Adventure Tours in Germany

As a destination known for its crazed futbol (soccer) fan clubs, fancy taxis (most of them are Mercedes, talk about a sweet ride), and bread museums (not kidding), Germany is the most ideal place for sports, history, car, and food lovers. Even though there are thousands of towns and cities within this densely populated country, the most popular places for adventure seekers are Berlin and Munich.

With more museums than rainy days, Berlin is a history aficionado's haven. Take the time to engage and educate yourself about Germany’s history within these museums or embark on city tours to explore traditional German architecture. For those who’d prefer to embrace an adrenaline rush, over 40 percent of Berlin is made up of parks, recreational areas, woods, and rivers, making it perfect for camping, biking, hiking, and canoeing. After a long day’s worth of adventuring, change into your fancy schmancy clothes to sit down and relax within one of the many opera houses in Berlin, the only city with three active ones.

Home to the infamous Oktoberfest festival, Munich houses more than 10 Euro steins and pretzels larger than your face. Take an enjoyable bike tour around the city, while stopping at the Neues Rathaus (new town hall), a neo-gothic structure decorated with gargoyles, making it one of Germany’s most distinctive structures. For all those surfers out there, who said catching waves had to happen in the ocean? Eisbach is a small man-made river, with currents and wakes large enough to catch some gnarly waves; hang loose dude!
