No other nation has come to terms with its past in such a short period of time and managed to emerge as a responsible advanced constitutional democracy as the Federal Republic of Germany. Today’s Germany is casting aside its military shyness and its essentially post-Second World War image of a Civilian Power to slowly assert its rightful place on the global stage. Germany is now a normal nation and is along with France the main motor behind the highly successful European Union. One of the world’s most industrialized countries and one of the world’s richest economies Germany is also a country rich in history and culture and is also home to some of the most popular travel destinations in Europe. From Berlin a city steeped in history to the fast-paced international business hub of Frankfurt and from the serene beauty of the Black Forest to the Fairy Tale villages that dot the Alps, Germany is a traveler’s delight.
