Where Should I go: Bavaria or England?
Bavaria
When someone says "Germany" you probably picture Lederhosen, sausages and beer. What you're actually picturing with that scene is the southern state of Bavaria. This region is like a scene from Hansel and Gretel – with stunning scenery and castles everywhere you look.
The largest federal state in Germany is home to approximately 12 and a half million people – all proud to be Bavarian. You'll find that many of the features of the Bavarian culture differ greatly from those in the rest of Germany. They know their roots and love their traditions, and they're always ready to share them with visitors.
With history, food, wine and plenty of kid-friendly activities, this is one area of the world where there really is something for everyone.
England
England is a destination people dream of – probably because England itself can be a dream. With double decker buses, quaint cottages and royal families, this country is the land of fairytales and folklore.
Do not confuse England for the United Kingdom or Great Britain. The UK, or Great Britain, is a constituent nation made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This country of 52 million people has gained an awful reputation for being gray, cold and rainy. In truth, the temperatures never reach either extreme and the rain isn't as frequent as you'd think.
While most everyone in England speaks English, be ready for thick accents. Typically divided by northern, southern and London accents, many can be very difficult to understand and may as well be a language of their very own.
