  • It's easy to find. When you'll see lots of tourists looking up, that's where it is. The most important place in Marienplatz, and Munich, particularly for the clock. At 11h and at 17h it's the magic time. That's when the figures begin to move to the music of the clock.
    You can also go up to the tower to have a great view of the city. That's 2 Euros. If you don't like going up stairs you have no excuse, there's elevator.

  • The oldest parish church in Munich, 1158. As time went by some more constructions of diferent styles were added to it. This church is also very outstanding for its tower and the original shape of the vault of it. If you look at the tower you'll be able to count up to 8 clock faces! You can go up to the top of it. Bad news! There is no elevator, so take it easy! That's 1.5 euros to make some exercise.

  • One of the biggest baroque palaces in Germany which was built as a summer house for the royal family. Years after new pavilions have been added and nowadays it's almost one kilometre long!!!
    I didn't visited it inside but that's worth at least to go for a walk in the gardens, see the huge pond with the swans and feel for some time you're in the 17th century.

  • Other important symbol of Munich, with its two huge twin towers and the two green onion shape vaults. It's located in a very small and nice square.
    When you are at the main entrance look down to the floor. There is a footprint. It's said that it's devil's footprint.
    Go up to to tower, there is elevator. The price is 3 euros. Up there you can get some souvenirs.

  • This golden statue is located by the river Isar side, at the top of a very tall column. It's also an excuse to see the river.
    Angel of peace is very close to Englischer Garten, so don't miss it.

  • Take a walk in this beautiful park, next to the river. This is one of the biggest parks in the world. Visit the Monopteros from where you have a good view (it's like a small greek love temple), and the Chinese tower. Here is the biggest open air brewery of the city.

  • One of my favourite places in Munich. When you are here seems you are alone in the world, or in the middle of nowhere. It's so big! And with the greek temples! It's like if the time had stop. It's a very quiet place and the several times I visited it there was hardly none there.

  • I didn't visited it inside but I did outside. Very nice construction. If you see lots of tourists touching the lions outside don't think they're crazy, it's said it brings you good luck. I also was one of those who touched them!

  • One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen, both inside and outside. There are so many decorations in the façade! It's very narrow inside and because of the amount of sculpture and other decorations you think you're going to break something. Going down a stairs in the left side of the room you arrive to a kind of crypt.
    This church was built by two brothes to themselves (one was architect and the other painter) After some years they were obliged to open it for the public

     Still one of the best pages on Munich!

     Slight correction: the English Garden is THE largest municipal park in the world - and I think it's also the lovliest!
