I have 15 days to travel in Germany in November. Where should I go?

First of all, any possibilites to re-schedule? Coming earlier maybe? Octobers are referred to as "golden octobers" here. November weather is awful, really. Lots of cold showers. Or later? December has less rain and on top of that, the lovely German Christmas market atmosphere. :)

Train rides might take you quite long; even with the fastest train youÂ´ll spend about 6 hours on the train to get from Berlin to Munich. Most likely, your EuRail ticket does not(!) include the fast-train option, which would make that same trip take 9 to 10 hours - no kidding.

Therefore, IÂ´d suggest you rather go for spending time in a particular German region or cities relatively close to one another. This way, youÂ´ll actually spend more time having a look around cities than sitting on trains.

As you donÂ´t give any specifics, itÂ´s hard to give hands-on advice here. What are you interested in?

If youÂ´re interested in history, definitely stick to the South (Bavaria and Bayern Wurttemberg) with medievial towns, castles etc. If youÂ´re into art, make sure you stop by in Cologne (North-Rhine Westphalia) with its many, many... uncountable museums pertaining to all different kinds of art. The Northwest (with Hamburg or Kiel) is definitely worth a visit if youÂ´d like to meet down-to-earth people, use ships rather than busses for sightseeing trips. ;) If youÂ´d like to combine water and history, stop by LÃ¼beck. If politics and the surrounding atmosphere are your thing, make sure you include Berlin, mainly the "Regierungsviertel" (government quarter) with the Reichstag/seat of parliament.

I could list loads more.... what are you into, really? History? Shopping? Architecture? Clubs?

You shouldn`t miss Hamburg, LÃ¼beck, LÃ¼neburg, Munich, Colongne. In Munich you should visit "Deutsche Museum" best technical museum in Germany.

Don't sleep or just sleep on the train. Take a digital camera with lots of memory cards. Take lots of pictures and figure out where you were when you get home.
