Lived there for 3 yrs in a town called Katterbach just NE of Ansbach in the Bavarian state.

I loved it there. So clean and nice. Often wondered why we fought the Germans when I was there - yeah, I know the real why, but it seemed so odd they we were such combatants twice in recent history... lol...

Yeah, almost all European cities are close - but they ain't that close

It's changed since I was there - I left in '89 and the wall dividing Germany fell in 90. If you can check out Berlin as well...

And if you want a sobering taste of history visit Dachau concentration camp just on the outskirts of Munich...

have fun and remember - protitution is legal there!

I would avoid Venice, but Paris may be worth the effort. There will be plenty to do and see in Germany for a 1 week trip. Make sure you make the most of it but are able to relax and appreciate everything while you are there. I bet it will be an amazing experience.

soo much history in europe to say the least.

i went to greece two years ago and the acropolis just blew my mind. people from all over the world were there. including hot australian girls

Normandy > Berlin > random German places I don't know about > Paris

Audi Factory Tour? (does it exist?) BMW would be a good one too... Even VW...

I went to the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart:

One of the most interesting places in Europe has to be Rome. But you need atleast two full days there to even begin to scratch the surface. I thought Paris was cool - the architecture and museums are spectacular. Its all about what you are interested in.
