It's just ginormous and incredibly historic. Cafe on site for refreshments.

Residenz München is a must see, outstanding history work of art. I was in awed by the sheer…read moreopulence, vastness, and diverse architecture of Germany's largest city palace. I recommend when touring here that you opt for the in-depth audio tour as it is very informative in great detail. This palace is never ending as it seems. You can spend literally hours here. Every room has its own description and life. Simply amazing to be standing in a part of history which was originated in the late 1300s.

We spent our day in Munich, exploring the surroundings and really wanted to go to the palace. This…read moreis a great experience. Expect to spend at least 2 to 3 hours if you're willing to read and listen to the audio historical information. This is well worth the trip. A short walk from our hotel. And you get to go through the English gardens.

You see…read morethe crematorium and some rebuilt barracks and a lot of history of the first concentration camp. Our tour guide was very good and seemed to enjoy his job. The tour does not take you to some of the areas, but there are plenty of displays in those as well. The visitor center is also pretty nice and helpful service. Worth a half day trip while in Munich.

Dachau was one of the first concentration camps and was the longest running one spanning from early…read more1933 to 1945. I have been to other camps around Europe, but this one was larger than the others that I've seen. They all are similar in that it is very sobering and sad to walk amongst these sites where so many atrocities occurred. It's insane to visit a place like this and to realize there are people on this planet that believe this is fake and never happened. It's free to enter and is a short drive from Munich. There are many different buildings and outdoor areas to walk amongst, the main ones being the small museum, the barracks, and the worst of all which was the gas chamber. This place is absolutely packed with history and is a very important educational experience for everyone. It's important that these crimes aren't forgotten and hopefully prevented in the future. It's honestly a sad visit but I would definitely recommend that everyone should visit this site at least once. Understanding history is the best way to prevent it from occurring again so it's really important that these lessons aren't forgotten and that these victims are remembered.

This is an interesting memorial that tells the story of the White Rose resistance cell, and the…read morepeople who created and organized it. Their stories are told in a museum type setting from the location where Hans and Sophie Scholl where arrested. The White Rose Memorial is in the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Its site is on the ground level where one of the greatest acts of resistance of WWII took place. In a fit of desperation before getting caught, the Scholls threw the last of the White Rose leaflets over a balcony overlooking the university's Great Hall. The leaflets famously rained down and landed a few feet away from where the memorial now stands. Hans and Sophie Scholl are probably the best known members, but theirs isn't the only story. The White Rose Memorial does an excellent job of telling the stories of Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, Alex Schmorell, Traute Lafrenz and Prof. Huber who made up the nucleus of the White Rose resistance cell. The stories of the White Rose members are told through photos, letters, personal diary entries, Gestapo, police and court records. It takes some time to absorb all the information, but is done so in an entertaining and educational manner. I recommend after viewing the exhibits in the museum, take the stairs up to the top level and stand at the spot where the Scholls threw the leaflets. A plaque marks the location. Look down upon the atrium below. It's quite powerful.

Gerner Brücke is an iron and concrete bridge over the Nymphenburg Palace Canal that was built in…read more1897. It connects the Gerner Straße in the Gern district with the Renatastraße in the Neuhausen district. While you can see the Hubertusbrunnen to the east, the view of the Nymphenburg Palace is obstructed. If you want that view, head over to the Ludwig-Ferdinand-Brücke. I believe the bridge only supports pedestrians and cyclists. Even though it has a load capacity of 24 tons, it is closed to vehicles. [Review 12035 overall, 1818 of 2019.]

A gorgeous square surrounded by beautiful old buildings and a gorgeous church. Unfortunately it's…read morebeen under construction for the past year, as they build a whole new square with an underground car park (a nice addition to the neighborhood with little parking) and market square. It's supposed to be finished by spring 2016 and I look forward to the weekly markets returning here and having a nice square in the neighborhood instead of construction vehicles and road blockages :-)) we live close to this square and walk by it most days. Before construction began there was weekly markets here, live events and so on. Looking forward to normalcy on this square again :-)) I wouldn't go out of your way to come here ;-)) if you happen to be in the area it's worth a quick peek. A few nice cafes and shops around the area.

Just within walking distance to TUM, cute coffee bars and plenty of bakeries are at every corner for a quick grab and go.

A VERY FAMOUS MECHANICAL CLOCK IN MUNICH'S MARIENPLATZ…read more====================================================== My husband and I were walking around the Marienplatz on Friday, April 17, 2026 just before noon and the plaza started filling up with people waiting to see the life-size figures. The show lasts about fifteen minutes and starts daily at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. from March to October. The clock has 43 bells and 32 life-size figures and was added during the completion of the Neues Rathaus or New Town Hall in 1908. We found a good spot to stand and wait on the opposite side of the plaza which was great because we were in the shade. If you ever visit Munich you definitely have to check this out. There are plenty of places to shop or dine nearby.

This fountain is located at the east end of the Nymphenburger canal, about 1.5 miles from the…read moreSchloss Nymphenburger. Designed and constructed between 1903 and 1907, the fountain is inside the building. Imagine a covered temple. Inside the building, there is the fountain and a statue of a deer. A figure of St. Hubert is inside. Hubertus of Liege lived around 655-727 and was Bistop of Maastrict and Liege. He is considered the patron saint of hunting. And if you'd asked me ten minutes ago if there was a patron saint of hunting, I would have answered "No." But https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubertus_von_L%C3%BCttich has the story of his conversion after seeing a magnificent deer carrying a crucifix in its antlers. That would explain why there is also a deer inside the building. It's interesting and if you're a hunter, worth a stop to pay tribute to your Patron Saint. However the building is quite dark and I could only just barely see the deer. [Review 12036 overall, 1819 of 2019.]
