Germanic Countries

This summer, I had yet another astonishing vacation trip, and this time it was with friends and it was located in the middle of Europe, divided between 4 different countries where we visited interesting and diverse towns. Here's several of them, with the somewhat exception of Bolzano which isn't Germanic but rather a bonus entry:

Innsbruck, Austria


Largest city of western Austria. Plenty of restaurants, malls and older looking streets during this rainy visit.

Samnaun, Switzerland


Tax free, cheaper and supposedly a rather isolated town from the rest of Switzerland, Samnaun was pleasant with higher as well as lower degrees of temperature. This is only the first of several cities of this unusual country I will want to see in the future, including Bern, Geneva and Zurich.

Vaduz, Liechtenstein


I actually am surprised to have visited Liechtenstein given it's microstate status and location. It's really not my kind of tourist spot seeming as there was about nothing of extraordinary to see, but I suppose seeing the famous landmark castle and the capital Vaduz from above made the trip worthwhile despite the prices here being absurdly high.

                                                   Bolzano, Italy  


Just after passing by the border on a pretty large mountain and descending it, Bolzano is not far ahead, and featured impressive architecture here and there, and surprisingly a lot of green nature was featured inbetween and around the city.
