Germany: Linderhof Palace – A Beautiful Royal Palace of Bavaria

Before our visit to Munich, we’d never heard of Linderhof Palace. Or Schloss Linderhof as it’s known in German.

Germany: Bavarian Beer In Munich

We love beer. In fact, it features on our ’when to count a county’ criteria. We only tick a country off our list when we’ve drunk a pint of their locally produced beer. Along with one or two other things, of course. During our previous visits to Germany, we have naturally partaken in sampling the local sauce.

Germany: Christmas Market Magic in Frankfurt

Having visited Christmas markets in a number of European countries, there really is nowhere that does it quite like Germany.
