A taste of Germany

Sixteen states, sixteen accents, and a national identity that fragments cheerfully along beer-and-bratwurst lines. Berlin runs on the world's loudest techno clubs and the world's longest currywurst queues; Munich pours Maß steins in beer gardens shaded by chestnut trees; Hamburg's harbor reinvents itself with Elbphilharmonie acoustics and Reeperbahn grit.

The Romantic Road threads castles between Würzburg and Füssen, the Black Forest hides cuckoo workshops and cherry-cake cafés, and the Mosel Valley grows Riesling on impossible slate slopes. The trains run more or less on time. The Christmas markets are worth the cold.
