I am so pleased with my visit to Munich thus far. I feel very safe walking around the city; it is very clean, and the people are very friendly. Munich is laid out quite well, in the sense that it is easy to get around by foot to see most (if not all) of the historical landmarks.
The markers on buildings indicating their age is quite nice to follow as well. The Munich train/subway system is easy to use as well, and helps a great deal to reach some further landmarks…or if you’re running short on time or are simply worn out from all of your walking, it’s nice to jump on and quickly reach your next destination. I strongly suggest visiting Munich in December, as I have. The Christmas markets are wonderful! And they are everywhere.
Nothing beats walking around the city, mingling with people from all over, taking in the sights- the beautiful lights and decorations for Christmas, the delightful smells of bratwurst, apple streudel, glüewein (warmed, mulled wine), etc. You must enjoy a warm mug of glüehwein while you mill around. I also recommend the Monaco Munich Hotel where I stayed and a warm pretzel with mustard- delicious!
