will you be going in Germany exactly? I go there at least twice a year if I can. Ich spreche Deutsch!

 

[Regine]

Toolgirl/ GT:

The meeting is in Bonn but would like to see as much as I could. I will be there late June/July.

ONE OTHER WORD: LOVE PARADE 2001

Try renting a car and driving the along the Rhine river. NOT too far from Bonn i think but you will need at least 1 full day. The Rhine has castles on both sides spaced about 5 miles apart on average. My wife and I loved visiting there...We spend the night in a little town called Bacharat on the west side of the river... cobblestone roads, very old and traditional german buildings, ruined catherdral, castle up above. I think you can even stay in the castle if you got the dough.

have fun!

If you want ruins and stuff like that there's an awesome museum in Cologne (Köln). Also check out Trier if you have a chance - awesome ruins and an amphitheater (largest one outside of Italy I believe). Too bad you aren't in Bavaria because then you should definitely visit Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.

You should also check out some of the cathedrals - again in Cologne the cathedral is amazing. Between museums, castles, ruins and churches you should have enough cultural experiences to last you a lifetime

If the weather is good, go south along the Rhein to where it intersects the Mosel. Koblenz is a great area!

I have to second the Stohlwerk Chocolate Factory in Koeln. Best Ameretto, chocolate-covered truffels in the world! I really prefer Germany in the Summer or Winter, but if the weather is warm and people are spending time outside, head up to the Altstadt in Duesseldorf. Great Altbier and bar scene!

Toolgirl/GT:

That stuff sounds great. I was thinking about Bavaria too. I really love Europe. I have been to Italy and the UK and always come back to the US wanting more!

 

[jadinolf]

And don't forget: beer and bratwurst.

Lucky dog!

 

[GreenBeret]

Weinershnitzel (sp) yummmm!

 

[Regine]

It's Wienerschnitzel.

BTW - if you want real German food, not the stereotypical Schnitzel or Bratwurst get good Sauerbraten or Schweinebraten (pork roast).

 

[Napalm381]

Be careful, TRP. She is from Bavaria and is more than a little biased .


<< Neuschwanstein >>

Anyways, do you really want to visit a place that sounds like an intestinal disorder?

Should I really be dating someone who's nickname is a toxic chemical?

Drink tons of Bavarian Beer

What, would you prefer my nickname be Pink Fluffy Bunnies or something?

 

[Regine]

Just saying - don't diss my German food or favorite places.

 

[Total Refected Power]

(pork roast).

Ahhh. One of my favorites.

In addition, are there many good Italian restaurants in Bavaria? I thought I heard that somewhere.

This is going to be a blast!

Napalm:

Bias is good.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Hey, I agree with Toolgirl, and I am not from Germany. I have spent at least 4 years there total, though. Yes, don't forget the beer! Germans have the best fries on the planet too. Meine Meinung nach, Sauerbraten ist besser als Schnitzel.

 

[Emos]

Could you sneak an Audi S3 or RS4 back home through customs for me? No? Oh well....have fun on your trip (and go driving on the Autobahn)!

 

[joohang]

I'm sooooo jealous, TRP.

Germany is the coolest place on Earth. Always at the top of &quot;must visit&quot; list.




<< Should I really be dating someone who's nickname is a toxic chemical? >>



Napalm381 is a chemical name? Care to share what it is? I'm curious.

 

[Bleep]

Take a afternoon cruise up the Rine river and see all the sites drink a little wine in the little towns and drink beer and eat bratwurst all the way back at night.
