Things to do, eat, drink, and buy while in Germany

Updated: Jun 18, 2021

I've been lucky enough to visit Germany twice. The first time as part of a land tour with Trafalgar, and the last time on a river cruise along the Rhine River with AmaWaterways. Each visit was unique, and even though there was some overlap in some locations, I still saw new things and had new experiences.
