The German cuisine is also rich with different types of delicious traditional foods, as well as
vegetarian and vegan. You may be a picky eater, but in Germany you will always have a lot of
choices on what to eat and drink.
Painting and sculptures in Gothic style were very famous in Europe, including Germany. The highlight
of the 15th century were the design of altarpieces. Generations of German artists explored and
showed their skills in Baroque and Rococo style, as well as of Neoclassicism. Romanticism is also a
very important part of the German art.
Some of the most famous German paintings are: “The Sin” by Franz Stuck, “Wanderer above the Sea
of Fog” by Caspar David Friedrich, “Studio Wall” by Adolf Menzel, “Heller Altarpiece” by Albrecht
Dürer and Matthias Grünewald etc.
Germany, like the rest of continental Europe, drives on the right-hand side. You have probably
heard how fast cars drive on the Germany Autobahn. But you do need to know that the left lane of
the highway is for passing. Don’t plan on just staying in that lane because there is always some driver
who wants to pass you like ein Fledermaus out of Hell. This also means when you check your mirror
to see if it is clear in that lane it is a good idea to check twice as you may underestimate how fast that
car is coming.
