Germany Travel Blogs and Forums

The country of Germany is well-traveled by families, tour groups, historians, and students. This, combined with the power of the Internet, gives new tourists the advantage of reading about fellow travelers' experiences before they book their own trip. The Web is the best place to get fast and free advice through blogs, chat forums, reviews, and trip ratings.

Dulcinea's Insight

Many low-budget vacationers enjoy visiting Germany because the country has many inexpensive activities and travel accommodations. The "Eurotrip" link in this section is a great resource for discovering Germany on the cheap.

Remember that every traveler has a different experience. While chat rooms, forums, blogs, and reviews can be helpful, they are not always picturesque and accurate. Try not to rely on one Web site's forum or one blogsite for all of your information.

Travelogues are the public online version of a travel diary. They are best used to avoid repeating mistakes other travelers have made.

For a long, detailed collection of travel reviews, skim through the findingDulcinea's Travel Guide.
