The city is very historic. WWII history enthusiasts will love it. For other history enthusiasts there is a wealth of museums and historical sites (such as the varying Royal Palaces) to visit. Those who like to party will enjoy the abundance of Beer Gardens and Clubs. It is possible to save money by cooking at home, using public transit, and simply using good sense. Winters are long and rainy, but summers are equally long and pleasantly shiny and warm without being hot. Swim in a See (lake) at least once. It is traditional amongst the population, and great fun. I cannot emphasize this enough: Love Deutsche Bahn! The German Rail system is well organized, affordable, and goes pretty much anywhere! (Think all the way from Istanbul and Moscow to Paris!) - Aug 2013
