Come on, it´s Bladenight in Munich!

“Where are you rolling?” asked surprised tourists. Summertime in Munich is Blading time!

Every Monday evening you can roller-skate from 9 PM in the city of Munich. Around 8000 people are skating every week around Munich.

Blade night is a great highlight in the city and it is impossible to imagine a summer without a Skate night.

The routes go through the whole city centre. This night is suitable for enthusiastic, sporty people of all ages. You can enjoy “your city” smog-free for two hours!

Since 1999 this event takes place and counts to one of the biggest events in this vein in Europe. Road-blockings, numerous assistants and the police taking care for a smooth activity. We recommend our “sporty guests” of Hotel Monaco to join in the Blade night!

You have a lot of possibilities to hire roller-skates in the city. Use this chance to be part of this fabulous night until 14. September 2009!

Do you love Ireland?

Everyone who has been to Ireland or grew up there knows how special that country is. Irish music, dancing, …captures your heart right away. I’ve been there 5 years ago but the positive feeling I’m connecting with this country has never stopped. For those who are a bit homesick (me as well), but can’t leave Munich at the moment, there is a great alternative. The Green Farm Festival at the outskirts of Munich gives you a great idea of the Irish way of life. For 5€ a day or 10€ for the whole weekend (19-21.6.) you can watch the Tir na nOg Dance Academy or the Emerald dancers, take part in the election of the “Rose of Tralee” (but you need to have Irish roots for that) or listen to Sarah McQuaid and many others. Taking part in dancing lessons under the blue sky on dry summer grass is just great fun. The only negative point is the peripheral location. You have to take the S-Bahn to Halbergmoos, which is close to the airport, and from there a Shuttlebus leaves all 20 Minutes for the festival area. But the long trip is worth it. You can also camp there the whole weekend, what I’m planning to do for next year. I hope I will have time then. *thumps up*�
See you on the 19th. A good alternative is to sleep in the Hotel Monaco, just close the main trainstation in the center of Munich

Hotel Munich-Octoberfest

admin — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:36:15 +0000

Probably the most fun I have had visiting munich took place during my trip to Germany Oktoberfest:The celebration lasts more than two weeks and originally commorated the marriage of King Ludwig the first:We made reservations well in advance, because this party is like the maritigras only much more popular with not only germans, but people from all over the world.

A hugh parade opens things up with each of munichs six breweried entering a beer wagon pulled by a dozen. Hugh horses all decked out beaufifully and sitting in the wagon are men and women, sampling the fine brew of each.

The parade went for hours; I think the whole city came out.

We walked to the fairgrounds where there are at least six tents holding, thousend of people.We could not even get in, so we walked back to town and went into the Hofbräuhaus up to the third floor.

The band was playing and everybody singing and having a good time.

After a few liters of beer we retiered to our Munich hotel to watch the fun on televison, prost!
