Germany Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase

GERMANY PAVILION

Enter a charming, fairy-tale inspired village centered on a cobblestone plaza. Visit splendid shops and enjoy extraordinary food and spirits. In Germany, fantasy, folklore and festivity abound as you step into a German village where Guests can experience Oktoberfest every day. In Der Bücherwurm, Guests will marvel over the hand painted eggs and steins. In Der Teddybar, children will ooh and ahh over the toys there and are sure to find a favorite to take home. The adults in the group will want to be sure to visit Kunstarbeit in Kristall where crystal jewelry sparkles in the light. Those are just three of the many shops in the German Pavilion where shopping and dining are the featured attractions.

Sommerfest: Sommerfest, a counter service restaurant, is a great place to stop if you are looking to dine on Deutsch delicacies such as a bratwurst or frankfurter loaded with sauerkraut. At Sommerfest, it won’t take Guests long to make up their mind what to order since the menu consists of two German staples, sausages and beer. For those under 21, soft drinks and other drink options are available. One can’t forget the yummy chocolate cake and crisp apple strudel.
