I wanted to just stay there looking at the beautiful scenery around. The climate was very good during our visit and we enjoyed the outdoor experience of just walking around the lake soaking in the beauty of nature.

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.

This massive church is frequented visited by Catholic pilgrims.
Reviewed By gfrisch - San Antonio, United States
I visited this church on a rainy day in June.After passing through a grave yard a very old handcrafted door opens into the church.This is a Catholic Church,beautiful Wal paintings with a cupola painted and a Chrystal chandelier hanging down on a long chain.The seats are made of pine and you can tell they have been used for centuries.The altar is decorated in gold and silver and you can tell this is a very rich church.A very nice organ oversees the church and it powerful sound is nice to listen too.It is well worth it to take some time to visit this gem.

Very popular scenic park, more internaitonal than its name would suggest, it contains a Greek temple, Chinese pagoda and Japanese tea house.

A sunny Sunday was the perfect day for exploring this beautiful park Loved watching the surfers, strolling along the tree-lined avenues and lunch near the Chinese pagoda

I feel if you are able to visit Dachau while in Munich it's worth a visit. It's a very sobering experience to walk through the grounds of this facility and to learn more about the history that took place here. We took the train from Munich and then the bus from the train stop. It was easy to get there as well. Give yourself a few hours to get through the entire facility.

See Olympiapark, home of the 1972 Olympics. Tours include a roof climb, with ropes & carbiners and bungee jumping into the stadium.

Olympiapark was not so near the Nymphemburg Palace .To get there, we took the tram . On the way, we could see the beautiful autumn foliage . There were not many people in sight because maybe it was Sunday. Fortunately, we met a young couple who live nearby and were taking along their little boy and baby to play in the park and they showed us a short cut to the Olympic Tower. The park itself was quite big and it was interesting to visit as this is the place where Mark Spitz won his 7 Olympic medals in swimming in the 1972 Olympic Games .

The world's oldest brewery which combines tradition with high tech brewing. The State Brewery Weihenstephan is an independent profit-seeking enterprise owned by the Free State of Bavaria.

You can walk from Freising Bahnhof using Google Maps on your phone. I couldn't find the right bus from the station using broken German, maybe get a taxi, but it's only a 20-minute walk. The tour itself is pretty standard, they show you a few small areas where they brew the beer, but it is quite loud and hard to hear the guide even though they speak in English. They do give you a bit of history of the brewery, but you could find that online as well. You can book the tour online but they only accept cash, yet you can use credit card in the restaurant so I don't know why that is. There's a small tasting with 2 beers at the end, are there a lot of souvenirs you can buy also. Overall the tour is okay but not the best I've had. I came here for the beer and the restaurant, both of which were excellent. They only had 2 beers on tap but had plenty of different varieties in bottles, so I tried 5 different types I can't buy back at home, and they were all fantastic. The goulash was pretty amazing. The outdoor beer garden is very relaxing. That's basically why I gave it 5/5, the tour alone is probably a 3 or 4.
