Munich
Munich is an incredible city, full of history and beautiful sites. It is also very big, in two days you can see a bit of everything by ubering or using transport but it will be intense! Three days is the recommended and you can stop by the castles such as Neuschwanstein- Walt Disneys Sleeping Beauty castle inspiration, 2 hours away.
- Residenz Museum - Its an enormous museum you could spend a wholde day there but if you are fast at musuems you can do it in two hours easy, the most impressive in the antiquarium hall/Hall of Antiques
On the other side of Residenz there is:
-Hofgarten
-There are 3medieval town gates: karlstor, isartor, Sendlingerstr & Ruhmeshalle (where Oktoberfest is)
Start in Marienplatz,
-altes and neues Rathaus (there’s an elevator to top 2,5€), Where you can take a better picture than I did:
We didnt find the view from above anything special I wouldnt say it was worth it:
-Glockenspiel (at 11 and 12noon and 17 the figures will come out)
-Peterskirche,
-Frauenkirch (cathedral it also has take that the architect who has no money made a deal with the devil that he would not let in sunlight so to show he put up his end he let the devil in but as he did so the coluna that blocked the windows fell apart and the devil stamped his foot in anger forever leaving a mark) - Next to it is also a Michael Jackson Memorial very random but nice to see, it is simple a statue of someone (for google maps: Orlando di Lasso Statue) where people decided to leave photos of MJ and flowers for him
