Munich and the Foothills of the Alps
In Munich, where locals specialize in good living, we visit boisterous markets and go-for-Baroque palaces. while office workers surf in the Isar River. Heading into the foothills of the Alps, we tour the fairy-tale castles of "Mad" King Ludwig, and climb to the highest point in Germany atop the Zugspitz. Then we cross into the Tirol to conquer a desolate ruined castle.

Alois Dallmayr Delicatessen
When the king called out for dinner, he called Alois Dallmayr. As you enter, read the black plaque with the royal seal by the door: Königlich Bayerischer Hof-Lieferant ("Deliverer for the King of Bavaria and his Court"). This place became famous for its exotic and luxurious food items: tropical fruits, seafood, chocolates, fine wines, and coffee. Catering to royal and aristocratic tastes (and budgets), it's still the choice of Munich 's old rich. Today, it's most famous for its coffee, dispensed from fine hand-painted Nymphenburg porcelain jugs (Dienerstrasse 13-15, behind New Town Hall, tel. 0180-500-6522).
