Cologne possesses
Roman remains and medieval buildings unsurpassed in Germany. The city also
ranks high as a beer centre, with two dozen breweries. The annual Carnival
in early Spring is one of Europe's major popular celebrations and a good time
to visit.
Berlin is a unique view
of 'East meets West'. Unification has created one of Europe's most culturally
diverse and interesting cities. Culture vultures, shopaholics and club goers
are equally well catered for. Consider a trip between May and October.
