Munich's Oktoberfest is winding down -- despite its name, the party gets underway in mid-September and ends on the first weekend of October. From the ceremonial tapping of the first keg at the festival's opening until the celebration's final evening, the huge fairground outside Munich's city center is a slap-happy world of sausages, fancy hats, and maidens with flowers in their hair. For a visitor, there's no better place to see (and join) Germans at play - the atmosphere is infectious. Admissio

Premiering now on public television — Season 11 of Rick Steves’ Europe: “Germany’s Fascist Story” In challenging times, learning from the past is more important than ever. As we travel across Germany in Episode 1104, “Germany’s Fascist Story,” we learn how fascism rose and then fell, taking millions of people with it. Visiting actual locations — from Munich to Nürnberg to Berlin — we trace the roots of Nazism in the aftermath of World War I, when masses of angry people were enchanted by Hitler.

If Germany's on your list, consider timing your trip around one of Europe's biggest parties: Munich's Oktoberfest. I've been in Munich for each of the last two Oktoberfests, and I'm so impressed by the simple Bavarian joy of the party. For a visitor, there's no better place to see (and join) Germans at play. Inside huge beer-hall tents, you'll find a slap-happy world of lederhosen, dirndls, fancy hats, and maidens with flowers in their hair. Join the party with me in this clip from my new, one-h

Join me as we drop in on a classic beer garden in Munich—we're under the chestnut trees as happy locals enjoy a hot evening with cold (and very big) beers. I love Munich’s Viktualienmarkt, a lively world of produce stands and budget eateries. Imagine enjoying a nice German beer here with your favorite travel partner. (This is Day 55 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I research my guidebooks and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences and lessons learned in Vienna, the Alps, the Low
