I often use Green Guides for their ratings, maps (country, regional, driving tours, city, town), site descriptions, historical information, ease of use, and overall accuracy. Since the quality of these guides is so consistent I do not typically feel that reviews are necessary. You always know what you’re getting when you buy a Green Guide.
I am writing this review because the Germany Green Guide is particularly exceptional. Since there are no supplemental regional guides for Germany, the country guide is packed with information for all regions. This contrasts with the France and Italy country guides, which are superficial and significantly less useful than the regional guides for those countries.
Particular strengths of this book include the itineraries for driving scenic roads, such as the Moseltal, Schwarzwald Crest Road (particularly the southern parts), and the German Alpine Road. The maps highlight (and rate with stars) amazing sites along the way, including waterfalls, spectacular views and panoramas, villages, churches, museums, castles, hiking trails, etc. Required touring times are usually provided. Depending on schedule and interests you can easily plan your time.
If your visit to Germany will be limited to Berlin, Munich, and a bus tour to Neuschwanstein, then this book is overkill. But, if you want to explore more of Germany on your own then this guide is essential.

The Most Relevant Info, the Best Format
Four stars is the best any guidebook will ever get from me, but this is one I’ve used often and extensively while driving around Germany, even though I know the country as well as…

Map of Germany
A big map with lots of detail. Cumbersome for travel. The whole of Germany. Wish it had something to indicate the former East/West demarcation.

Michelin Map Review
I purchaed this map for an upcoming trip to Germany. The map is very accurate and easy to use
3.0 out of 5 stars
Really big map
I thought this would be a normal sized driving map; however, the size of the map is huge, approximately 3 x 4 feet (?). It makes it difficult to use in the car.

great book
Exceedingly helpful. If you like history and culture do not go to a country without this book. It’s like having your own tour guide.

Michelin Green Guide – Germany
Anyone traveling, especially by car, should not be without this handy reference book to the towns you will be visiting. It gives a brief description as well as points of interest.

excellent
This book has a brief summary of German history and then lists German cities and sights alphabetically so they are easy to look up.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good overall book
The only thing that I would make different in this book would be to put more maps of the larger cities in it.
