Where to Go DK Eyewitness

In anticipation of the upcoming Euros, we’re off to Munich and Bavaria with travel and culture writer Rachel Preece. In Munich we explore everything from historic art and architecture to the upstart creative businesses that are rethinking the city’s traditional image. Further afield, Rachel regales us with the region’s charms – think lofty mountains, beautiful lakes and fairytale palaces.
Tune in for the inside scoop on Oktoberfest, Munich’s beloved standing wave and plenty of beer recommendations. Prost!

This week we've got a very special bonus episode with social media sensation Kacie Rose, whose funny and refreshingly honest account of the highs and lows of living abroad has earned her a following of over 1.5 million people.
In conversation with Lucy Richards, Kacie talks all about the joys of solo travel, dealing with homesickness, embracing failure and the importance of doing the sh*t that scares you.
Plus, tune in for a behind the scenes look into the making of Kacie's brand new book, You Deserve Good Gelato.

This week we’re off to Glasgow with travel writer and whisky expert Sarah JC Gillespie. Home to exciting independent businesses, lively nightlife and an unparalleled music scene, Glasgow packs a cultural punch.
Tune in for a Victorian cemetery beloved by Hollywood filmmakers, drool-worthy doughnuts that are building a reputation and unmissable whisky distilleries for those who want to taste their tipples right at the source.

This week we're off to Stockholm, famous for its clean living, sleek design, crisp winters and long summer nights. Our guest Malcolm Jack shares the best late-night bites, the locals' favourite swimming spots and the story of an ill-fated warship extraordinarily well preserved by the Baltic waters into which it sank. And, of course, it wouldn't be a Stockholm episode without mention of saunas and ABBA!

This week we’re off to Quebec with food and travel writer Pamela MacNaughton. Together we explore the vibrant culture, sights and flavours of Canada’s largest province, often fondly referred to as “the Europe of North America.”
Tune in for hot chocolate snobbery, postcard perfect views in Quebec City, mural art in Montreal and ice canoeing across the Saint Lawrence River. Of course, we couldn’t forget to mention Canada’s national dish in the place it originated – it goes without saying poutine is on the menu.
Pamela's restaurant recommendations:
Aux Anciens Canadiens (traditional québécois cuisine) 
Buffet de l'Antiquaire (diner with breakfast poutine)
Chez Gaston (traditional poutine)
Restaurant Sagamité (Indigenous cuisine)
La Korrigaine Brasserie Artisanale (woman-owned microbrewery)
Le Fin Gourmet (gourmet, mother/daughter owned and operated)
Tannière3 (unforgettable fine dining)

Tune in for unmissable jazz in New Orleans, the little-known white sand beaches in Alabama and the surprising connection between food and the civil rights movement.
