Munich Jermany

My Heart City

                       Munich,Jermany.

Münchner (residents of Munich) defy their distance from the ocean
by surfing on one of Munich's rivers.

When someone comes to visit Munich , the first place is to walk through the English Garden, stopping to see the Eisbach surfers and for a beer at the Chinese Tower biergarten. This short walk entails a glimpse into the charm of the city, while combining tradition, and nature with a bit of the unexpected. It’s no surprise that Munich is consistently ranked as having one of the best qualities of life worldwide.

  

MUC Munich - beer garden with Chinese Tower and blossomingchestnut trees in the middle of the English Garden

This is a wonderful beer garden with a mixture sunshine and shade. Located in the Englisher Garten, it is one of the three largest beer garden in Munich.

The traditional long tables are all self-service and there is a separate children’s play area set to one side.There is a huge variety of food on offer from hot meals to salads and snacks or maybe just a plate of fries or potato wedges. You can get Steckerlfisch; spit roasted half- chickens, crispy pork knuckles and bratwurst. There is also an a la carte restaurant.

The Best museum is difficult to choose in Jermany because we have so many great options in Germany, however the Deutsches Museum is the largest science museum in the world, so it’s certainly in a league of its own.

Servus Heimat or Obacht are the places to buy authentic, local souvenirs. As for tracht (traditional dirndls and lederhosen), I would recommend Angermaier. Locals appreciate when others take an interest in Bavarian culture and customs.

Obacht

You can see the city best from the top of the Alter Peter Church. Alternatively there is an incredible view from the top of the Olympic Tower. On a particularly clear day you may also hear locals mention the word “Föhn,” a weather phenomenon that brings warm weather, cloudless skies, and an even better view.

Saint Peter Church

 Basically, you pay 1 euro and you have access to climb to the very top of this church, and the view from the top is UNBELIEVABLE. On a clear day like it was that day, you can actually see The Alps. The view of the city was spectacular. If you don’t believe me, just see for yourself.

The Olympia Tower (Olympiaturm) is the tallest structure in Munich. Build between 1965 and 1968, the tower is located in Olympia Park, next to the Olympia Ice Center. It is the best place in Munich to get a birds-eye view of Munich and the surrounding area.

For a small cost, visitors can ride the elevator to the top at a speedy 7m/s, where they will arrive at the viewing platform 190m (623ft) above the ground below. If the weather is clear, it is possible to see all the way to the Alps, and to Germany's highest peak - the Zugspitze.

At the top Munich's highest restaurant, the Drehrestaurant, can be found. The restaurant itself makes a full 360 degree revolution every 53 minutes, giving visitors great views while they are enjoying their meals. A Rock and Roll museum housing various memorabilia from artists such as Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, Kiss, Sting, Queen and many more can also be found here.

Olympic park in Munich

Near the the Olympic park you can find the BMW plant. The tallest building in the form of four cylinders is a huge BMW museum (BMW World) that was opened in 1973. The museum is dedicated to BMW cars and motorcycles from the very first brand to prospective future models. You can visit the plant with a tour

Locals know to skip Höfbräuhaus and check out Augustiner instead. It is the oldest brewery in Munich and they take their craft very seriously, using their own maltery, water well, and energy-efficient natural gas. The brewery has even been designated a historical monument. Sometimes you can even smell the hops wafting through the air. You’ll likely have to visit if you want to try it straight from the wooden barrels.

  The best place to spend time outdoors in Munich city is along the Isar River                                                             

                                                 

The Isar River in Munich is very well known to the locals and when the sun pops out, people flock here to grill, sunbathe, swim, and hang out with friends.

Neuschwanstein Castle-King Ludwigs Fairy -Tale Castle in the apls

If anyone talks about a fairy-tale castle, he usually means Neuschwanstein. This castle, built from 1869 to 1886, with its breathtaking location and fantastic interior decorations is unique in the world – and an attraction for millions of visitors.

The best outdoor market in my city is Viktualienmarkt, although each neighborhood has its own weekly market for a more local glimpse into life. Viktualienmarkt was the place to find exotic spices and produce, the biggest array of cheeses, herbs, teas, locally made syrups and spirits, fresh meats, fish, fowl and flowers and lots of little restaurants, wine shops and food stalls tucked into every corner.

Cheeses From Britian

From weisswurst to falafel, there is something for everyone's palate here from many corners of the globe. For expats especially, it's a chance to buy a little taste of home. 

Turkish Candy

Bavarian Tea

White Asparagus Wine

Spices, Herbs and Nuts

To escape the crowds, I visit the Müller’sches Volksbad, which is an art nouveau pool unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It feels like you’re swimming in a museum

The dish that represents city best is a brotzeitplatte (a little bit of everything, including meats, cheeses, breads, and spreads, but very predictable and organized), and locally brewed beer is my city’s signature drink.

Muffathalle is the best place to see live music, but if you’re in the mood to dance, check out Crux.

In the spring you should visit the Auer Dult and Frühlingsfest

In the summer you should grill out at the Isar, visit as many biergartens as possible, take a bike ride through the English Garden (you can sunbathe nude in designated areas if you dare), and last, but not least, watch a movie under the stars.

In the fall you should go to the Street Life Festival and Oktoberfest

In the winter you should visit the Christmas markets and take a day trip down to the Alps to go sledding or skiing.

Lovely atmosphere and a variety of stalls. I was pleasantly surprised .
