Travel to Germany
Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2008 12:39 am
Like certain forum spam bots, I'm (likely) going to be travelling to Germany for two weeks or so in late October / early November of this year. I'll be at a conference in Dresden from around the 22nd to the 25th and then Jülich (near Cologne / Köln) around the 27th and 28th for a separate I'm-not-quite-sure-what-it-is-yet-but-it-doesn't-matter-for-this-discussion. I'll probably spend another week and a half total before and after being a tourist (exact days not yet set), and can probably get a few hours a day during the conference itself to do things in Dresden or the immediate area.
Since there's a good number of Germans on these forums I thought I should ask if anyone has suggestions of what to do or see or where else to go or stay in the area of these cities.
During the conference I'll have to stay in the hotel where the conference is held and don't have to pay for it, but anywhere else I have pay for myself and but pick for myself, so suggestions are requested.
I'll probably want to check out some other cities in the vicinities. Berlin seems interesting, and perhaps Prague while I'm in the east, and then I'm not sure what to do while in the far west Germany / Netherlands / Belgium / Luxembourg area. Just going to a few cities for a day or two each to see the sights would be me default plan, but again I'm interested in any suggestions of specific things or places to check out.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
