2 years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Germany.

If you are planning to visit Germany this coming holidays, this post might be helpful for you.

Worth highlighting is a visit to a REAL detention camp – Sachsenhausen concentration camp(near Berlin) and BMW factory tour (in Munich).

The camp tour cost us around 16euros for a day trip by an experience guide. There were alot around in fact, you could easily pick up brochures from the place you stay or just ask around

The camp was established in 1936. It was located north of Berlin, which gave it a primary position among the German concentration camps: the administrative centre of all concentration camps was located in Oranienburg, and Sachsenhausen became a training centre for Schutzstaffel (SS) officers (who would often be sent to oversee other camps afterwards). Executions took place at Sachsenhausen, especially of Soviet Prisoner of war and Jewish.

A walk through this living hell made me realized the importance of harmony among races and the terror of war.

When they say the best things in life are free, they are true.

A journey into the Munich plant literally left me in shock. I have never said so many “Wahh!! , Fuiyo!!” within 2 hours , in my life before. Walking through the processing plant,you see how they make their 3 series from raw material to engine manufaction and to car testing. A not to be missed destination for car lovers.

Book early and check out on their timing and pricing ( it was free 2 years ago) from their website

Germany is also famous for its castle. The most famous , and one of the three commissioned by King Ludwig II, overlooks the gorgeous Hohenschwangau valley.

If the architecture looks familiar, you’re right; Walt Disney used the castle as inspiration when designing the Sleeping Beauty Castle for Disney Land. Hundreds of artisans from around the globe took sixteen years to build but a third of the planned castle. Neuschwanstein castle was never finished, its folk tales continue till today.

Another good news is Euro is falling. As of today, its 1Euro= 4.576RM.

Enjoy~
