| Dresden is one of Germany’s most attractive cities. It is a popular stopover on the rail and Autobahn routes, between Western Europe and Prague. The city is located just west of the border between Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, about 205 km or 128 miles south of Berlin.

| Cologne is a truly cosmopolitan metropolis and, with its easy-going, sociable manner, it is often called the Most Northern Latin City–yet it manages to remain quintessentially German at the same time; a vibrant city that is now once again among Europe’s most popular short break destinations.

| I had the extraordinary opportunity to spend the better part of the last year living in Leipzig, Germany and am eager to share some of my fun travel adventures.

| This story made me think about how hard it is to find a place with purely traditional, authentic food, nowadays. But it’s far from impossible! These two friends talk about the time they had through Europe, looking for The Place and exploring the unique beauty of Germany, Austria and Luxemburg.
