If you are looking to experience more of Germany than the touristy sites, you should immerse yourself in one of the many cultural experiences the country has to offer. Here are three of the best ways in which you can engage with the current and historical cultures of Germany in a unique way:

Visit St. Thomas Church
You can delve into Germany’s musical history during a visit to Leipzig's St. Thomas Church, where Johann Sebastian Bach worked during his lifetime. During your trip, you can listen to music from the church’s boys’ choir or walk to the nearby Bach Museum to view an array of music manuscripts and hear recorded pieces.

Bike the Berlin Wall
One of the many bicycling tours that you can take in Germany is along the famous Berlin Wall site. Over the course of .8 miles, you can stop at several points of interest, including vibrant graffiti, old watchtowers, and the Berlin Wall Memorial.

Experience the beer culture in Munich
No German city hosts a beer culture more rich than Munich. In between trips to the world-renowned Hofbrauhaus, you can visit the nearby Andechs monastery. Under the guidance of Benedictine monks, this monastery has produced beer for hundreds of years and features a beer hall where you can sample some of its wares.
