Oktoberfest in Magnificent Munich

Another gem of Europe is the city of Munich, Germany. With a plethora of places to visit, you will never be bored in magnificent Munich.

First stop, visit The Munich English Gardens. Here you can relax and take in the beautiful surrounding gardens. If you are in the mood for outdoor activity, rent a boat and ride on the Isar River that makes its way through the gardens. Next, visit the Frauenkirche Church. Known for its famous devil’s footprint, this legendary place will leave you intrigued. Be sure to glance up at The Munich Glockenspiel, or the world’s largest cuckoo clock! We also recommend a visit to the Munich Olympic Park, which is especially popular for its festivities during the summer months. In town late September or early October? Plan on stopping by the world-famous Oktoberfest. Known for its beer and sausages galore, this 200 year-old celebration draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world!

RealTravelers Rich & Kara share:

“We then drove down from Munich to visit the Dachau Concentration Camp and Memorial site. It was a reflective time. Our Munich hotel is ½ block from the Munich October festival grounds. (good thing Oct. fest is over!) We bounced around leisurely through downtown Munich, seeing many of the cathedrals, and climbing up 306 stairs to the top of St. Peter’s bell tower. The view was spectacular….Rich even went out on the outside walkway…very hesitantly! The cathedrals are great architecturally and are museum like with all the artwork and icons.” (more…)

RealTravelers Matt & Sara tell of their Oktoberfest adventures:

“After our whirlwind escapade to get onto the train headed for Munich, we got a taste of what Oktoberfest was going to be like. About an hour outside of Munich, the train filled up with men, women, and children all dressed up in traditional German attire: lederhosen. The train was so packed that it was standing room only. However, no one seemed to mind. Everyone was in high spirits as they were sipping their beers, warming up for the festival to come.” (more…)
