In anticipation of the upcoming Euros, we’re off to Munich and Bavaria with travel and culture writer Rachel Preece. In Munich we explore everything from historic art and architecture to the upstart creative businesses that are rethinking the city’s traditional image. Further afield, Rachel regales us with the region’s charms – think lofty mountains, beautiful lakes and fairytale palaces.

Tune in for the inside scoop on Oktoberfest, Munich’s beloved standing wave and plenty of beer recommendations. Prost!
