Munich hiking trail. How to spend one day in Munich, so that later it would not be painfully sorry. Then there are two route options

Munich, of course, is not as famous as, for example, Rome or Paris. But it is deservedly called the "secret capital of Germany." The successful location of the city at the intersection of trade routes, the rich markets of grain, salt, and other products of the rich land of Bavaria, gave good income to the rulers of this land. But I must say that for seven hundred years ruled Bavaria, the dukes, electors, kings of the Wittelsbach clan - the oldest ruling dynasty in Europe. The tradition of this dynasty was patronage of the arts. They spent significant funds on the construction of churches, palaces, architectural ensembles, parks, fountains, created art galleries, built theaters. Munich has been turned into the center of a wide variety of architectural styles. But this city is the capital of the Bavarians, who love good beer, sausages with stewed sauerkraut, and therefore only here could be born the one-of-a-kind festival “Oktoberfest”, celebrated for two hundred years. These beer lovers managed to create the automobile giant BMW, the Siemens electrical concern, the famous Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blom. The city is populated by a large army of students from the University of Munich, the Technical University, the Academy of Fine Arts, and the higher music school. The city has many museums in a wide variety of areas, from collections of ancient sculptures, art galleries to museums that popularly tell about the achievements of science and technology.

Yes there! We’ll better listen to a smart woman, who knows Germany like nobody else, Chancellor Angela Merkel: “If you don’t like Munich, then I don’t know where in Germany you would like to be.”

And this fateful city of sights you had the fate to inspect, get to know him in one day! Incredibly Challenging! We will try to help you.

What is the main attraction in the city without seeing which, it cannot be said that you saw Munich? Well, of course, this is Marienplatz.

Getting to the square is easy. You can come to the Marienplatz S-bahn or U-bahn station and go upstairs to the paving stones of the square. But it’s best to come to Karlsplatz (Stachus), and from there walk on foot, unhurriedly along the pedestrian Kaufingerstraße street.

So, at 9.00 o’clock. You arrive at the S-bahn or U-bahn station “Karlsplatz (Stachus)” and go up. Leaving the station, you first find yourself in a large underpass under the square. Here you will find many shops, cafes, Eingang in a large grocery store, in the multi-storey department store "C&A" and "Karlschtad".

We leave to the sun, up. Before us is a large area. Trams ring, approaching a large stop, cars rush towards the wide Sonnenstraße. On the opposite side of the square stands a huge beautiful palace - the Bavarian Palace of Justice. And on this side - the buildings in a semicircle converge to the Karlstor fortress gate. In winter, an ice rink and temporary cafes are organized in the center of this semicircle, where you can warm yourself with wonderful hot mulled wine, having a bite of fried sausages.

One day in Munich. Karlstor Gate and the beginning of the Neuhauserstraße.

Immediately behind the gates there is a pedestrian zone, Neuhauserstraße street, smoothly passing into Kaufingerstraße. There you have to go. On the left you will see the Brunnenbuberl fountain, depicting a satyr and a boy.

Take your time walking along the paved street. The buildings on the right and left - a lot of shops, souvenir shops. On the left you will see a massive building of light ocher color - the Old Academy. Nearby is the fountain "Richard Strauss" in the form of an antique column. The neighboring building is the Jesuit Church of St. Michael. This is the largest Renaissance temple built at the end of the 16th century. Go to church for a few minutes, just admire the interior, sit in silence on a bench, if you're lucky, listen to a magnificent organ. Often in the evening, after the service, when the church is empty, the organist rehearses, playing several classic organ works.

Having a rest, do not forget to notice on the right side of the street, almost opposite the church, a sign and a picturesque facade of one of Munich's most famous beer halls “Augustinerbraeu”, known since 1328. Here you can enjoy a wonderful Bavarian beer, sitting on simple wooden benches at a long table in the company of regulars, beer lovers, white sausages, pleasant conversation and songs of the Bavarian highlanders. And you can, having comfortably settled down at a small table in a quiet corner of a large, brightly decorated restaurant hall, have an excellent lunch or dinner, having tasted Bavarian culinary specialties, washed down with the same beer.

But you only have one day and you still have to see so much! You go further and see a bronze boar on the left with a pigment rubbed to a shine. A wild boar stands at the entrance to the Museum of Hunting and Fishing, and tourists who want to visit Munich again rubbed a piglet.

Walking a little forward, you notice two huge towers with onions at the top behind the lane on the left. These are the towers of the Frauenkirche, the main symbol of the city and the main church of Catholic Bavaria. Be sure to go to this church, built in the late Gothic style in 1468 - 1488. In its huge hall, 10 thousand people can accommodate at the same time.

You return to Kaufingerstrasse, pass by the huge buildings of famous shops and here it is - Marienplatz - the main square of the city, the square with which it once began.

You could have gone all the way from Karlsplatz to Marienplatz in half an hour, but if you took our advice and went to church, and if, even yielding to temptation, visited at least one of the huge stores, then you spent at least three hours on the way.
  From ancient times until the beginning of the 19th century, there was a market on Marienplatz where grain, salt were traded. In the middle of the square there is a marble column with a golden sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding a child in her arms. This column, installed in the XVII century on the occasion of the end of the plague and war (Thirty), and gave the name of the square. This is the most crowded square in Munich. Here, in antiquity, holidays were held, knightly tournaments, weddings of rulers. And nowadays, concerts of various musical groups are often held on the square.

On the north side, the square is bounded by the facade of the New Town Hall, decorated with figures of the Bavarian knights, dukes, kings, saints. The length of the facade is one hundred meters. On the high central tower of the Town Hall, the famous Glockenspiel clock is installed, with the battle of which the windows open, music plays and a whole performance is given. At the very top of the tower is the figure of a little nun, Münchner Kindl, holding the gospel in his left hand and blessing Munich with his right hand. This is the emblem of the city, you could see it on the trains U-bahn, S-bahn, on trams.
  The name of the city comes from the name of the first settlement of Villa Münichen - the village of monks. This village was located next to the place where St. Peter's Church stands - the oldest parish church in the city. The height of the bell tower of Old Peter, located next to Marienplatz, is 92 meters, and at an altitude of 56 meters there is a viewing platform. To get on it, you need to overcome 306 steps. But you will see such a magnificent picture that you will not regret the effort expended.

Going around in a circle, you will see the whole city, its red roofs, cathedrals, parks, palaces and squares. In the southern direction, in sunny weather, the snow-capped peaks of the Bavarian Alps are clearly visible and among them is the highest mountain of Germany Zugspitze (2962 meters).
  Once again admiring the top view of the Marienplatz, you descend from the bell tower of St. Peter. Another two hours passed.

So, you are hungry, and ready to eat a whole pan of fried sausages with stewed sauerkraut, washed down with a liter Bayer Weißbier mug. Near the square there are many cafes and restaurants. Go into the courtyard of the Town Hall and you will see there the steps leading to the hall of a fine restaurant.

Have you had lunch? And just an hour spent on this charitable cause.

We went back to Marienplatz and admired the Fischbrunnen fountain (Fish Fountain), erected on this site in 1865.

On the eastern side of the square is the Gothic building of the Old Town Hall, built in 1470 - 1474. Now here is the Toy Museum.

Nearby, on Burgstraße, one of the oldest surviving buildings, the building of the former City Chancellery. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived for some time in neighboring house No. 6 in 1780. Another hour passed.

So you met with Marienplatz and the sights located next to it, spending seven hours with lunch on it. But you still have free time from work, and you can continue to get acquainted with the wonderful objects of Munich. Not yet evening!

So, 4 p.m. and you are full of energy to continue your journey through the very center of Munich and its long, eventful history. Walk to the right of the New Town Hall along Dienerstraße. You will be taken to the Max-Joseph-Platz square, in the middle of which there is a monument to the first king of Bavaria, Maximilian I Joseph. A huge complex of buildings of the Residence, the residence of the Bavarian electors and kings of the Wittelsbach dynasty until 1918, will open right in front of you. Inspection of the numerous halls of the Residence and the works of art collected in it usually takes several hours, let’s leave this lesson for the next visit to Munich (you rubbed a patch of bronze boar).

To the right, behind the monument, is the building of the National Theater (Bavarian State Opera), reminiscent of the Russian Bolshoi Theater, even the number of columns is 8. The music began to sound in the theater building on January 2, 1825. Over the past time, the theater underwent reconstruction, the orchestra pit deepened, the stage expanded, equipment was updated. In October 1943, the theater was almost destroyed during the aerial bombardment of the Allies. After the war, the townspeople decided to restore the old theater, despite the fact that the construction of a new one would have been much cheaper. Architect Gerhard Moritz Grauber recreated the neoclassical theater building designed in the 19th century with a capacity of 2100 people. Construction lasted from 1958 to 1963 and cost 62 million marks, the then currency of Germany. On November 22, 1963, the new theater building was opened with the production of Wagner’s opera Nuremberg Mastersingers. This is one of the best opera scenes in the world, a home venue for the Bavarian State Opera and the Bavarian State Ballet. Currently, the duties of the chief conductor of the Bavarian opera are performed by a native of Omsk, Kirill Petrenko.

Passing Max-Joseph-Platz, you continue along Residenzstraße along the wall of the State Museum of Egyptian Art, which is part of the Residence complex, and you come to a large square - Odeonsplatz. Immediately behind it you can see the straight, like an arrow, stretching into the distance, Ludwigstraße street.

Odeonsplatz, one of the central squares of Munich, is famous not for ancient stones, such as Marienplatz, but for its architecture and events that took place on it in the turbulent XX century. Just a list of buildings overlooking this area takes up a lot of space. Each has its own interesting history, famous architects worked a lot on the design and construction of each: the Teatinerkirche, the Residence, the gate and wall of the Hofgarten, the Praising palace, the Bazaar building, and of course the “Feldherrhalle” - Gallery of the generals, located at the head of the square.

She copies the Loggia Lanzi in Florence. The Gallery features bronze cast figures of guns captured in battles of illustrious military leaders: Johann Tserklas, Count von Tilly, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army in the Thirty Years' War (XVII century), and Karl-Philip von Wrede, Prince, Generalissimo of the Bavarian Troops, 12 years, and then in the liberation campaign against Napoleon. Between them there is a sculpture glorifying the victories of the Bavarian corps during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of King Ludwig I (August 25, 1886, during the reign of his third son, Prince Regent Luitpold), two flagpoles with the emblems of Bavaria and Munich were erected in front of the gallery. On one flagpole they wrote “Fair and Persistent King Ludwig I of Bavaria”, on the other - “From Faithful Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria”.

In 1906, during the celebration of the 120th anniversary of King Ludwig I, two lions were installed on the sides of the stairs, representing the power of Bavaria. The difference between the two is that the mouth of the right lion is closed, and that of the left is open. The image of a lion is very popular in Bavaria and is used on any coat of arms, signs and so on.

After the First World War, which tragically ended for Germany, a memorial plate was installed in the gallery, on which it says: “In the World War 1914/18. 1,400,000 Bavarians fought shoulder to shoulder with the German brothers for lasting peace and freedom. 200,000 died for the fatherland. The Bavarian leaders of the German and Union armies were: Field Marshal Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, Field Marshal Prince Leopold of Bavaria, Colonel General Felix Count Botmer. " The first two are from the Wittelsbach family, the third is the nephew of Eleanor Tyutcheva, the wife of Fedor Ivanovich Tyutchev.

The singer of Russian and Bavarian nature lived in Munich from 1822 to 1844, serving in the Russian diplomatic mission under the Bavarian crown.

Near the Gallery of Leaders, at the mouth of Residenzstraße, in 1923 there were tragic events called the “beer coup” by the Nazis. Trying to arrange a campaign against Berlin in order to seize power in Germany, on November 8, 1923, on the fifth anniversary of the revolution in Germany, in the huge hall of the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall (Bürgerbräukeller, Rosenheimerstrasse, 15), where a large number of Bavarian politicians gathered, the Nazis started a coup. Hitler, waving a pistol, said that the Bavarian government was deposed, his party was going to form a new government of the Reich. The building was surrounded by Nazi militants armed with machine guns. Their supporters managed to capture the War Department.

The next morning, the Nazis began a march around the city, counting on the support of the garrison soldiers. Among the leaders of the Nazis was General Ludendorff, who enjoyed authority among the lower ranks, who was considered a war hero.

From Isartor they marched to Marienplatz, met a police cordon, which missed them. Then they moved along the Rezidenzstraße to the "Gallery of Leaders". A small detachment of police blocked their path.

The putschists were the first to shoot, the police responded. General Ludendorff was arrested, Hitler was saved by followers, 16 putschists and three policemen remained lying on the pavement.

After 1933, the Nazis arranged on the right wall of the Gallery, on the Rezidenzstrasse side, their memorial: a plaque with a story about this “beer coup”, the names of the dead “heroes”, an eagle holding a swastika. Every year they held rallies in the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall, marches along the same route, rallies near the memorial.

In the space of the square in front of the Gallery, the Nazis held military parades, rallies, ceremonies. The propaganda machine worked at full capacity and used any clue to prove its legitimacy, the regularity of the appearance in the history of the people, the continuity of the spirit of ancestors.

The Nazi memorial was destroyed by the Americans who occupied Munich.

After the war, in the fifties, a slab with the inscription was made into the pavement in front of the Gallery: “To the soldiers of the Bavarian land police, whose stake against the National Socialist putsch was 11/11/1923 their life: Friedrich Link, Nikolaus Hollweg, Max Schraut.”
  Having walked as a whole a short distance from Karlsplatz to Marienplatz and further to Odeonsplstz, you got acquainted with Munich, the events of its history, and its architecture. About nine hours have passed since the beginning of your leisurely journey.

We did not tell you about all the objects encountered on the route and not as detailed as we would like. You can stroll through the neighboring Wittelsbacherplatz, Promenadeplatz, Karolinenplatz, Königsplatz. Each has its own history, its own architecture. Events connected with the political and cultural history of Bavaria and Germany took place on these squares.

But you are already full of impressions and new knowledge. Near the Hofgarten fence you see a blue “U” sign. This is the U-bahn Odeonsplatz Station. Feel free to descend into the underworld of the city and go on vacation.

Munich's past, great and joyful, tragic and inglorious, full of significant and fatal events, embodied in the unique appearance of the city: in its streets, squares and buildings, squares and parks. There are so many unusual and surprising things that you need to make a choice in advance if you try to see all the interesting places.

One of the main tourist sites of the city, which thousands of visitors seek to see the architectural structure of amazing beauty and the highest historical value. In fact, this is a huge palace and park complex, which includes a galaxy of magnificent buildings; picturesque alleys, lawns, various ponds and a botanical garden. Spreading its possessions on hundreds of hectares, the complex for wealth and luxury of decoration can be called the German Versailles.

Interior

Interior and exterior decoration of the main palace is a symbol of brilliance, luxury and splendor. Everything here is striking in the scope of incredible wealth, from the front doors to the last exhibits of the inspection. The majestic architecture of the exterior decoration with beauty and splendor echoes the luxurious splendor of the interior decoration of palace rooms and front rooms.

The main premises of the palace - served as a venue for official receptions, festive balls and other court entertainment. The decoration of the walls and ceilings of the hall in the style of the Bavarian Rococo amazes the imagination with the elegance of stucco molding and the unusually lively beauty of the frescoes made by the best German painters of the 17th century.

The Gallery of Beauties, created on the initiative of King Ludwig I, who was reputed to be a ladies man, is a kind of collection of portraits of Bavarian beauties of different classes. The images of 36 ladies were captured by the famous court painter of the 19th century Karl Stieler, who began work on the next image after the personal choice of the king. Owners of charming female images had different social status: representatives of royal blood coexist here with a dancer from the shoemaker's family - Lola Montes.

This passionate adventurer, whom Ludwig was fond of, can be compared in terms of cunning and deft blackmail to the famous Mata Hari. Lola was honored to become the prototype of the heroine of the famous Conandoil story "Scandal in Bohemia."

Crew Museum

The museum of carriages, located in the former palace stables, is a unique collection of luxurious outbound carriages, fiacres, phaetons, and sleighs. Each of the instances presented here is a real work of carriage art in Bavaria: the extraordinary grace of the lines combined with the rich luxury of decoration is genuine admiration. To inspect the entire complex, you need to devote more than one day to this.

German Museum

This is the largest museum of technology and science, where exhibits are collected, which are real scientific treasures of technological progress in different areas. In the grand repository located on the island of Museums, there are rarities of inventions of engineering minds: a car engine, dynamo, a submarine, a radio and many other legendary exhibits that have advanced the progress of civilization.

Marienplatz Square

A one-day excursion to Munich includes a visit to its main square Marienplatz, named after the eponymous column, erected in 1638 in honor of the divine righteous.

Prior to this, all kinds of medieval fairs, auctions were held at Schrannenplatz (as the square was called before), knight tournaments were organized. The modern square is a cult tourist attraction where crowds come to see two shrines.

Old and New Town Halls

These architectural "sisters" - true masterpieces of Gothic architecture, are so enchanted by their unique beauty that it is impossible to admire their attractive appearance. The “oldest” of them, the Old Town Hall, ascended its pointed dome in 1480 in the eastern part of the square, invariably delighting everyone for many centuries. The “wounds” inflicted by the famous Catholic shrine by the war were “healed” by a thorough restoration, and now this beautiful building still looks fresh and attractive.

The New Town Hall, a magnificent neo-Gothic style architectural monument, was built in 1909 at the behest of Ludwig I in the opposite part of Marienplatz. The majestic tower with a height of 85 meters is the main architectural decoration of the old square. Its unusual multi-stage domes delight with the filigree grace of decoration, which is associated with skillfully executed lace ligature. A unique creation of design art is a clock placed on the central facade: 32 figures accompanied by chimes illustrate episodes of the medieval life of citizens; 43 bells announce the beginning of the next hour. Here you can sit or stand for a long time, admiring the true masterpieces of architecture and gain strength to explore the following attractions.

Heidenhausen

You can see the delights of modern Munich if you visit the beautiful district of the city - Heidenhausen, located south of the old part of the Bavarian capital. Here the lovely old mansions and fashionable buildings in hi-tech style from glass and concrete coexist beautifully; cozy squares and small squares with picturesque fountains are adjacent to the objects of modern infrastructure. This area can be compared with the Montmartre in Paris: creative bohemians gather in numerous clubs, bars, cafes; The multi-genre music of discos is spread.

Another favorite place in Munich for many is the Olympic Park, which was arranged in memory of the victims of the 1972 Olympics. The 11 best athletes in Israel were then brutally murdered by representatives of the Palestinian terrorist organization. Created for a sad reason, the park has become the most ambitious complex of sports miraculous structures and causes everyone only positive emotions.

Against the background of an excellent water stadium, the original roof stands in the form of a huge tent made of plexiglass from a sports stadium. The formerly renowned Bayern Munich football team trained on it. Chic velodrome allows you to conduct training and competitions on excellent tracks. There is a wonderful year-round skating rink where you can show off the ability to stand skating for everyone.

The Olympic Tower is amazing for its extraordinary height (290 meters) and its amazing infrastructure. Having climbed it, you can see stunning views of the thousand-year-old Munich with its incredible beauties of the past and present. An elegant building towering over the city - a symbolic object of the 1972 Olympics - can be safely called a masterpiece of high-rise construction.

Karlsplatz and Charles Gate

The square named after Elector Karl Theodor is one of the most authentic places in the Bavarian land, where the great history of its development from the Middle Ages to the present day has been embodied. Among the locals there is a second, unofficial name for the square - “Stachus” in honor of the old beer pub located on it - the beloved corner of many Munich. The area surrounded by magnificent buildings is always filled with people. Many come here to admire the magnificent fountain located in the center, relax near the crystal jets that carry coolness. Karlsplatz is the heart of the tramway interchange with which you can take the tram to any end of the city.

A truly unique architectural monument of fortification (13-14 c.) - Charles Gate (renamed in honor of Charles in 1791) Repeatedly destroyed, reconstructed Charles Gate remains a symbol of the power and grandeur of one of the most expensive and highly developed cities in Germany. The majesty of the ancient gate, the solemn beauty of the entire grandiose structure, successful designer jewelry are undoubted signs of an architectural masterpiece.

Marienhof

A peculiar green oasis with velvety grass, surrounded by tight rows of trees - the amazing Marienhof square. A place of serene relaxation for citizens and tourists, a cozy island of silence among the urban noise. In warm times, you can lie on the grass carpet, sunbathe, read and just relax after a hard day. Archaeological excavations carried out in one of the plots of the square have revealed traces of early settlements (before the founding of the city).

Marienhof Square has been the subject of historical research. Named in memory of the first Munich synagogue Marienhof, the square captures the history of Jews hiding from the brutal pogroms occurring in Europe in the early Middle Ages. They erected a synagogue here, in which they hid from punishing death. This is probably why the green space of Sq. The Marienhof was left undeveloped as a symbol of rebirth and eternity.

Victualienmarkt Market

Bavaria is known all over the world for its gastronomic delights and breweries, the famous Oktoberfest holiday, which is why it is not by chance that Munich has a symbol of the diverse abundance of everything edible - the Viktualienmarkt market. The bright palette of shelves bursting with delicious delicacies, vegetables and fruits impresses with its assortment of the most sophisticated buyers.

There are three ways to get to Munich from Russia, for example, from Moscow:

1. By private car you can drive in 30-35 hours, having covered 2700 km.
2. There are no direct railway connections, therefore, travelers traveling by rail will have a transplant in one of the cities of Europe.
3. On a plane from Moscow, the flight time is just over three hours; flights to Aeroflot, Lufthansa, S7, AirBerlin, Germanwings and some other airlines fly to Munich.

Since time in our case was limited, we naturally chose the third option. We booked online flights to the Munich Strauss Airport and went on our short trip. (By the way, the cheapest plane tickets to Munich can be bought from November to January!) In detail, on how to fly, how to get from the airport to the city, etc. We will not stop - all the necessary information about this is on the Russian-language website about the airport in Munich. Flight schedules, terminal schemes, hotels and transfers to the city - everything is painted in Russian.

More precisely, there are two routes S1 and S8 - both go to the city center. A ticket cost 12 euros per person. You could also get on a company bus from Lufthansa, take a taxi or rent a car.

Munich sights and bus tour in Russian

Munich has a lot of attractions, one of which is the central square - Marienplatz. A huge number of restaurants, shops, souvenir tents and shops are gathered here, all kinds of street performances and concerts are held. The main holidays are held at Marienplatz. Not a single tourist visiting Munich will pass this square.

Marienplatz Square

Here you are at Marienplatz, and you will certainly be here to see the main sights of Munich - the Old and New Town Halls. The new Town Hall strikes the gaze both inside and out; you will need a lot of time to examine this object. On the facade of a hundred-meter building, you will see significant personalities in the history of the city, the faces of saints, masks and grimaces. Famous clock with a fight - located on a tower in the central part of the New Town Hall. You can hear them fighting when you come here at 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. year-round. At the same time on two tiers of the tower, you can see puppet shows.

Hop-on hop-off bus tour

As in many cities in Europe, special tourist buses run in Munich, the so-called Touristic bus (in German they are called Stadtrundfahrt). These are buses operating on the hop-on hop-off system (in our opinion, something went in and out). Their essence is that they go along several routes. Having bought the appropriate ticket, you can ride the tourist route all day, getting off at the stops you need and then catch any of the tourist buses again. During the trip, the guide will tell about passing attractions. Also, you can use the radio guide in Russian.

Today we will walk around Munich and you will find out what sights you can see in the city in one day. I want to warn you right away: you will need 3 days to examine the city in detail. If you want to see only the old part of the city, then you will have enough 3 hours of quick walking.

First, I’ll give you some facts about Munich.

Walking in Munich

Our walk begins with main Station (München Hbf), most tourists come here, because even if you flew to Munich by plane, it is most convenient to go to the main station. You can start the walk from metro stations Karlsplatzor MarienplatzThey are located in the very center of the city. We leave the station and find ourselves on a pedestrian street Schützenstraße, go through it and move towards the street Neuhauser straßewhere is the square Karlsplatz. On the map you can see our entire route.

Karlsplatz  - This is a large square in the historic center of Munich, named after the popular Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria. In the middle of the square is a large fountain. Part of the square is surrounded by semicircular buildings, between which you will see an ancient gate Karlstorthat lead to the old part of the city, and on which you will find the characters of the folklore of the city. The palace of justice is right there Justizpalast  and church Bürgersaalkirche. Behind the palace of justice is the old botanical garden Alter botanischer garten.

Keep moving along the pedestrian street Neuhauser straße, where there are many shops with Bavarian paraphernalia, souvenirs, delicacies, expensive clothes and food. All the buildings on the street are decorated with bas-reliefs, sculptural groups, and tourists are entertained by street musicians and actors. On this street you will see funny sculptures of wild boar and catfish.

Walking along the Neuhauser Straße, you will definitely see a beautiful building - this is the Frauenkirche or the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Frauenkirche), which is one of the symbols of the city and the tallest cathedral in Munich (99 meters). The cathedral contains a black marble sarcophagus of Emperor Ludwig IV of Bavaria. Rumor has it that the devil himself left a mark on the veranda of the cathedral. Near the cathedral is the square Promenadeplatzdecorated with statues. Frauenkirche Address: München, Frauenplatz 12

Marienplatz Square, here is the visiting card of Munich and a real tourist magnet - New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus). The town council sits at the town hall. In summer and spring, the town hall is decorated with fresh flowers, in winter, a Christmas tree is placed next to it and Christmas markets are broken. It is a traditional city center. At the Town Hall, you will certainly be interested in a watch with 43 bells and 32 figures in human height. Every day at 11.00 the figures show a 15-minute performance (in the summer, the show can be seen at 11.00, 12.00, 17.00).

A few steps from the New Town Hall is Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus), which was built in the 14th century. Both town halls are made in neo-Gothic style. Goebbels' famous speech in 1938 was preceded in the Old Town Hall building, preceding the so-called crystal night, when mass pogroms of shops and shops owned by Jews and synagogues took place.

After inspecting the town hall, we move along the street Burgstraßeto the national theater and opera (Bayerische Staatsoper). You can, of course, look into the famous beer house, but it is better to postpone the visit to the beer house in the evening, when it is fun and interesting there and you can taste all sorts of beer.))

So our walk continues, and we go out to the theaters Maximilianstraße. Maximilianstraße is famous for its chic boutiques and designer shops. Here the most expensive rental stores in all of Germany, but the boutiques Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel, Escada, Hugo Boss, Gucci, Gianfranco Ferre, Bulgari does not bother. On the same street are the most expensive and best hotels in Munich, for example, Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten (under this link you can book a hotel, prices will be lower than those of Booking, which takes large commissions).

Next, inspect the area   Odeonsplatz. In the square you will see the Leuchtenberg Palace and the equestrian monument to King Ludwig I. The most magnificent building of the square is Theatinerkirche. This church is built in the style of Italian Baroque. In the church you will see the next tombs, this time members of the Wittelsbach dynasty. But most striking is the stunning facade with twin towers and marble statues of saints. Pay attention to the hall of the Bavarian commanders Feldherrnhalle (Feldherrnhalle) - this is a loggia in the southern part of the square.

Near Odeonsplatz park Hofgartenwhich is decorated with arched galleries, a gazebo and fountains. In general, Munich is famous for its parks and gardens, not far away you will find one of the largest parks in Europe - English Garden (Englischen Garten). This park has summer pubs, a Japanese tea tree, a Chinese tower, over 100 bridges, a waterfall and many places for entertainment and picnics. Another large park is spread out on the banks of the Isar River and is called Maximiliansanlagen.

If you go north from Odeonsplatz along Ludwigstraße, you will see Victory Gate (Siegestor)  Is a triumphal arch adorned by Quadrig with lions.

Do you still have strength after such an intense walk? Then you can take a walk to Königsplatz. This is a square in the center of Munich, where the main art galleries, Old Pinakothek, New Pinakothek and Pinakothek of modern art are concentrated, therefore this area is called the "Art Quarter". Area attractions include Villa Lenbach, museums, and the University of Technology.

But I would advise going to technical museums, for example, to the grand bMW Museum  or in German Museum (Deutsches Museum), you will not see such museums anywhere in the world. The German Museum is the largest museum of natural science and technology in the world! BMW Museum is located next to the Olympic Park.

Olympic Park (The Olympic Park) - This is a park that was built for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Previously, there was a training ground for the local army. Now it is a great park for relaxing and holding concerts and cultural events. You will surely like the futuristic buildings of the park, especially its dominants - the 290-meter television tower, which you can climb to look at the city, take panoramic photos or eat in a revolving restaurant. Address: München, Spiridon-Louis-Ring 21. By the way, right next to the BMW Museum. BMW Museum address: München, Am Olympiapark 2, entry fee: € 10.

But one day for a walk in Munich is very small, especially for visiting museums or tasting real German beer in the shadow of chestnuts. So, if you plan to see Bavaria and Munich in full, then buy tickets and go to Munich for at least a week, because this city and region are worth it. By the way, if you want to see the above attractions with a professional guide, I advise you to read the article ““, from which you will learn about the best company organizing tours of Munich and Bavaria.

You can also explore the city with the guide “Munich in 1 Day”. The guide includes the optimal passage of the main attractions and interesting places, tags on an offline map with navigation and a route, tags with the best restaurants and cafes, facts about attractions and a description of public transport. This solution is suitable for independent travelers who want to see in the city for a maximum of 1 day.

After my October blitz trip, I can say with confidence: Munich is one of the best destinations for weekend tours. Such trips are good in their own way: there is no need to spend vacation days, this is a great opportunity to get a million vivid impressions right in the middle of everyday life, besides it’s very important in view of a deflated ruble - spending on a short two-day trip is minimized (it took me 8 thousand rubles over the weekend from strength, including hotel and transport, another 10 thousand - Aeroflot tickets).

The previous three parts of the story about my trip to Bavaria were more directed to the suburbs of Munich. Today I suggest you go for a walk around the city itself.

Munich is one of the largest cities in Germany, to some extent the business capital of the state. A large number of central offices of large companies are concentrated here, significant political, social and economic events of a global scale are regularly held. The population of the main city of Bavaria is slightly less than one and a half million - quite a bit by our standards, but judging by Europe, Munich is a real metropolis.

The city really feels large-scale - serious distances, you can walk endlessly in the center. However, there are no skyscrapers in Munich, the city is mainly three- and four-story, very green. This gives a sense of coziness and comfort, chamberliness, I would say. It seems like a cultural center, there is almost everything, but you don’t feel like a grain of sand in the ocean, concrete blocks do not crush from above, moreover. Munich miraculously combined ancient architecture, which retained the imprint of global historical events, and the splendor of the glass facades of new buildings, demonstrating an excellent example of modern urbanism.

Today we will take a good walk around Munich: we will admire both the historical quarters and the new ones, once again we will see that the capital of Bavaria is a vivid example of a successful and interesting European city where spending a weekend is a real pleasure.

1. My walk began at the walls Meninger Hostel München  at eight in the morning. When you arrive in a new city for you for only two days, the last thing you want to spend time and money on is a hotel. Initially, I booked myself two nights, in fact spent only one of them. In the hotel I was only those 11 hours that I regained my strength (I had to catch up on the first sleepless night). Early in the morning, as soon as I woke up, I immediately packed up my things and hit the road.

2. Of course, after the Radissons, the bunk in the room for six seemed discouraged, but when compared with other hostels, it was very personal. The shower and toilet were inside the room - to share these benefits of civilization with five neighbors is much better than with the whole floor, as is usually the case. The hostel was stylish, fairly clean and quiet (although maybe someone was making noise - I completely passed out, barely getting to the bed). Two nights cost me 60 euros.

3. The hostel itself did not have anything interesting - only some red brick buildings resembling the ancient buildings of factories or warehouses. But it was worth a hundred meters to go towards the railway station - it was much livelier there.

4. Business complex with a bridge - ground crossing. The bridge flowed very organically into the pedestrian street between the new buildings - just like on the other side. From the side it looked amazing.

5. I could not resist, and he climbed onto the bridge. This is a view of the street that leads to the central train station. If you go back along it - in the direction that you don’t see now - very soon you will go to the hostel in which I stayed.

6. The view from the bridge towards the buildings of the business center. Mrrrr, I love this architecture! Did someone possibly have associations with? :)

7. A pedestrian path leads to the street with an older, I would say classic Munich building.

8. Beautiful, old bridge. Like many cities in Germany, Munich was badly damaged during the bombing of World War II. Nevertheless, here and there, ancient artifacts (I don’t know whether they have been restored or really survived) are found. I can’t pretend to say, but the bridge also looks like something built before the war.

9. The bridge leads through railways to a completely new, newly built area. See - it borders with the railway on the right, going substantially far along it?

10. Once you reach the opposite end of the bridge, you find yourself in the middle of all this splendor of modern architecture.

11. Here, at the same time, both the headquarters of some companies and residential complexes.

12. The level of arrangement is cosmic. Near the houses - neat green lawns, trees, lanterns, bike parking, and tile on the sidewalks seems to be perfect.

13. I decide to go around the complex on the outside, and a little later look inside.

14. In the facades of many houses there are passages to the patio. I look inside with interest. The first association is a new, reborn version of the St. Petersburg courtyards-wells :)

15. On Sunday early morning there are almost no people on the streets, so no one bothers me enjoying the privacy and one-on-one dialogue with brilliant Munich.

16. After passing a quarter or something, I still turn inside the new district. There, it seemed to me, there should be even more all sorts of beauties and interesting things. Indeed, pleasant places are not long in coming. Here is a wonderful courtyard by an apartment building. Alas, I have never read textbooks on contemporary urban studies, but, I dare to suggest, everything is done in the best traditions and strict compliance here - it is so perceived harmoniously, comfortably.

17. On the territory of the complex of pedestrian paths, squares and squares there are much more than parking places and cars. The entire infrastructure is aimed primarily at people, the car is not even in second place, and this is very noticeable. The sensations are completely different. What a thrill - to go forward without thinking that they might bring you down, without looking around at constant intersections. Most often, we do not focus on this problem, abandoning it, disguising it and hiding it deeper in the subconscious. Nevertheless, it is, and it strongly affects self-awareness.

18. No, so you do not think, there are roads for cars here. But they are narrow and hidden on the sides - not as noticeable as the pedestrian infrastructure.

19. Another beautiful view.

20. In the middle of the new district - a giant rectangle of a recreation area - without buildings and cars. There are impressive playgrounds, places for sports, jogging, simple walks.

21. In Munich, the weather was just wonderful! The sun is warm (in the afternoon I will have to try for a long time to put all the sweaters and sweaters in a small bag - because in anything other than a T-shirt, well, the maximum of a light jacket, it was hot), everything around is green ...

22. The fact that it was almost late autumn on the street on October 19 was not felt at all! But when I was just starting out on a trip, Moscow escorted me with a strong dank wind, snowfall and sickening dullness, which had been established in the Russian capital for a week, and has been still going on!

23. Another beautiful view.

24. Traditionally, Europeans use their balconies as a great place to relax - they have umbrellas, sun loungers and many, many flowers :)

25. In some places, the greenery of the surrounding streets still turns into autumn gold. It's time, November is coming :)

26. In this corner of the city district there are more and more offices of large companies.

27. I went through the new district completely - in total, it is spread over a kilometer, or maybe even two. We take a last look back and go further. The impressions of this new corner of Munich are, of course, amazing.

28. The complex of new buildings rests on the flyover, climbing which offers a wonderful view of a hefty store Mercedes Benz. Munich is the birthplace of the famous automobile concern. By the way, in front of you in the photo is not an office, but a store. If you take a closer look, you will notice that dozens, if not hundreds of models of the famous brand are installed behind the glass. At night, they are all highlighted, and it looks from the outside just incredible. It’s a pity, I didn’t see it with my own eyes.

29. After the Mercedes store, I find myself in the usual quiet Munich area, which is especially comfortable and pleasant to walk around.

30. True, even here one has to tirelessly turn one's head to the sides - in attempts not to miss a single detail. But there are many of them, yes.

31. From the large, cozy street, small, even more cozy alleys diverge on either side. It seems that locals live in an idyll, or something extremely close to this :)

32. The interchanges are buried in verdure, which is why the presence of cars is completely imperceptible. There is no feeling that you are walking in the city of one and a half million megalopolis.

33. You notice only these cozy, semi-desert alleys, drowning in the gentle morning rays of the sun.

34. I go further, wandering along the streets and alleys, and do not stop even for a moment to find something interesting in the world around me. A charming ice cream shop on the corner, lazily opening his small office desk clerk, an old Ford parked on the sidewalk - as if new, in excellent condition - it seems that time has come back ...

35. There are still few people, but shops and restaurants are already operating. I decide to go to McDonald's nearby and have a little refreshment - to walk for a very long time.

36. I continue to move on - towards my next goal. The area that I got into seems to be arranged like an oasis of peace and quiet in the center of Munich. Streets are becoming more comfortable, greens are becoming more and more, peace with every step is only increasing.

37. And this lane is generally as if from fairy tales. How much Germany grew and rebuilt after the main tragedy of the past century! Of course, this is a real miracle! Which could only be done by those people who truly love their country and want the blessings of their children.

38. Another picturesque alley.

39. If you ask me to name a few sights of Munich, I will answer you: "There are thousands and hundreds of thousands! Every street and lane, house, alley, park!" In no case do not tie your travel plans to any specific places from the guidebook. Take a walk, look around, do not forget that the true value is in real things, in those in which life is warm, and not in the dead exhibits of the museum.

40. Remember, I told you that it becomes more comfortable and more beautiful with every step? So, this theory still works :)

41. I walk past a wonderful park.

42. Alley with old cars. Not for the first time I notice that the Germans adore rare cars. It is appreciated much more than any pathos Maseratti, Bentley or Mustang. Yes, and attention, the soul requires much more than just new expensive cars. (see photo 20).

43. The apogee of beauty and coziness was the old Nymphenburg complex, consisting of a palace, a park and a canal system with decorative wings, which is now partially rooted in the usual residential quarters of Munich.

44. On both sides of the canal are two coziest alleys - entirely wrapped in greenery. No less pleasant, quiet streets diverge perpendicularly, in some places even historical pavers have been preserved.

45. The water in the canal seems cloudy, nevertheless, it is clean enough - a huge amount of hefty catfish lives in it, which people who walk here feed with great pleasure.

46. \u200b\u200bNot only adults - but also children :)

47. In the distance you can see the Nymphenburg Palace. We’ll just go to him now.

48. It seemed that here - one of the best areas of Munich with the correspondingly high cost of housing. A lot of greenery, beautiful, calm, old mansions - really looks like a tidbit.

49. Near the canal it’s nice to sit on a bench, take a nap under the warming sun and watch passers-by.

50. You look around, squinting your eyes, take a small sip of mineral water from a bottle, and try to slow down your time with all your might - or even stop it altogether so that this wonderful moment lasts forever.

51. Taking a breath, I continue my journey along the path along the canal and soon enough approach to the Nymphenburg Palace.

52. In front of the palace complex along the old bridge is a wide road. Either two, or three stripes in each direction - nevertheless, clean, comfortable and calm.

53. The bridge, in addition to being very beautiful, also serves as an excellent point of view of the palace - therefore, there are always many photographers and tourists on it.

54. Near the palace there are a lot of geese, ducks and even swans. Some birds are especially arrogant - they come close to people who deigned to feed them, and if they stop giving food - they try to eat their children and begin to carefully beg for it, tearing it out of their hands.

55. Okay, let's talk about the most interesting - the palace complex. Nymphenburg was built in the second half of the 17th century (at that time Petersburg did not even exist yet, and its territory belonged to Sweden!), And is an excellent example of the luxury available to the owners of blue blood in what was then Europe.

56. The palace is really beautiful and very elegant, it looks like from a fairy tale. Nevertheless, to your humble servant, tempted by the heavenly places of St. Petersburg: Pavlovsky and Tsarskoye Selo, Oranienbaum, Peterhof and Strelna - Nymphenburg seemed rather modest, not on that scale. But Germany is not Russia. Here, they have long since escaped pathos even in terms of historical monuments, so who knows, maybe in the good old days Nymphenburg would calmly set the heat to all Petersburg palace complexes combined, who knows :)

57. The park behind the palace is also very beautiful, but if you recall Peterhof ... Do you understand what I mean :)

58. Importantly, the entrance to the park and even to the first floor of the palace is completely free. This advantage is enjoyed with great pleasure by the locals: by the time I got to Nymphenburg, many had already woken up, lovers of morning runs and cyclists were rushing past. And what an excellent place for workout!

59. It seems that there should have been a hefty pond with water.

60. View of the castle from the side of the park. Some sculptures are hidden behind scaffolding - no luck, got on restoration. Or, who knows, maybe they have already begun to conserve them by winter? Yes, it’s hot in the street, above +20, but nobody canceled the fact that in two weeks it will be November.

62. Only a small part of the park was made ceremonial and official. A significant part of the territories is a cozy forest with narrow paths, centenary trees and the calming rustle of foliage. Back to the route, I decided to make my way through it - it's time to breathe out and leave for a short time a well-groomed civilization, feel for a moment in the lap of nature.

63. Streams flow through the woods, which are easily overcome with the help of rounded bridges. The main thing is to run away from the path of runners and cyclists on time.

64. Quite by accident, walking along the more often, you go out into the clearing where such beauty is erected. Something similar was seen in Oranienbaum, but there small palaces and buildings are still somehow visually highlighted. And here, in Munich, you’re just walking through the woods - and here, bam - an architectural monument for no reason :) If you take a closer look, you will understand that Peter I was inspired in such a way, then built Petersburg :)

65. Time runs mercilessly, and soon enough I am faced with a dilemma - the plans have at least two places where I wanted to visit, but it seems that there is already enough time for only one. When I leave the territory of the palace complex, in the distance a little to the left I see the silhouette of the Munich TV tower located in the Olympic Park - the very place that I planned to visit. After a little thought, I decide to leave it all the same next time, because the next item on the list seems to me much more interesting.

66. While I am walking along the cozy Munich lanes towards the tram stop, I continue to ascertain the correctness of my decision - I need to go to Dachau. Surely you heard this word before - it seems scary, cold, frightening - after all, it was called one of the most cruel and ruthless concentration camps built in Nazi Germany. Along with Auschwitz, Dachau was turned into a museum and, at the same time, a memorial to the fallen victims of bloody terror. I had never been to such places before, but I always wanted to touch, try to feel this sad page of history.

67. However, I will talk about Dachau next time, and we will probably end this walk through sunny, almost summer (despite the second half of October) Munich in this positive photo, which I even decided to take to the very top, as the title page. Nice city to spend a weekend in which is an unforgettable pleasure!
