Obviously everybody who answered this question so far has never visited nor lived in Germany.  I have lived here for over 3 years, and so far its been fairly decent.  Its true that Germans are not overly fond of the Americans, but for the most part, if you are not military, theres usually less hassle.  Germans are rude and pushy according to American standards and what we are used to.  Ignore it!!  Learning some of their language helps alot!!!  As far as places to avoid, if it doesn't look like its a safe place to be, then chances are, its not!  Its a great place to visit, and there is much history.  And, they have GREAT BEER!!!!!

You can get there by subway.  There is a stop right ouside of the stadium.  Here is a site that may be of help.  Have fun.  Germany is a great place.  I lived there for 8 years.

as munich is by far my favourite town in germany, i would recommend you to go to munich. \nhere is a website, where you can book private rooms during the world cup period, kind like B&B's in usa. also they offer furnished small apartments, if you intend to stay longer.\n\nhttp://www.checkin-muenchen.de/?mms=2\n\njust i want to tell you, that you won't get ANY ticket for any game at all anymore. if you go to germany you will end up watching the games in a pub or on giant screens on big places. the tickets are sold and they are bound to the name, therefore there isn't even a blackmarket in front of the stadiums to by a ticket.\nhave fun in germany and enjoy your stay!

Having lived in Germany...\n(1) passport (duh), a map of the area you'll be in, and your dictionary\n(2) Credit Card with an International symbol on it (not all regular Visa/MC/AMEX/DISC cards work in the ATM's over there! Check with your bank before you go.) Don't take traveler's checks - they're way too big of a pain.\n(3) an electical converter. They're available at Radio Shack, sport chalet, etc. It converts any edison plug into what will work over there, and also adjusts from 110 to 220 for you. It's important if you take a laptop, hairdryer, alarm clock, etc.\n(4) Clothes that will allow you to dress in layers. Germany can be freezing cold one day and sunny (though rarely!) the next. Make sure you have comfortable walking shoes - leave the flip flops at home! - that will give you traction on hills and cobblestones. Castles are always at the top of a hill! Take a coat that is treated for rain - because it WILL rain - and definitely an umbrella!!\n(5) A sense of humor! (Americans: I mean this as a caution, not in offense - Your country's politics don't exactly allow you to be popular overseas, especially near a big city like Berlin, so don't head into a pub with headstrong conservative opinions. Leave your American flag clothes, patches, keychains, etc. at home as you won't ever see a German wearing his/her flag, aside from on football/soccer shirts! If all else fails, say you're Canadian!!) Be willing to try new things, go to new places, and listen to the opinions of new people. You'll walk out of there with new friends and lots of stories, guaranteed!!!

If you are Asian and you are here illegally, go home.  Don't let your first act on our soil be a federal offence.  \nIf you are Russian and you are here illegally, go home.  Don't let your first act on our soil be a federal offence.  \nIf you are German and you are here illegally, go home.  Don't let your first act on our soil be a federal offence.  \nIf you are African and you are here illegally, go home.  Don't let your first act on our soil be a federal offence.  \nIf you are from Kenya, Hong Kong, or even the South Pole and you are here illegally, go home.  Don't let your first act on our soil be a federal offence.  Does that kind of clear it up for ya?

that's crap about not liking black people.  i live in germany now and they're no more racist today than anywhere else.  you'll always have your share of jerks anywhere....germany is no exception.  they love to drink and socialize, they have quiet hours at certain times of the day, ex: lunch hour from 1130-230.  you can't do things such as mow your yard, etc....they take much pride in their environment, they are very clean and they sweep their streets and sidewalks every week.  they manicure the plants and trees.....they don't leave their car running to keep the air clean...actually i think it's a law.  they are very concious of keeping their environment clean and healthy.  they shop on a daily basis for meats and produce....it's a beautiful country all around.

I have lived in Germany for two years. I have met some extremely nice Germans - very thoughtful and charming. I have also met some unbelievably rude Germans. I imagine it's the same way every place in the world.

Would be better to go to another place.  Germany has forgotten how to educate people.

Germany, without question. Lots to see and do, not only that you're close to a lot of other countries. I loved the people there. I was in the Army, stationed in Mannheim, about an hour south of Frankfurt. That country is awesome, if I could afford it, I'd go back in a heart-beat.

I've been to Hannover (north of Frankfurt) for a tech trade show, and while there I visited Celle, Benningsen, Munich, and Hamlin.  It's nice, but the people are hard to fathom.  The German culture is a little tough for Americans to understand at first.  You should talk to a few people who lived there for a while before you make a decision.  Good luck.
