There are 30 international airports in Germany that provide conveyance to passengers worldwide. Of the thirty, the busiest five airports are as follows.

Frankfurt Airport resides in the heart of the city of Frankfurt. The airport is considered the first airport ever built in the entire world. In 2016, it welcomed 60 million passengers and is viewed as one of the busiest airports in Europe. The airport has five runways, four of which are four kilometres long.

Munich Airport serves the city of Munich and the rest of Bavaria. The airport has two runways both are four long. Last year, Munich Airport was host to 44 million passengers. The Airport is located in Freising, 40 away from the Munich city centre.

Dusseldorf Airport serves the city of Dusseldorf and the rest of the North Rhine-Westphalia state. The airport is only 7 away from the city centre. The airport handled 23.5 million passengers last year and has two well-maintained runways.

Berlin Tegel Airport is the international airport fulfilling the needs of the city of Berlin. The airport was a host to 20 million passengers last year and has two well-maintained runways. Even though it is among the busiest airports in Germany a new airport has been built to replace the airport. As of right now, the airport is clearly functional but is destined to be closed. The new airport for Berlin might be the Berlin Brandenburg Airport destined to be opened in 2025 .

Hamburg airport serves Germany’s second-largest city, Hamburg. The airport has two runways both of them are more than 3.2 long. The airport served 17 million passengers in 2017 and is only 8 away from the city centre.

The rule of thumb is to book flights at least three and a half months before your actual departure. But if you intend to go to the Oktoberfest in Munich then perhaps taking a six-month margin would be excellent. If you try to book a ticket in early November or in June then the tickets would be considerably lower than that in the peak seasons.

British travellers do not need a visa to visit or stay in Germany. The UK passport needs to clearly state the visitor as a ‘British Citizen’, in order for this waiver to be applicable.

• The most celebrated Film festival, after Cannes, is the Berlinale Film Festival. Each year hundreds of thousands of filmmakers and actors descend from the stars onto the platform of the festival in February. Films of every language, with every topic, using all sorts of technologies both new and old are showcased before an eager audience at the Festival.
• The Leipzig Book fair sees books, books and more books being brought out by publishers for public critique and reflection. The hallways and the galleries of the biggest malls in the city are decked with books on every subject under the sky. Fiction readers compare their knowledge about fantasy universes and professors discuss and engage with new ideas published in the shiny new books. The festival brings that intoxicating 'book smell' to Leipzig in late March.
• At the International Wave Goth Festival expect the celebration of the socially unacceptable and the awkward. The idea of the festival is to make room and shelter those who follow the Goth subcultures, who think a bit differently and who ponder upon questions that nobody asks. Sometimes, answers to these questions are thought-provoking if not revolutionary. Participants wear want they think; their attire is an extension of their personalities and cannot be described merely as costumes.
• August brings along the “Long Night of the Museums”. The 180 museums that participate in the Festival need to bring out something new for the special night. The excitement fills the air around the museums and art galleries as they are about to display their exhibits, and then the night begins! In the late hours of the night, hundreds flock to their favourite museums to view the spectacle in store for them.
“Oktober gave a party, the people by hundreds came”
• Six million people attend the Oktoberfest festival of the Bavarian beer. The beer is accompanied by the juiciest pork sausages and the crunchiest chicken legs. Laughter echoes in the expansive halls built to house the thousands that come buzzing for the Bavarian nectar. Don’t engage in a bet, the Germans are great at chugging their pints but keeping their wits about.

The freedom to move anywhere anytime is of the utmost importance to the German people. Transportation in Germany is easy, fast and cheap thanks to the network of roads, rails and highways.

Roads

There is an extensive and densely packed road network in Germany. Germans were the first to build highways or signal-free roads for the first ever automobile cars. This tradition has been maintained by successive governments through the years. Germany, famously, does not have a speed limit for lightweight vehicles. You can move with all the speed you can muster, on German highways or ‘Autobahns’ as they are called in Germany.

Buses

Surprisingly, intercity bus routes were outlawed in Germany since the 1930's. This was done to protect the railway network of the country. However, this ban was lifted in 2012, and now there are many bus services that bring people in and out of the major cities of Germany.Bus networks within the cities also connect the German people and bind them as a whole.

Railway

The railway has been enshrined as the German mode of transport. Even though Deutsche Bahn Railway Company has been privatized completely, the government still holds at the shares. The railway is given a Euro 17 billion subsidy that makes it more affordable for the German citizens and for the freight that moves through the country. The railway keeps Germany's roads less congested. The cities of Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Nuremberg have intra-city U-Bahn mass transit systems. Other cities in Germany have S-Bahn and tram systems that connect the city with itself.
