I tried 5 Oktoberfest foods this year — and also filmed Munich’s official sausage tasting to find out where the best pork sausage at Oktoberfest 2026 was served.

Plus: one Oktoberfest tip from Munich’s KVR chief.

Munich’s Old Town Hall has more than 550 years of history and a Toy Museum hidden inside its tower.

From the Münchner Kindl and the Gothic Festsaal to Barbies, robots and model trains:

This time I’m exploring Giesing: Football, beer, working-class history, hidden corners and quite a few surprises along the way.

Including TSV 1860, FC Bayern, Germany’s first McDonald’s and Giesinger Bräu.

Mark Twain hated Munich — at first.

In my new video, I follow his time in the city: Karlstraße, his workroom on Nymphenburger Straße, King Ludwig II’s bizarre opera story, Munich’s old mortuary, and the Schäffler tradition.

Nymphenburg is much more than a palace, its real highlights are hidden throughout the park.

In my new video, I explore the palace, Amalienburg, Badenburg, Pagodenburg, Magdalenenklause and why Munich has a Chinese Tower.

My new video is online! ☀️

Lake Staffelsee is my favorite lake near Munich. With Murnau, a boat trip to Uffing, swimming, Alpine views and a proper German Eiskaffee.

Still something of a hidden gem for international visitors:

The Kocherlball returns on July 19!

One of Munich’s most unique traditions: thousands gather at the Chinese Tower in the early morning to dance in traditional dress.

Here’s my video about its history and atmosphere:

A different kind of video today.

Instead of showing another place in Munich, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my work as an independent tour guide.

I explain how bookings work, why I prefer direct bookings, and why I started YouTube

It was 32°C in Munich, so I escaped to Lake Ammersee. 🌊☀️

S-Bahn to Herrsching, boat to Dießen, swimming in Utting, paddle-wheel boat back, and finally Andechs Monastery for beer and Bavarian food.

I made good use of the two-day break in the rain and finished Part 2 of my Munich beer garden series. And today, of course, it’s raining again.

This time: Munich’s biggest beer gardens, ranks 5 to 1, including Nockherberg, the Chinese Tower and Hirschgarten.

The weather in Munich has finally improved again and I’m right in the middle of producing Part 2 of my beer garden video.

I still have two beer gardens left to film, so you’ll have to be patient a little longer if you want to find out where I had these awesome beef short ribs.

Munich’s biggest beer gardens — Part 1.

I visit 9 beer gardens with more than 1,000 seats, from Viktualienmarkt to Michaeligarten.

And of course, each one has its own little piece of Munich history.

Munich is under invasion. 👾

Hidden all across the city are mysterious pixel-art “Invaders”, on bridges, brewery walls, old tram shelters and even at the Viktualienmarkt.

I tracked down all 18 known Munich Invaders in my newest video:
