I definetly recommend Bavaria and Munich-- yes, Munich is expensive, but there is so much to see and do there. If you want to save a little money, try to stay in a suburb & then take the U-bahn (subway) or S-Bahn (commuter train) into the city. I stayed at a small but nice hotel not far from the Hauptbahnhof, the Hotel Jedermann. Not super fancy, but nice, clean, and relatively cheap.

My other favorite city/town is Garmisch-Partenkirchen, down in the Alps near the Austrian border.

I wouldn't miss some of the castles-- Neuschwanstein in particular.

As for some websites, check out this one-- it's got hotel/gasthof recommendations, trip reports, and lots of good info. It was a big help when I planned my last trip:

Also, you might want to check out Rick Steves's site. He covers all of Europe, but there's lots of good general info there:

Germany is a beautiful country, but Hamburg was my favorite city of them all. Also, Hamburg is home to Sankt. Pauli, a large Red Light District (but that's not exclusively why I liked it). Visiting St. Pauli is what I recommend doing.

Forget Munich...it's too expensive over there and you'll get ripped off and really poor, only a few days of being there.
I advice you to go to Northern Germany, like Hamburg, LÃ¼neburg, Stade or Celle - all beautiful and great places and not that expensive as Munich.

Cologne (KÃ¶ln) or Berlin also would be another good alternative...but avoid Munich!

Here's a good tourist website for Germany:

The Black Forest area is beautiful. Lots of great little burgs to check out. Landstuhl (near Ramstein AB) is nice little town to go to...has some good bars too! :)
