"Munich, Christmas time" Munich by shivan

...and Andreas told me "Noo, it's not snowing too much...". Well, it could even be but having a walk outside is pretty hard while you can see nothing around. It wasn't too much cold, anyway (Rome was colder), and snow helped building a magical christmas atmosphere.
The drawback was that, after I got a lot of snow on top of my head (I lent my umbrella to a colleague), and then I ate one kilogram sausages, I spent my afternoon in bed at the hotel with my belly aching.
Munich, in this pre-christmas week, is always beautiful, even if my work travels don't allow me to see much (I'm not in holidays anyway).
I also came out in the evening for dinner and had another short walk, this is a thing to do I highly recommend because colours and atmosphere get even more magical.
I've been there twice, this year and back in 1995, always during december so I cannot say how Munich is during summer but I think that this kind of places are better in winter.
Enjoy my little trip report!

    Winter, spring or summer, Munich is always delightful. Great evening photo of the Rathaus!

    Very good impressions of Munich. Haven't seen the Christmas Market here yet. - I love Gluewein, just had a cup of it.
