Reply With QuoteGerman beer are certainly worth investigating
Tell me about them, please. I'm planning a trip with my father (meaning I don't have to pay for anything!!!) and brother and would love suggestions on what to see / where to go. My friend is studying abroad in Ulm, so I'll be in that area for at least a day. Otherwise, we have no plans. Please advise.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Everytime I had a 'lunch special' in Barvaria, it included a very large stein of beer. Please plan accordingly.Originally Posted by BlackCat

He does fall within my desired age range...I think that b etor are more interested in father/daughter activities
but seriously, i have a bf.
also, eww.
My brother is 16, but has no interest in alcohol (as it should be at his age) so we'll also need other activities. My father will no doubt want to see old churches/cathedrals/prison camps / historical things. Any suggestions on those? We'll be going in June if that helps.
Does the grave of Johann Gambolputty count as a historical thing?

Go to Stuttgart, it's twinned with Cardiff.
"History is a lie that has been honed like a weapon by people who have suppressed the truth. Centuries from now, your own history will also be suppressed."
in Europe kids start drinking at 12...
first learn to drink, then drive. much safer.
I work in a town that is twinned with Stevenage. Have they ever met their ugly twin? Although I can imagine even Stevenage seems hip and exciting compared to said German town.Go to Stuttgart, it's twinned with Cardiff.

In fact it is so boring it doesn't have a Wikipedia entry - in case it bores the internet so much it breaks it.

Berlin is full of interesting stuff to see. Munich has intersting stuff too, though not as much as Berlin in my opinion. In general, I thought Frankfurt was dreary. Most of the industrial parts of Germany were almost totally destroyed in WWII and rebuilt in the late 50s/early 60s. As a result, the architecture in those towns is really ugly.

Stuttgart has a funky modern art gallery. Ulm has a delightful cathedral, one of the gems of the Middle Ages in Europe.
Here's the Unesco website for Germany's world heritage sites:

Ulm: http://www.letsgo-europe.com/Germany/Ulm/
The Ethnological Museum in Berlin has stunning examples of African art, especially from Nigeria- and don't forget the great club scene there too.
I wish you a very happy holiday.

Please don't enforce your twisted Morals on others, when I was 16 I already had my First 'Stammkneipe'.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Cathedrals and churches?
Go to Münster ...
it has a cathedral and also the cages of the anabaptist leaders, which are still hanging at the outside of the tower of the Lamberti church.
If you want to see some medieval-like town, you should also try Rothenburg ob der Tauber,
whose historical city is still enclosed in city walls (although AFAIK most of it is reconstructed, as Rothenburg was target of extensive allied carpet bombing during WW2). It also has the main store of "Käthe Wohlfahrt", which is a well known seller of Christmas Kitsch (and usually present on all german christmas markets)
"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...After eight years of this Administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!" — Henry Morgenthau, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Treasury secretary, 1941.
Thank you all for your awesome suggestions!
I lived in Stuttgart about 50 years ago, and visited it a couple of times about 35 years ago, but have not been back since, fraid i don't remember much.
We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.
Silly, complicated Christian legend involving the nasty slaughter of 11,000 virgins under the care of St. Ursula, who is the patron saint of Catholic schoolgirls. Their bones decorate the room. Oh, those Catholics.The 'Golden Legend' Room!

And if you are in Berlin and want to taste something hot...
if you (or your dad) are courageous you order the sausage together with "The Source"
