Come along with us and discover some of Europe's most spectacular scenery, from the medieval towns and half-timbered houses along the Romantic Road to lovely vineyards along the Rhine River. Frommer's offers up-to-date coverage of all the country's highlights--music festivals, hiking in the Black Forest, Oktoberfest, cafes, castles, and Berlin's vibrant, cutting-edge cultural scene.
• Inside you'll find candid, detailed reviews of the very best dining and accommodations for any taste and budget. We offer a wealth of sightseeing, sports, shopping, strolls, and special moments--from highlights for the first-time visitor to off-the-beaten-track discoveries that will impress even the most seasoned traveler.
• From beer garden to Bauhaus, charming villages and über-modern cities, the Alps to the Zeppelin-Museum, our authors help you plan your perfect trip to Germany.

We have always liked Frommers and have subscribed to his "Budget Travel" magazine for some years now. In unfamiliar areas we like having a second opinion on lodging from [..] and Frommers fits the bill. More thorough that Rick Steves guides (which we heavily rely upon)... Unfortunately,as a result of the size we usually "tear out" sections before we leave rather that take the whole guide book with us.

Awful. If you want a list of Hotels and restaurants that have paid to be included in this guide-this is for you. If you want useful information on what to see and what to do-buy anything else. This guide has so little information that we left it in our hotel room in Germany. Just not very helpful.

I am going to Germany with my family, we will spend new year's eve there, I wanted to find a nice places for my family to visit. This guide compared to the Austria and Swiss ones was way below. Now I think a Lonely Planet would have been much better.
