Choosing to study in Germany can be a great decision, with a huge selection of leading German universities to choose from, and low or non-existent tuition fees. But of course, studying in Germany is more than just hanging about on campus; as a student, you’ll be overwhelmed by all the cultural experiences and natural settings out there to explore.
Germany is at the heart of modern Europe in many ways – geographically, economically, and as one of the leading political lights in the EU. It’s also a multicultural melting-pot, an international center for everything from arts and fashion to automotive design and beer festivals, and boasts a capital that over the last few decades has emerged as one of the trendiest cities in the world.
Add to this a history of great creatives and thinkers, including the likes of Goethe, Beethoven and Bach, as well as the recent tragedies of the 20th century, and you’ll certainly find no shortage of German artefacts and landscapes to get stuck into. Here are our top 10 things to do in Germany, just to get you started…
選擇在德國留學可以是一個偉大的決定，有大量領(lǐng)先的德國大學可供選擇，很低或根本不存在的學費。但是當然，在德國學習不僅僅是待在校園里;作為一個學生，所有的文化經(jīng)驗和自然等著你去探索。
德國在很多方面是現(xiàn)代歐洲的核心 — — 在地理上、 經(jīng)濟上、 以及在歐盟主導(dǎo)的政治地位之一。它也是一個多元文化大熔爐，為一切藝術(shù)、 汽車設(shè)計和啤酒節(jié)的國際中心，過去幾年已經(jīng)成為世界上最時髦的城市之一。
歷史上還有很多偉大的創(chuàng)意和思想家，包括歌德、 貝多芬、 巴赫，以及最近發(fā)生的 20 世紀的悲劇的歷史，你肯定不愁找不到德國的文物和景觀。下面是出國留學網(wǎng)www.liuxue86.com為大家整理的在德國留學一定不要錯過的10件事，你開始照著做就行了。

Germany’s capital city is unique. Study abroad here and you’ll never stop learning. Top historical sites to visit include the Berlin Wall, the Jewish Holocaust Memorial, Charlie’s Checkpoint and Potsdamer Platz.

There’s also much, much more to Berlin than historic sites. It has a vibrant film industry, a raging nightlife, great cuisine and an eclectic underground music scene. From the majestic Brandenburg Tor to the fashionable Alexanderplatz, Berlin is a capital city like no other.

This 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace is one of the most picturesque castles in the world.

Upon the death of his grandfather, Germany’s slightly eccentric king began the task of rebuilding the palace, a favorite haunt from his childhood years.
Incorporating his love of opera, most notably that of composer Richard Wagner, Ludwig built himself a haven in which he was able to live out his idea of the Middle Ages. However, the palace wasn’t yet finished when Ludwig died in mysterious circumstances by the lake. Today, visiting Castle Neuschwanstein is one of the most popular things to do in Germany with more than 1.3 million visitors annually. It’s also widely known as the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.
