HEALTH

There is no vaccination requirement for entry into Germany. We do not think that there will be any problem threatening your health in meals taken at the region’s good restaurants and hotels. However, when you are not with the group, we recommend that you be careful about what you eat and drink, definitely consume bottled water, avoid ice, milk and dairy products, consume meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked, and for fruit, eat fruits that can be peeled such as bananas and pineapples.

CUISINE           

When German cuisine is mentioned, the first things that come to mind are cakes, potatoes, and of course beer. In this culture, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a very rich variety of beer and wine.

French cuisine, whose roots date back to the Middle Ages, has a rich culture. French cuisine, whose fame has spread worldwide with its famous local drinks and a variety of cheeses, is known for meat dishes cooked with different sauces and such famous desserts as crème brûlée, macaron, and soufflé.

Belgian cuisine combines the traditions of German and French cuisine.

Although Dutch cuisine is not very rich, its cheeses are worth trying. The other flavors are generally fast-food style.
