Germany

Germany is the largest economy in the European Union and one of the most-visited Schengen destinations from Georgia, both for tourism and for business, medical and education travel. The country runs from the Baltic and North Sea coasts in the north to the Bavarian Alps in the south, and divides culturally into the Protestant industrial north, the wine-and-river center along the Rhine and Moselle, and the Catholic Alpine south. Georgian travelers are well represented in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich for both diaspora work and study, with Goethe Institute and DAAD language and university exchange flows running steadily.

Berlin and Munich are the two anchor cities. Berlin holds the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the Berlin Wall Memorial along Bernauer Strasse, the East Side Gallery, Museum Island with the Pergamon and Neues Museum, and the Holocaust Memorial. Munich, the Bavarian capital, holds the Marienplatz with the Glockenspiel, the Englischer Garten, the Residenz and the BMW Welt and Museum, plus the Oktoberfest grounds at Theresienwiese. From Munich, the day-trip range covers Neuschwanstein Castle, the Bavarian Alps around Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Dachau memorial. Other major stops include the Rhine Valley with Cologne Cathedral and the Lorelei rock, Hamburg with the Speicherstadt and Elbphilharmonie, Dresden with the rebuilt Frauenkirche, and the Black Forest for hiking and spa towns.

The best windows are May to September. June through August are warm and long-daylight, late September into early October covers Oktoberfest in Munich, and December covers the famous Christmas markets in Nuremberg, Dresden and Cologne. Winter in the south brings ski tourism around Garmisch and Berchtesgaden.

The currency is the euro (EUR). German is the language, English is good in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich but patchier in smaller cities. Cash is still preferred at bakeries, small restaurants and some hotels, so carry euros. Deutsche Bahn ICE trains link Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne and Munich in 4 to 6 hours, and the Deutschland-Ticket monthly pass covers all regional trains and local transit for a flat fare.

For Germany, compare Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC) and Berlin (BER) for your destination and travel dates. Keep Tbilisi (TBS) and Kutaisi (KUT) departures separate in the search. FlyGE does not sell Wizz Air tickets. Check the operating airline, connections, total journey time, baggage and final price in each available offer. If comparing Dortmund (DTM) or Memmingen (FMM), include the onward journey to your actual destination in the time and cost comparison.
