Germany - Explore Europe!
A
JYM student once said that you can leave Munich in the morning for
a cappuccino in Italy, return via Austria for a Wienerschnitzel
or Sachertorte in the afternoon, and make it back to Munich by night
for a well-deserved Radler with friends in the English Garden!
Whether
you want to embark on "la grand tour" of old during the
two-month semester break, or just get away for a weekend or day
trip, Munich is the perfect point of departure. Deutsche Bahn student
discounted tickets and low-budget airlines
make travel to nearly any place in Europe a breeze.
Closer
to home, the best preserved Roman ruins and medieval castles can
be found just a short distance from Munich. The cities of Nürnberg,
Augsburg, Regensburg and Bamberg are a short train ride away and
contain the richest examples of romanesque, gothic, renaissance
and baroque architecture in all of Europe.
And
just
beyond the city edges are numerous mountain lakes, alpine trails,
and snow-covered Alps. Best of all, you can be there in about
an hour!
"The
greatest part about being in Munich was being able to spontaneously
travel to Paris or Rome for a weekend. The freedom to travel around
Europe was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." (Peter, University
of Pennsylvania)
