Munich and the Foothills

of the Alps

Narrated by Rick Steves

30 minutes; European Travel Guide

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, the Zugspitz. Then we cross into the Tirol to conquer a desolate ruined castle.
