Stained Glass in Munich New Town Hall

by

During my March visit to Munich we went to the top of the Neues Rathaus (Munich New Town Hall) to take pictures of the surrounding area. Unfortunately one of the towers in Frauenkirche was under construction, so those photos won't really be inspiring. We took the long way down from the tower and ended up seeing some beautiful architecture and this stained glass depiction of … [Read more...] about Stained Glass in Munich New Town Hall

Hofbrauhaus Bräustübl in Berchtesgaden, Germany

by

  Yesterday I reviewed the Intercontinental Berchtesgaden Resort, which has unfortunately changed ownership to Kempinski since my stay last month. While preparing this review, I went back and looked at some of the photos we took during our walk around town with Mrs. Jeffsetter, Geraldine and Rand. We walked around the city for hours, took in a nice sunset and then … [Read more...] about Hofbrauhaus Bräustübl in Berchtesgaden, Germany

Goodbye Intercontinental Berchtesgaden Resort – Review of Our Farewell Stay From March, 2015

by

This was not my first visit to the Intercontinental Berchtesgaden Resort, nor my first review of the property. But it will certainly be my last visit and review of the Intercontinental in Berchtesgaden. Heck, it may be one of the last reviews you see of this property under the Intercontinental name. That is because beginning May 1, 2015, this property is relaunching and … [Read more...] about Goodbye Intercontinental Berchtesgaden Resort – Review of Our Farewell Stay From March, 2015

Front View of Neuschwanstein Castle in Winter

by

At first I was disappointed that the weather at Neuschwanstein castle was so drab during our visit. But when the structure is this impressive, who really cares about the weather? After lunch, we walked up the hill to Neuschwanstein castle. It was as majestic as you might expect, especially with the snowy setting. The photos turned out well, considering the freezing rain … [Read more...] about Front View of Neuschwanstein Castle in Winter

Neverending Arches in Munich, Germany

by

One of my favorite parts of Europe is the views you can find from above. This often involves taking an elevator to the top of a tower and snapping photos of the surrounding area. While elevators are convenient for those on the go, I often find taking the stairs creates even more photo opportunities. This was the case on our recent visit to Munich. Sure we got to take photos … [Read more...] about Neverending Arches in Munich, Germany

Viktualienmarkt Market in Munich, Germany

by

If you are ever in Munich, make sure to visit Viktualienmarkt (Victuals Market) on your first day in town. Don't wait until the day before you head back to the US, because you will regret not visiting sooner. If you are a fan of cheeses, fresh pasta, fruits and vegetables, you will love the Victuals Market.  I assume that means everyone reading qualifies. I really liked how … [Read more...] about Viktualienmarkt Market in Munich, Germany

Sun Setting on the Town of Berchtesgaden, Germany

by

I am in love with the city of Berchtesgaden in Germany. We first came here on our honeymoon a few years ago, and I was back for two nights last week. The city is small enough to explore in a few hours, but you can always discover something new along the way. This time we climbed above the city to see a view from above, and then came all the way down to the road level as it … [Read more...] about Sun Setting on the Town of Berchtesgaden, Germany

Neuschwanstein Castle in Schwangau, Bavaria, Germany

by

There is no more iconic castle in the world than Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. Fairytale views, not such a great ending for Ludwig II. Now a landmark that everyone should try to visit if they are ever in Germany. We visited while the winter weather was still taking hold of Bavaria. Clouds in the air, sleet coming down, it was difficult to get good shots of the castle … [Read more...] about Neuschwanstein Castle in Schwangau, Bavaria, Germany
