Dachau Concentration Camp was the first camp that was set up by the Nazis, originally propagandized to keep the socially inappropriate and criminals when it was actually their very first step to eradicate the Jews. The Dachau Camp served its importance as the rest of the camps that followed modeled after it.

BMW Welt & Museum @ Munich, Germany
The BMW Welt, BMW Plant and BMW Museum are all located in the same vicinity in Munich. I am not a car fan, but visiting the plant of one of the world’s top car manufacturers would have been totally fascinating – only if it ever came true. The plant tour needs to be booked, way way way ahead. I tried booking 3 months ahead, and for all the four days I was in Munich, there were no slots available. The next best thing I could do was to visit the BMW Welt and the BMW Museum. Continue reading
Weisse Brauhaus @ Munich Germany
Weisse Brauhaus on Maderbréiustralle (Mader-brewery street) has history that dates back to 1540, where a brewery was thought to be situated at Weisse Brauhaus’ present location. It was first in the hands of the Mader-brewer family from the 16th to 18th century and after a few transitions it eventually landed in the hands of of the Schneider family. The Schneider family excelled at brewing and was granted the”Weissbierprivileg” by King Ludwig II – the rights to brew wheat beer. Continue reading
Visiting Neuschwanstein Castle & Hohenschwangau Castle in Fussen, Germany
The Neuschwanstein Castle was the main reason that drew us to Bavaria. I saw the Neuschwanstein Castle for the very first time from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a Disney movie I watched when I was young. I was instantly wooed by it although at that time I wasn’t sure if the castle was computer graphics or if it was real. Continue reading
Pension Lindner @ Munich, Germany
We stayed at Pension Lindner during our time in Munich and I could not be more pleased about this pension. It is located at the center of Dultstraße, a shopping street with plenty of eateries that connects Sendlinger Tor Station and Marienplatz Station so it is pretty easy to get to anywhere from the pension. It is a 10 minutes walk to either stations. Continue reading
Fisch Witte’s @ Munich, Germany
As we were walking around in Viktualienmarkt, we came across Fisch Witte’s signboard with an appertizing “Jumbo Fischsemmeln” on it. Fish sandwiches are typically less common in Malaysia so when we had to stop and give it a try. Continue reading
Viktualienmarkt @ Munich, Germany
Viktualienmarkt of Munich is located in Marienplatz, in the same vicinity as the Rathaus-Glockenspiel. If you are catching the 11 am glockenspiel show, it would be a good idea to check out Viktualienmarkt or have lunch there afterwards – something we didn’t do as we came back to it for dinner since it was a 10 minutes walk from our hotel; only to find that most of the stores were already closed. Continue reading
Allianz Arena Tour @ Munich, Germany
Visiting the Allianz Arena would not have been in my itinerary if it was not for Gary’s suggestion; him being a big fan of Bayern Munich Football Team. There are two ways of visiting the arena, one is by buying a ticket and watch a football match which is almost impossible because every single game is sold old months in advance not to mention that they are pricey, so we were left with the other option of taking the guided Arena tour ( 10 Euros per person).
