Germany

A 7-to-10-day trip typically runs from around ₹1,50,000 per person for a mid-range itinerary to ₹2,50,000 or more per person for a luxury one, including flights, visa costs, and accommodation.

Seven days covers Berlin, Munich, and one nearby region, such as Neuschwanstein or the Romantic Road, at a comfortable pace. Ten to twelve days lets you add the Rhine Valley or Black Forest without rushing the train connections.

Yes, broadly — Germany has very low violent crime, though the US State Department rates it "Exercise Increased Caution" (the same tier as France and the UK) due to general terrorism concerns rather than any Germany-specific threat. One practical, temporary detail: land-border checks remain active at Germany's frontiers through mid-September 2026, which mostly affects overland travelers crossing from neighboring countries rather than anyone flying in directly.

Entry to the Theresienwiese fairground itself is free, but the beer tents fill up fast on evenings and weekends, so reserving a table in advance is worth it if you want a guaranteed seat rather than standing-room access. Traditional Bavarian dress (dirndl or lederhosen) is common but entirely optional, and the festival runs September 19 to October 4, 2026.
