Walking tour in Munich

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Today was our third day in Munich and our last night at the Munich Hotel Monaco. Staying at the Hotel Monaco was a great decision on our part. It is a great hotel and it is within walking distance of everything! On our first day here we took a walking tour. I highly recommend this because you see so much and you learn the history of everything. In Marienplatz they offer free tours and tours for 10 euros. We took the 10 euro tour because the groups were much smaller. The tour guide was great and we learned so much about Munich.

On our second day here we drove to Lugwig’s castles in Southern Germany. I highly recommend this. The drive is beautiful and so are the castles. We also drove to the Zugspitze which is the highpeak peak in Germany. It is located in a quaint little town in southern Germany that is also worth seeing. On our final day in Munich we went to Dachau Concentration camp and the site of the 1972 Olypics. Bother of these are must-see sites for Munich.

One of the things that made this trip to Munich so wonderful, though, was staying at the Hotel Monaco. The location is great and the staff is superb!

Sightseeing in munich – comments of our guests

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Well this is the first time in Munich and I have enjoyed my stay.  The Hotel Monaco was a great choice because it was close to the train station and walking distance to the Marienplatz. I found Munich rich in history and interesting. They offer a lot of tours that can help anyone get acquainted to the area.  For the single traveler like myself, I found Radius tours an excellent resource to understand the history.  The Dachau Concentration Camp tour was excellent. Our guide gave us a very in depth look at what life was like in the camp.

My first room at Hotel Monaco was very spacious, clean and cheery. I had only one complain because of the street noise. I am a light sleeper so I requested to be moved. I really liked the double bed.  My second room was a little smaller  but quieter. The breakfast spread is delicious and plenty. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and would consider returning again.

Till then,
