Seville, Spain

Seville wins on soul. Joe shares his essential guide to the city’s landmarks, including a custom walking route that transitions from the riverside to the bustling shopping district. He also details the “happy accidents” that turned travel headaches into deeper explorations of Andalusia’s history.

Munich has a reputation for beer halls and lederhosen, and while you’ll definitely find both, the city is surprisingly polished and easy to navigate. This guide covers the essentials of using Munich as a home base, from free walking tours and world-class art museums to the logistics of day trips to Neuschwanstein Castle and even Zurich. I’ve also highlighted my favorite spots for a proper Augustiner and where to find a burger if you need a break from schnitzel. Whether you’re there for the history or the pretzels, here is how to make the most of your time in Bavaria.
