Driving a Car Hire in Germany

Germany is home to 39 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Germany is the largest central European country, comprised of 16 states, each of which offers a distinct culture and an unending supply of scenery and sights for visitors. Head to Munich and the surrounding region of Bavaria for the best of the country's famous beer culture, or venture to the Rhine Valley for incredible wines and even better views in Western Germany.

Germany's historic legacy can be found in the medieval and gothic castles including the Löwenburg Castle and the castle of the Hohenzollern dynasty, which ruled until the end of World War I. Berlin is scattered with reminders of a stormy twentieth-century, home to a number of memorials and ruins which sit in contrast to the famous nightlife and vibrant LGBT community of this historic capital.
