MUNICH, GERMANY
MUNICH’S BAVARIAN SOUL
Munich, Germany anchors its central square of Marienplatz with the gothic stone facade of the Neues Rathaus, its musical Glockenspiel, and the nearby Old Town Hall and Toy Museum. Towering above the city grid are the landmark twin domes of the Frauenkirche, visible from high vantage points alongside Peterskirche and Heilig Geist Kirche. Religious and royal grandeur continues through the baroque Theatinerkirche and Feldherrnhalle in Odeonsplatz, the hidden, ornate details of the Asamkirche, and the manicured grounds of the Munich Residenz Hofgarten featuring the Dianatempel. Local flavor thrives on the ground at the bustling Viktualienmarkt and the shaded Augustiner-Keller Beer Garden. The regional portrait reaches into the rolling green countryside of Andechs to highlight its historic hilltop Monastery and Wallfahrtskirche.
