we decided to jump on a train and go to a different country so we ended up in Austria at a small town called Salzburg . The train ride was only 90 minutes and 90 miles. However it’s not really a small town it’s a big tourist attraction and today is Saturday so that means alot more people were there. Gorgeous town up in the mountains where they filmed the sound of music and its Mozart’s birthplace

Germany – Munich- Augustiner Keller beer garden – 39
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustiner-Keller
Augustiner-Keller is a traditional restaurant and beer garden in the Maxvorstadt district of Munich, Germany. The restaurant was opened in the first half of the 19th century and is one of the most popular beer gardens in Munich.[1] Augustiner-Keller at Arnulfstraße 52 sells beer by Augustiner-Bräu, the oldest brewery in Munich.
History
The restaurant was first mentioned as a beer storehouse in an 1812 city plan of Munich. This storehouse belonged to the Büchl-Brauerei brewery which no longer exists. The 1842 city plan designated a beer garden selling food and drinks at the street known as Salzstraße at the time. Although the beer garden was situated next to the old Munich execution grounds on the Marsfeld, it was seen as one of the most beautiful parts of the city. In 1842 Georg Knorr took over the restaurant, which was renamed Knorrkeller. In 1862 the brewery was acquired by the Augustiner brewer Josef Wagner; the restaurant got its current name in 1880.
Beer garden
The premises were renovated in 1896: a beer garden with 5000 places, as well as a larger festival hall and the kitchen were developed. In 2010 the married couple Christian and Petra Vogler took over as the new tenants of Augustiner-Keller. There is a 208-year-old horse chestnut tree growing at the beer garden.[2]
