Welcome back!

After a few difficult years for international tourism, travel is well and truly back on people's agendas. Once again the hubbub of half a hundred languages fills Munich's cobbled streets, and day-trips to Bavaria's Alps, castles and picturesque villages are more popular than ever.

The Oktoberfest in 2023 was in fact the best-attended on record, drawing an estimated 7.2 million people from all corners of the globe.

And just as the world is falling back in love with the place, trends such as contactless payments, a boom in hotels, cheaper flights and the prevalence of Airbnbs have made travel easier than ever before. So what are you waiting for?

You'll find plenty of useful information, stories and useful advice on these pages to help get you started planning your trip.
