Munich’s Westend: Beyond Oktoberfest | History, Art & Augustiner

Munich’s Westend is one of the city’s smallest — and most authentic — districts.

Just behind the Oktoberfest grounds at Theresienwiese lies a former working-class neighborhood full of history, public art, local pubs, and the historic Augustiner Brewery.

In this video, I explore Bavariapark, the Alte Messe, the Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum, contemporary art installations, and how the Westend is changing today.

If you’d like to discover Munich beyond the clichés, you’ll find my guided tours on my website.
