In de Wildeman[^].
If you can't get in there (it does get quite busy), Arendsnest[^] is also good.
Depending on what time you get there, you'll probably be too late for Brouwerij ‘t IJ[^].

The town itself with the canals and atmosphere I'd say.
But if you're not after anything specific I'd rather stay in Germany since there's just as much to see there aswell.
Where will you be staying?

Itterbeck is for German standards in the middle of nowhere.
I asked my wife, who has a German degree in Tourism, and considering the time of the year she recommended to go to the Christmas market in Münster. Which is half the distance compared to Amsterdam.
When in Nuremberg you also have a Christmas market, but you're also just half an hour away from Bamberg, a very picturesque and well preserved medieval town known as the brewery capital of Germany.
Last I checked they had twelwe breweries, several of them in the town center and some of them also do tours.

I don't recommend it, unless you want to practice opening the way as an american football player.
It usually is so overcrowd that you barely can walk. Besides (in my opinion) Nurnberg downtown is not so pretty, there are a couple of highlights but I would not extra travel there, another thing is if you are already in the region.
I agree about Bamberg

Go to McDonalds and get a quarter pounder with cheese (ok, this is a good candidate for the lame joke of the day).

Isn't that "a Royale with cheese"? Go for a Big Kahuna Burger instead!

Yes, just find your place in the formation, follow the car in front of you for a few hours and you will arrive well rested. But why does everybody have a trailer rolling behind the car? Rumors have it that even police cars pull around trailers. Do they ever catch anyone? And what do they have in the trailers? Fries?

There's always the sex museum, it's full of weird (or perfectly normal depending on your stance) stuff.

If you don't want POT nor a prostitute, you can always see them in the pub The Old Sailor

It was discussed a few threads down.
And since I have recently bought a new car I thought I'd give you what I look at.
1. Automatic gearbox, since my wife refuse to use anything else.
2. The chair is very important, since I have recurring back problems and often enough drive long distances.
3. A large luggage compartment is important when you drive long distances with the whole family.
4. A big enough engine to keep me from being a road block on autobahn.
5. Reasonably low fuel consumption. Because money.
0. Accepted by my wife.
6. ACC.
7. Good headlights.
8. No Peugeot, Renault or Opel.
This is my first level filter. But I'm not religious about it.

-1000....10000. Accepted by my wife.
That is the main [edit*]and only[edit*]Point and makes life that much easy

That's reality.

For me it is easy
1. Pickup truck
2. Engine that can tow at least 12,000 lbs.

Wow, big wife?

Not in any particular order:
Price
4 Wheel Drive
Mileage
Good seats
Decent enough engine (no autobahn here)
Good turning radius
Road visibility (I've driven cars with huge blind spots because of pathetic window arrangement)

Road visibility is a serious problem nowadays since all cars needs to be crash proof.
But atleast you're less likely to die in that crash you caused from not seeing that other car.
|
|

|

Price... Yeah, that's pretty much my main concern when buying a car.
Currently I drive less than 10000 km a year, which is close to nothing, but I do really need that car
Luckily my work pays for it (mostly).
