Some of the world’s best archeology, history and art museums, vibrant nightlife and reasonable prices, annually attract millions of visitors from around the world. Touristic sites exist in Berlin in abundance, and in a nutshell, we may include the remains of the Berlin wall, with all the colorful graffiti decorating it, the Reichstag Building housing the German Parliament, a structure that constitutes an interesting evidence of ancient history beside modern architecture, Checkpoint Charlie – a historical point which served as a crossing point between the eastern and the western parts of the city during the cold war, the Jewish Quarters including all its courts and synagogues, and of course – the Tiergarten Park, Berlin's largest park, which was even awarded the nickname “Berlin’s Central Park”.
Munich, Frankfurt and Cologne (Koln) are other very popular cities to visit in Germany, but for those wishing to visit the outskirts of Germany, the nature and the numerous attractions located outside the big cities - car rental is the ideal solution.

Albar’s recommendations for the traveler in Germany:
Although highways without any speed limit can be found in Germany, it is recommended not to drive these roads at a speed exceeding 120km/h.
Parking in Germany is allowed solely on the right side of the pavements. On one-way roads, parking is permitted on both sides of the street.
The requirement of wearing seatbelts applies to both the front and rear seats. Riding the front seat beside the driver (without any special children’s chair) is permitted from the age of 12 and above.
A right turn at a red light is allowed in Germany only to the extent that a green arrow is marked above the light, indicating to the right.
According to the German law, getting stuck on the highway without fuel means breaking the law. Therefore, it is recommended to equip oneself in advance with a full fuel tank before a long drive, and making sure that the car has been refueled before the tank empties. Fuel stations operating 24 hours a day can be found in major German cities.
In Germany it is recommended to turn the lights on while driving, regardless of the visibility or the driving time.
