Munich City Tour

Munich is the capital of the German state of Bavaria and a Gamma World City. There are, in fact, three locations in Bavaria known as "München" - the one referred to as "Munich", one northeast of Nuremberg, and one north of Passau. Munich is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps.

Munich is Germany's third largest city after Berlin and Hamburg. The city has a population of 1.35 million and the Munich Metropolitan Region is home to around 4,65 million people.

When the first time I was in Munich, it was in May. It was end of spring and the starting of summer day. The weather and temperature was 'not stable' as it would sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

I arrived the Munich airport around 10am in the morning, after taking a train to Derag hotel, it was around 11am. Right after checkin to the hotel, I followed my colleagues to have a city tour around Munich.



The first place we went of course was Marienplatz, it is the center of the whole city. Our tour will start from Marienplatz. It was so coincidence that when we arrived there, the tower clock was just starting to sound (it was 12pm sharp). It was crowded by people looking at the clock.

After that, we came to a tower, we walk up to have a look on the whole city view. It was really great to see the Munich view here.



After that, we took a walk around Marienplatz and Karlplatz. This was the first time I been to Europe, so everything was new to me, the lifestyle, people, buildings..... Because it was Sunday, all the shops were not opened, except restaurant. So, I was not able to visit or buy anything in any shops.



We came to the most famous beer garden in Munich, Hofbraushaus. It was a very typical beer garden in Germany, and it has the best beer in Munich. I didn't take any beer here at this time, but I did come again after that, and had 1 litre of weis beer. It was great, I love the beer here.
