10. Munich, Germany

You don’t need to brave this city’s often-raucous Oktoberfest; Munich’s beer culture is on tap year-round.

Raise a glass: During summer and early fall, head to fun and festive Chinesischer Turm, a large beer garden located under a Chinese pagoda in Englischer Garten (the city’s largest park), or to circa-1812 Augustiner Keller to mingle with locals beneath 100 chestnut trees.
