My wife and I were in Munich and took a train out to Dachau. It was an interesting tour. You see…read morethe crematorium and some rebuilt barracks and a lot of history of the first concentration camp. Our tour guide was very good and seemed to enjoy his job. The tour does not take you to some of the areas, but there are plenty of displays in those as well. The visitor center is also pretty nice and helpful service. Worth a half day trip while in Munich.

Dachau was one of the first concentration camps and was the longest running one spanning from early…read more1933 to 1945. I have been to other camps around Europe, but this one was larger than the others that I've seen. They all are similar in that it is very sobering and sad to walk amongst these sites where so many atrocities occurred. It's insane to visit a place like this and to realize there are people on this planet that believe this is fake and never happened. It's free to enter and is a short drive from Munich. There are many different buildings and outdoor areas to walk amongst, the main ones being the small museum, the barracks, and the worst of all which was the gas chamber. This place is absolutely packed with history and is a very important educational experience for everyone. It's important that these crimes aren't forgotten and hopefully prevented in the future. It's honestly a sad visit but I would definitely recommend that everyone should visit this site at least once. Understanding history is the best way to prevent it from occurring again so it's really important that these lessons aren't forgotten and that these victims are remembered.

NOTE - they end up closing an hour early and will also pressure you to not buy a ticket if there…read moreare only two hours left in the day. That being said, if you're a speed walker/museum goer, you could see the treasury in an hour. If you enjoy art and seeing trinkets, I think this museum is a great place to spend your time. I could spend an hour or 5. It really depends on the person.

Expect to spend at least 2 to 3 hours if you're willing to read and listen to the audio historical information. This is well worth the trip. A short walk from our hotel. And you get to go through the English gardens.

One of the highlights of my time in Munich. I love a good outdoor market and this one is one of…read morethe best. Open everyday except Sunday, you can find everything here. Fresh flowers, meats, cheeses, baked goods and fresh baked breads, and of course beer and wine bars. There's something here for everyone and it's always fun checking out all the different booths. I walked over every morning for fresh Cappuccino at Leo's Kaffee and would pick up a pastry at one of the bakeries. In the afternoon, I would stop by the pickle guy and buy a few of the best pickles I've ever eaten. So many choices from sweet to sour, spicy and my favorite a super sour with a spicy horseradish. The long line moves quickly and if you like pickles, you must stop here.

This was easily one of my favorite farmers markets in Europe. There was a great selection of fresh…read moreproduce, condiments, snacks, alcohol, tea, flowers, cheese, and more. Unfortunately, I visited during the holidays, so some stalls weren't open. One shop in particular really caught my attention--it specialized in mustard (Senf) and offered so many varieties I had never seen or even heard of before. I was excited to try everything. Prices ranged from €2 to €7 per bottle, and while I was tempted to buy several, my luggage limitations held me back. In the end, I chose two: black truffle mustard and matcha mustard. Can't wait to try them once I'm back home.
