I’ve read that it is not advisable to drive in Munich but we arrived by car from Salzburg and drove past the train station on our way to Nymphenburg Palace with absolutely no problems at all thanks to our trusty GPS. The traffic wasn’t that bad – just like any other big city really. We pulled up outside the palace and were blown away by the sheer size of it.
After leaving the palace, we dropped off our car at the train station and only had a short walk to the Hotel Monaco. We were warmly greeted by Rita and were promptly settled in our room, with a map of the city and some general directions. I must say what comfy beds we had and plenty of space in our room.
We set off and walked through the old town, enjoying the throngs of people, street entertainers and a very happy atmosphere. Spent an hour or so sipping on a wine, drinking a beer and watching the world go by.
The next day was spent sightseeing in the old town, going up for a view of the city, touring the Residenze and generally enjoying ourselves. Munich has a wonderful festive atmosphere and is a nice place to be.
Thanks to Hotel Monaco for helping to make our stay so pleasant.
Here is our addition for you blog. Thanks again for all your assistance.
Cheers,
