Germany's World Cup runneth over

Championship gives visitors a chance to see much more than soccer during Germany's World Cup runneth over visitors won't even need tickets to plug into the soccer excitement.

Games will be shown live on big screens in public places such as Berlin's Potsdamer Platz and Munich's Olympic Park, and thousands of people are expected to take part in fan festivals around the country.

Another option, as with Athens and the 2004 Olympics, is to visit after the event ends, since some hotels are raising hotel prices on game days.

Don't forget that World Cup kicks on June 9 and goes through July 9 and that they will be played in 12 German cities: Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Nuremberg, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Hannover, Dortmund, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Gelsenkirchen and Kaiserslautern.
