TTR8  Bavaria is Germany's largest "Land" and Munich is the Landeshauptstadt-the capital. We explore the city and become familiar with the urban transport system- trams, the metro (U Bahn) and the suburban railway-S Bahn. First we get you down town from the new Franz-Josef Strau? International airport without paying ?40 for the taxi fare! Then we look at places to stay and suggest a few outside the city-Landshut, Augsberg and Starnberger See. We explore the wonderful city centre, the Olympic Park and Tower, the Nymphenburg Palace, the icon of the beer capital of Europe -the Hofbr?uhaus, and the Deutsches Museum transport and technology collection.. Then off to the ancient Danube city of Regensberg for beer and bratwust and a river cruise to the German Parthenon -Walhalla. One hour further south east by EuroCity train is " one of the most beautiful towns in the world" - Passau. Set in a unique location at the confluence of three rivers this German town on the Austrian border with Italian style architecture will charm you. Our final day trip is to Salzburg, Austria's "gem". We start from the Hauptbahnhof,  and look at this busy international rail route. At Salzburg we take in the roundhouse, piggyback freight and motorail services before heading "down town". Salzburg can be busy!  Ride the "Wasserbahn" -regrettably water powered no more-to the castle for the best view in town.
