Three days and three nights in this city, and I agree that it must be one of the most livable cities in Germany, if not Europe! I loved walking around the Marienplatz…watching people shop and eat and sell fruit stop and listen to street music…it is so vibrant and alive! Of course, one must visit the Hofbräuhaus… I drank my first and last liter of beer there in the picturesque Bier Garten. Perhaps the best place in Munich to spend an afternoon is in the English Garten (Munich’s Central Park.) I walked by surfers and marvelled at the fact that they surf in such freezing water in the downtown of a major city.
Another must in the English Garten is a stop at the Chinese Tower. My friends and I sat in this large 6,000 seat picnic area/ bier garten— complete with huge beers and lots of laugther and music and people speaking all kinds of languages. This city is so pedestrian and bicycle friendly that exploring it is a treat! I know I will be back someday… Tchüss, München!
