Munich and the Foothills of the Alps
Video Overview & Insights
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 wish I was born in Europe..

Look at the difference of only 11 years ago. I go now every couple years and its all turks and somalians. Awful what happened over the last decade. Merkle betrayed the country in the name of maintaining government party power. I hope germany wakes up to get out of this mess

@LaynoProdIt looked so beautiful and peaceful before the middle easterns and north africans. what a shame
@tommaso7649I was here a couple years ago with some family. It had been a dream of mine since I was young to go to Europe. We stayed in Feldkirchen which is outside of Munich. We saw the Marienplatz, and as we were walking through I started shedding a few tears. I remembered Rick was here and everything. We also went to Vienna and Salzburg which were incredible as well. I actually cried a few times on the trip just because it made me think of Rick, and that I was living a dream I had forever.

@lingdatang669I'm sorry can't help it but the south of Germany isn't just Bavaria, that's only half of it. The western half of southern Germany is called Baden-Würtemberg
@dorotheajeske5029Mr. Steves and co.,
Your channel is an absolute amazing YouTube/internet treasure! Thank you, endlessly.
Bavarian women are so hot. At 10:05 älles für en dupa.
@27th_Inf_Div_WWIIHammer. Keine Türken, Syrer, Afghanen, etc. I miss when Germany was actually Germany.
@Itachi21xMunich’s mix of wide squares and cozy alleys is amazing. One moment you’re in front of Neues Rathaus, the next you’re in a quiet side street 🌆
@MolotkoEuroTravelLudwig was a massively selfish twit who spent nothing but money on himself.
@d.l.l.6578Munich has some parts, but basically, it is boring and not charming, more industrial. Life is 0. Food -0. Too expensive for the offer. 1 day or 2 is enough, and I lived and worked there.
@lisbon2407Always enjoy you videos brilliant
@keithrichardsom1898wait a second - bavaria borders france? i had no idea
@tgore27610:07 view 🥰
@BittuYadav-pi4sg❤Bavaria🎉
@mavericknguyen7542Munich is the epitome of excellence. I don't know why I feel that
@CandlestickTVI liked Bavaria Neuschwanstein castle. Munich not so much, too villagy for me and the Marienplatz is not that great. Also had the worst experience with a German receptionist . Still traumatized by it.
@titois2255Munich Where Hitler Failed In Art School😂
@RasmaniMandal-q5oI can say since 2002, Munich is a very different place, the locals can attest to this.
@pawel8365I loved in BAMBERG for one year you should go check this over 2000 year old town with its own castle and its own type of Beer...not to mention it's was the place Neopolien declared war on Germany -- it has wonderful cathedral and a beautiful Rat house in the middle of a fast moving river.....
@BobLem-r4bwonderful video , thanks so much . I love Bayern and you highlight it really well .
@hillstfan3735First part not quite right.
Southern Part of germany consists
of Baden- Württemberg in the south West and Bavaria in the south east .
As Every bavarian Knows our King was killed by the Preußian secret Service…..by Bismarck!
@Your-political-scientistWhy do Americans call the city “MYOO-nick” instead of “MOON-chen”?

@ShowkotHussain-t1uBeen in the Bravaria area to visit Neuschwanstein castle, which is amazing (Burgeltz castle is also amazing). But I was surprised of how many beautiful places, scenery , architecture, you name it. Germany is one of my favorite countries to visit while in Europe.
