Description
Germany has the largest population of any nation in Western Europe, and is the ancestral home of the single largest ethnic group in America. To do justice to this major nation, we have called upon the talents and research abilities of six long-experienced journalists, most of them living full time in Germany. The resulting book is up-to-date, printed in large, easy-to-read fonts and contains:-Dozens of spectacular photos-Full-color maps throughout including a helpful, pull-out map-Compelling show more and fun-to-read discussions of Germany's history, art history and current culture-Sample itineraries so you can make the most of your time in country-Savvy tips on how to avoid the crowds and save money, whether you're a luxury lover or a backpacker-Opinionated advice on historic sights, nature areas, museums and other attractions, with star ratings to help you quickly decide what to see and what to skip. The book also contains dozens of no-holds-barred reviews of hotels, restaurants, nightlife venues and shops, from authors who have visited them all, and so have the ability to compare. show lessTags

Frommer's guide books are aimed at a certain market - North American, potentially travelling overseas for the first time, as interested in shopping as they are sight-seeing, not really wanting to get off the beaten track. Which is fine if that is who you are.
If that doesn't describe you, you should probably stick to a different travel guide. That said, if you had no other guide to Germany - this book gives a decent overview of Germany considering it is a large and interesting country that it is hard to do justice to with one book. Just don't expect to find anything off-beat, and be prepared to skip over large sections of the book if you are not interested in staying in hotels and going shopping.
