Munich exudes Bavarian charm. Beer fanatics should head immediately to the Hofbräuhaus, a hops heaven that’s been churning out the good stuff since 1589. The drinking is downright legendary during Oktoberfest, a celebration of local beers and German specialty foods. Emulate world-class athletes at the Olympiapark, where skating on the Olympic ice rink will make you feel like a champion. The promenade of Marienplatz is perfect for people watching and gawking at the Glockenspiele of City Hall.

This prominent public square, the largest in Munich, still stands as the center of social activity in the city, much as it has throughout history.
We were lucky to visit Marienplatz during Christmas, so we could experience the magical part of the decorated tree, the Christmas market with all its colorful displays of baked goods, toys, gluhwein. It's a busy place in the heart of Bavaria, reflecting new and past, mixing old architecture and modern shopping malls. Bustling atmosphere, a sea of tourists and locals create a unique vibe of hospitality and generosity of Bavaria.

The sound emanating from this collection of 43 bells can be heard throughout downtown Munich.
Beautiful building with chimes (Glockenspiel), the square is interesting and we recommend the visit.

This large public square is constructed in the style of ancient Greece.
Housing many museums and the NS documentation centre, this stunning area is well worth a visit. Although a lot of the area has been tastefully restored since the end of the last war, traces of the past still remain in the form of 2 concrete bases which held the so called temple, which once housed the remains of the NS members killed in the putsch. Adjacent to the NS documentation centre is the building where the Munich agreement was signed and is now a music school. Even if you just visit the NS documentation centre, take time to look at the other buildings that they mention and help them to bring the history to life and think of the attocities committed in their name.

Look down at Munich from a height of 190 metres. Here you have the best views as far as the Alps. At a speed of 7 m/s you soon get nearer to heaven. The view of Munich, its surroundings and, if the weather is good, the Alps from the Salzkammergut to the Allgäu Alps is just as unique as the Olympic tower itself. Up here on one of the highest towers in Europe you can get away from the bustle of the city. Take a deep breath, forget everything and then relax. From the viewing platforms of the tower at a height of 190 metres, the shiny silver tent roof silhouette of the Olympic park is a brilliant example of exceptional architecture. At a height of 291.28 metres, the most characteristic symbol of Munich is three times higher than the spires of the Frauenkirche church. Since being opened on 22.2.1968, this huge tower with a weight of 52,500 tonnes has withstood every single storm.
fantastic revolving restaurant with great menu and warm ambiance inside the olympic tower plus the great aerial view of munich.

This is one of the largest and most popular beer gardens within the English Garden. We visited mid-week and were surprised at how busy it was (it was a stunning Spring day). Food and beer were really good with a great atmosphere. Loved the pork knuckle and giant pretzels. Perfect for people watching and relaxing in the sunshine all afternoon.

This monument and exhibition was created in tribute to the non-violent resistance during the period of National Socialism. The group denounced the regime's crimes and oppression, and called for resistance. Sadly I was too late to visit the exhibition and had to make do with the monuments just outside the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich

Pretty neat architecture enhanced by pretty red flowers on its facade. Occupied by a big store. Did not enter as it was closed on Sunday.

Was intrigued when I first read about this. A river surfing spot in the middle of a city park!! Really enjoyable for surfers and an action/ sports photographer's delight.

Greek culture was seen as the craddle of civilization - thus, a truly cultured city, one thought in the 19th century, also ought to have its share of Greek buildings - and the Propylaea was one of them. A lovely example of historicism, this fake city gate...
