Our Experiences: Germany deserves many visits for one to get to know it. It is a big land with rich old and recent historic relevance places and a high-end gastronomy. Driving a fast luxury German car through the autobahns may be itself also an attraction. We love it. We have been several times to Baden Baden and Munich. Tiny lake town of Tegernsee is one of our favourites as it carries the world´s best restaurant ever. ( Check restaurants for more ). Shopping is also a special pleasure here. From homeware and food, to technology. The city of Aachen (Ex- Roman city Aquisgrana , Ex-French Aix-la Chapelle ) holds an enormous historic significance with its 800 AD church, where Charlemagne, was crowned “King of Europe“.
Hotels we love and recommend: The Brenners Park ( Baden Baden); Überfahrt Seehotel (Tegernsee / Munich) ; Quellenhof (Aachen ) ; Marriott ( Heidelberg and Berlin )
