MICHELIN Guide Germany 2013 helps travelers find great places to eat and stay, with rigorously researched recommendations to more than 4,000 hotels and 2,000 restaurants, from small, family-owned accommodations to large resorts with spa facilities, and from simple inns to “starred” restaurants. Updated annually, the guide appeals to all tastes and budgets. Anonymous, experienced inspectors carefully select restaurants, using the celebrated Michelin food star-rating system. Travelers can rely on Michelin since only the best make the cut. While the guide’s minimal text is in German, a comprehensive introduction in English explains easily recognizable, time-tested symbols for establishments’ facilities and services.
