Germany is the largest and most influential country in Central Europe, known for its rich cultural legacy, diverse landscapes, and innovation. Its capital, Berlin, tells a powerful story of history — from the Brandenburg Gate to modern landmarks like the Reichstag Building and the Berlin Philharmonie. In southern Germany, Munich offers Bavarian charm, grand architecture, and the famous Oktoberfest festival. Nearby, the romantic Neuschwanstein Castle inspired Disney’s iconic design. The cities like Dresden and Bamberg reveal artistic and architectural treasures rebuilt after wartime destruction. Germany’s contributions to music (Bach, Beethoven), philosophy (Kant, Nietzsche), and science have profoundly shaped global culture.
