Bavaria, with it's blue and white flag which is representative of the blue sky and white clouds, is a region typically known for the annual Octoberfest and very fine beer. But there is so much to discover! The Bavarian Alps with pristine lakes and towering mountains, provide a natural border and backdrop for the region, and are a popular outdoor recreation area for locals and visitors alike.
Frankfurt on the River Main plays host to an array of festivals, fairs, and carnivals each year such as the Festival of Lights. With a beautiful skyline Frantkfurt is a popular city for photographers to capture, especially during fireworks displays over the River Main.
Berlin is the capital city of Germany and is the home of world class universities, top sporting events, and arts academies such as for music and dance. Many historic events have taken place alongside historic buildings which are a legacy of fine German architecture.
