Saarbrücken
A German city that is half French in habit, on the border and glad of it. A baroque castle, a very good Ludwigskirche, and an invisible monument you cannot see on purpose.

Itineraries
Day trips from Munich
Munich has the best day-trip network in Germany and one famous trap. Six trips ranked, the Bayern ticket that changes the maths, and the castle rule.

When to go
Oktoberfest for first-timers
A litre is about 15 euro and the good tables never reach the public. The 2027 dates, how reservations actually work, and the morning that beats the evening.

Where to stay
Where to stay in Berlin, the city with no centre
Berlin has no single centre because of where the Wall ran, so you pick a neighbourhood instead. The five that work, and the 7.5% tax with no cap on nights.
