What should you do when you take your holiday to Munich? One thing that comes to mind and is fun to do is the brewery tours. The tours are impressive and the samples are mighty fine tasting. German beer has become a novelty in many countries, but in Germany, beer is beer. They taste it every day and know how good they have it. Andechs Monastery is not only an architectural delight. It is a brewery that offers tours and samples. This place is a monastery, but you will more than likely never see a monk. The brewery is impressive and the beer samples are more than enough to give a need for more.

The Aying Brewery should be on your list of breweries to see. It is not big, but it still produces some of the finest beers that come out of Germany. Here you will learn about the history of German beer making and see the brewing plant as well as the area where the beer is bottled. After the tour, you head to the bar where you will do a little beer tasting. The tour is interesting, but it is in German, which does not hinder the experience at all. You can still see what is going on and how the beer is made and bottled without understanding the words. They may change this some day, but you will only know if you visit.

After you have had enough of the breweries, you might want to look at the BMW Museum. This is a factory tour, which is very interesting to see how the Germans put this sough after car together. You can then see the museum exhibits and the other displays that they offer. It is interesting to tour this factory, even if you have toured any other car plants because they do things differently than what you would think.

One particular place to stop is the Bavarian Film Studio. This is a short tour, but you will see so much about German filming. You might find it as impressive as the Disney Studios or the Warner Brothers Studios, but it always interesting to see how other countries produce their films and how much more different it is to the other studios. This tour is something that relays a message about how different everything is in different areas of the world. It also shows you why they can produce movies cheaper than the other studios as well.

After all the brewery tours, studios tours and car factory tours, you might be ready for a few more glasses of German beer. If this is the case, you will find that a holiday to Munich puts you right in the mist of little German pubs. The pubs are all over Munich and the people are always singing, dancing and having fun. You can join in or sit and watch the excitement. This is a perfect way to unwind and relax before heading back home to work and everyday life.
