Munich, Germany
Most people visit Munich for the beer. It’s the brewery capital of Europe. The world’s biggest beer festival, Oktoberfest, is also held here every year (it’s canceled this year – but is thought to be up and running again next year). Beyond the beer, there are also an array of impressive cathedrals and palaces to see. If you’re a foodie, you’re also certain to enjoy the world-class restaurants. Munich may only be realistic as a weekend trip if you live on the East Coast as flights here can take just over 7 ½ hours.
