Rick Steves’ Germany 2009 offers up the best of Deutschland, from the otherworldly castles of Bavaria to the rowdy beer halls of Munich.

With Rick’s expert advice travelers can save time, money, and avoid the crowds. Float through Munich’s countryside on a party raft, sample wine in the Rhine Valley, or take a wild ride on a luge—it’s all possible with Rick Steves’ as your guide.

Great book on Germany5
Having been to Germany before (World Cup 2006) I wanted to see other sites I missed while traveling through Germany. This book gives you a good idea of what you can do that gives you the most bang for your buck. The cities/areas are broken down in expert fashion allowing you to decide what you like and what you don't.

I tend to trust his judgment and haven't been let down yet. Some things I think I wouldn't enjoy turn out to be excellent. It's amazing to be able to get the insight on a hotel you're considering as well. For example "$$ Hotel-Pension Funk, the former home of a 1920s silent-movie star, is delightfully quirky. Kind manager Herr Michael Pfundt offers 14 elegant old rooms with rich Art Nouveau furnishings..." There's not much more that makes someone's day than hearing their name, this opens you to friendly discourse and tips that the average hotel guest may not receive.

I have been to Europe many times. Rick Steve's books (I own 10 or so of them) always amaze me with their succinct descriptions yet not lacking pertinent and needed information. This book is no exception, if you're going to Germany this is a worthy book to own (plus it's not expensive to boot!).

Great travel guide book!5
Rick Steves guide books are overall the best on the market. They provide very practical advice (where to exchange money, how to make calls within Germany, road sign conventions if you plan to drive, etc.) for both the novice and advanced traveller. His advice can save you money, and he offers suggestions for finding the best value hotels, activities, etc. in addition to helping you plan itineraries. I highly recommend this book.

Great book!5
This is a great beginners book to visiting Germany. The information is well-organized and helpful.
