Our Equipment

We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

The fact that people have to be told not to act like idiots at concentration camp memorials is really quite amazing.

As a Munich local, I have to say well done sir. I think this is quite useful information for tourists.
Munich is great. All seasons. 👍

Dude, as a Bavarian I am truly humbled by your love for and knowledge about my country. Keep up the good work!

Don't walk/stand in the bicycle lanes please and thank you!

[thrillynewt]

Do: Rent a bike! It's such a good city to be explored on two wheels

I am German, living close to Dusseldorf and Cologne, 400m away from Munich. I have seen whole Germany, and I can tell: Munich belongs to the most beautiful places in the whole country. For the landscapes alone, it's surely one of the top places you should go to when coming to Germany. I wanna move to Munich myself asap.

I'm born and live in Munich and work here as a cab driver since 15 years and I have to say that I agree 100% with the things said in this video about Munich... Good job, well done!

I was in the concentration camp Dachau near Munich. It made me thoughtful. Although I am too young and not from Germany. I never could make a selfie on this place. I even felt uncofortable as I took some normal pictures just for me.

Bin ich die einzige die immer hopperhaus statt Hofbräuhaus verstanden hat

[MartinThau]

Makes me want to visit this place, even though I live here since 30 years!

My later Father (an Irishman) said Germany was the best place in the world to spend Xmas. He spent 3 or 4 Xmases in Munich and the surrounding countryside. He said it was beautiful, like a postcard, with fabulous markets and hot food stalls. He recommended as a family destination during Xmas, saying there were so many activities for children.

And also people in Munich are the kindest, they were really welcoming, yes they are not very effusive but that doesnt meant they are rude, they are very kind and helpful with tourists and try to ask where you are from. I am looking forward to return :)

Sounds like you are saying "Opera house" instead of Hofbräuhaus Mark.

What a great video!  My wife and I were in Munich a month ago (as our "home base" on our vacation) and this video is just like what we experienced.  We enjoyed multiple beer gardens, checked out so much culture, took public transportation to many places, took the train to visit castles and to go to Austria...it was such a wonderful vacation!  Thanks so much for all of your videos.  They definitely helped us prep for our trip!

Born and living in Munich I have to say, you hit the nail on the head. An additional point: don't miss Munich Airport! One of the most beautiful and interesting airports in Europe. With own brewery (worldwide unique!) 😁

1) DONT try to start a putsch in a beer hall!
Sorry I have a dark sense of humor 😞

As an expat that has been living here in Munich for the past 4 years, this video totally combines all the best advices about Munich!! Every word 👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Don't forget Northern Italy is just a trip over the Brenner/ Brennario-Munich residents frequent Lago di Garda on weekends (aka Paradise), Verona ( think Romeo and Julia), Venice, Cinque Terre, etc....gorgeous places most in the US don't realize are just around the corner from Munich. The drive through Austria to the Brenner Pass ( Bremnario) is under an hour! Live in Munich and we hit the road for Italy at least once a minth. You can fly to Verona, Venice in 45 minutes. BOLIGNA, Toscana are worth it to. Basically, Munich is a gateway to the south. Really cool but ca.5-6 hour drive via Austria and 15 minutes through Slovenia and you're in Croatia ( gorgeous). Could go on and on but if you headquarter in Munich on a trip you've got endless possibilities for quick trips. Did I mention Prague? Sorry to bore but the best part of living in Munich are the quick trips over many a borders. Just a note : Munich is humourously known as Italy's northern most city.
