Tourism
in
Germany has improved
since the end of World War II and many tourists visit Germany to
experience
a sense of European history. The countryside exhibits a pastoral aura,
while its cities exhibit both a modern and classical feel.
Germany has
many large cities
but no really large ones, Berlin being a borderline case; the
population
is thus much less centralized and oriented towards a single large
capital
than in most other European countries. The largest cities are Berlin,
Cologne,
Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart. The largest
multi-city
metropolitan areas are the Ruhr Area, the Rhein-Main Region and the
Stuttgart
Region.
Since about
1970 Germany
has once again had a thriving popular culture, now increasingly being
led
by its new old capital Berlin, and a self-confident music and art
culture.
Germany is also well known for its many opera houses.
Cologne
Germany - Cologne
(German: Köln) is Germany's fourth-largest city (after Berlin,
Hamburg and Munich), and is the largest city both in the German Federal
State of North Rhine-Westphalia and within the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan
Area,
one of the major European metropolitan areas with more than ten million
inhabitants.
