More than 125 million gallons of beer are consumed annually in Munich, home of Oktoberfest and the Hofbrauhaus beer hall.

Where to Drink: Indulge in a classic Munich Helles pale lager from one of the city’s six main breweries. Save time for the 11th-century Weihenstephan, the world’s oldest brewery. Munich also has several traditional beer gardens that are ideal drinking spots in the summer — try Seehaus for its view of the lake and the white swans in the English Garden. The Chinese Tower Beer Garden, also in the English Garden, features live bands playing traditional Bavarian music.

Average price for a half liter: 3 Euro
