Completely revised and updated for 2007, Let's Go Germany is researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap, this guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever.

Forged from dozens of squabbling principalities in the 19th century and rebuilt after two World Wars and 50 years of political division, Germany is a nation where thousands of different mindsets peacefully coexist. Roman ruins share the horizon with glass-and-steel corporate headquarters and, while grim-faced, punctual businessmen and traditional country-folk are going to sleep, proudly assertive gay communities, and party-happy youths are emerging ready to dance the night away in one of the many clubs. The landscape is also hugely varied with snow-capped Alps in the south, sandy beaches and mud flats in the north, and windswept heaths, sprawling lake plains, and castle-dotted river valleys falling in between.
