Was kann man denn alles so in Deutschland machen? I am not happy with my current solution (What can I do in Germany?) and was wondering what someone else might say. The surrounding context deals with conventions, conferences and other events.
Thanks in advance!

Did I misinterpret the question then? Is it about the things you do AFTER work? As for that, not much fun these days ... Die Lage ist ernst :-( :-( :-(

Comment: "Thanks. I should have been more explicit, but the sentence refers to what possibilities there are for conferences and not afterwards, i.e., little in terms of enjoyment."

On second thought, since conventions and conferences are involved, \'fun\' things is probably the wrong choice.
What are some interesting things to do in Germany?

If it doesn\'t have to be a question, you could also say something like: Some exciting things to do in Germany!

What all is there to do in Germany?
This solution is pretty colloquial, but "denn alles so machen" is also quite informal. Here are a couple of (also very informal) examples of this from an Internet search:
some friends and I are going to be spending a week in Tempe, AZ. Then driving to
Vegas for a day, then LA for a couple days, and then back to Tempe.What all is there to do in Tempe/pheonix?
What all is there to do in the desert?
* There are a couple of interesting places and sights in the desert. Talk to the guards (both day and night) outside the city gates for some useful information. (etc., etc.)
