Germany
Beer halls, alpine day trips and some of the easiest group logistics in Europe
The honest version
Germany is the low friction option for a first big group trip in Europe. Trains connect everything, apartments sleep eight without drama, and Munich puts the Alps ninety minutes from your door. Autumn belongs to Oktoberfest, summer to lake swims and beer gardens, and winter to markets and very cheap flights.
