Beer Capital of the World.


Munich. After arriving around 2 p.m. in the region of Bavaria, Carly and I headed straight to arguably the most famous beer hall in the world, Hofbrauhaus. We met some friends from Canada at our hostel (EuroYouth- one of Europe’s famous hostels) and spent a good 4 hours in this giant beer hall laughing, drinking, and of course making fun of Canadians.

Our second day, we took a Sandeman’s free walking tour all around Munich and saw some of the most famous sights including the Glockenspiel, the Jewish Quarter, and Marienplatz square. After this walking tour, we decided to continue on to take a tour of Dachau, one of the first permanent concentration camps in Germany. Our tour guide, Travis, took us around for about 3 hours at this camp ground and we saw some really sad stuff including the Roll-call square, cremation tanks, and many memorials. For a tour guide having to do the Dachau tour 6 times weekly- he did an amazing job.
