Germany Germany (German: Deutschland) is located in central Europe and a founding member of the European Union. Due to its size and location in central Europe, Germany boasts a large variety of different landscapes. Generally, the country's climate is mild and a large part of the rural areas is covered by forests.  Though relatively small according to world standards, Germany's attractions tend to be bigger than its surrounding European neighbouring countries. This is of no surprise as Germany is the biggest country in Central Europe and has the largest population on the continent (excluding Russia). Today, some of the world's biggest economy is lead by leading technology and world famous companies (eg: BMW, Siemens, SAP) from Germany. Berlin, the biggest city and capital of Germany is one of the most impressive and remarkable cities in Europe. The country's financial capital (Frankfurt) features an unusual skyline for Europe with its many high-rise buildings including the continent's tallest office tower. The world's most famous beer culture is centered around Southern Germany's leading city Munich, where beer is traditionally served in 1 liter mugs. Munich is also the site of the annual Oktoberfest, Europe's most visited festival and the world's largest fair. We'd love to welcome our students to experience the variety of Europe's culture and history.
