National Geographic Traveler: Germany

I think these Nat Geo books are the best. Not for hotels or restaurants, but outstanding for deiscovering sights that appeal to you with their fantastic photos of each place they review.

I specially like the walks it suggests. You can see the most importants sights of every city.

This has been a very good book for us. It has a lot of the standard sights but a few that you don't find in every other guide book. In fact, at the back of each section there are small blurbs about (usually) smaller sights or villages and we have enjoyed some of those more than the really popular cities and sights. We're living in Germany for just a few years and like to choose different areas to explore when we can. This book has been the only one we've needed to refer to.
