Germany blends efficiency and creativity: rebellious Berlin, fairy-tale castles in Bavaria, deep forests and cutting-edge engineering. Europe's largest economy, it has long drawn Cameroonian students and travellers. The Schengen visa demands rigour, but ties between the two countries are strong and the transport network is exemplary.
