Munich, Germany

Fall is a great time to travel, and this fall may be quite special--since travel to Europe is down and bargains are starting to pop up all over. Maybe a trip to the Black Forest should be on your "to do" list? There's always Oktoberfest, although reservations will be tough. (This Pauline Frommer article has some ideas around the hotel crunch.) But given the unease in the world, perhaps revisiting some history would lend perspective: The Third Reich Tour, a Munich walking tour, and a visit to the Dachau Memorial are reviewed and recommended in our Munich Travel Planner.
