How To Visit The Hofbrahaus – Munich’s Most Famous Attraction!

As you probably know, the Hofbräuhaus is one of Munich’s (and one of Bavaria’s) most famous tourist destinations, especially for beer drinkers, and its name is recognized worldwide.  In fact, it dates back to 1589, is one of Munich’s six breweries, and its now owned by the Bavarian state government.  In my experience, the Hofbrähaus is a great place to visit as a tourist, especially for first-timers!  I always take first-time Munich travelers to the Hofbräuhaus on one of the first nights!

Restaurant Review: Geisel’s Vinothek – An Impressive Find Near Munich’s Train Station

I’ve come and gone through Munich’s train station a number of times over the years, and even stayed in the area out of convenience, and every single time I struggle to find a decent place to eat!  Now don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of restaurants near Munich’s main train station, but most are of the fast food and budget quality.  While this isn’t always the worst, I  wanted to find a nice, non-budget restaurant near the train station for my trip to Oktoberfest this year (as I was staying nearby at the Aloft on points!).  After lots and lots of searching, results steered me toward Geisel’s Vinotehk!
