  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2002 | In Munich, where locals specialize in good living, we visit boisterous markets and go-for-Baroque palaces, while office workers surf in the Isar River. Heading into the foothills of the Alps, we tour the fairy-tale castles of "Mad" King Ludwig, and climb to the highest point in Germany atop the Zugspitze. Then we cross into Tirol to conquer a desolate ruined castle. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #munich

    I lived in Bavaria (Augsburg) for 3 years while in the US Army. You cannot appreciate its beauty until you see it in person. The German people are very proud of their country and they are very environmentally conscious. The cities are very clean and the people very warm. Munich has so much history. Someday, I hope to make it back.

    Dear Rick, I live in Munich since many years now. Today an American friend sent me your video. I love it. Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation.

    Having just come back from Munich, I am not sure to be more amazed of the art work and history or the fact that the city was completely rebuilt, including many works of art.

    I went to Neuschwannstein several times. Once on a school field trip dragged my family once and then took my daughter and brother to see it. My daughter helped give the tour with the tour guide.

    I like Rick Steves' narratives, so watching his programs is always a pleasure for me. And Munich is really a very nice visit. But I would add the "Deutches Museum". A unique museum

    Bavaria is absolutely stunning. I was there 30 years ago. I visited the castles of Ludwig II. I remember sitting on the balcony of my hotel at night, looking out to see both Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles light up at night. It really felt magical. I've been to Munich twice and it is such a great city. Would love to go back.

    Bavaria was my favorite part of Germany. I miss many things about Germany such as October Fest and the beautiful Alps. Thanks Rick Steves for the tour and reliving my memories.
