Munich
Pilsner, Dopplebock, Munich Helles – beer-lovers, take your pick! These lagers and more are on tap and up for pints every fall at Munich’s world-famous Oktoberfest – Germany’s hallmark brew festival (which, surprisingly, starts in September). Serious beer drinkers descend in droves to chug cold Bavarian brewskys from some of the country’s famous (and high-alcohol-content producing) breweries like Hofbräuhaus. Arrive early to secure a bench seat in one of the 14 beer tents – really enormous pavilions – or to stumble around the fairgrounds and enjoy the big brass bands and theme-park rides while munching on traditional Bavarian fare like roasted chicken, sausages, wieners, and pretzels. Of course, the city has a lot more to offer those who aren’t into the beer guzzling festivities: plenty of museums, historical sites, nightclubs, and gourmet restaurants.
