I arrived in Munich this morning, it is a beautiful city from what I’ve seen so far. Everyone is really friendly and helpful. Our hotel (Hotel Monaco) is really cute and the staff are so nice. Our room is really spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. It is directly opposite the train station, so it only took us a few minutes to get here which was fine, even with our heavy luggage. In fact, we initially hopped into a taxi, only to be told by the driver we could walk!! We are also so close to the center of Munich, it only took us a few minutes to reach the heart of the city which is Marienplatz. There are plenty of shops, markets, fresh fruit stalls, restaurants, beer halls, little bars… plenty of things to keep us busy. We had a great traditional Bavarian dinner of Roast Pork which was really tasty! Also sampled some nice local beers. Looking forward to doing a bike tour tomorrow and seeing more of this lovely city.
