I've seen people surf an artificial wave on a cruise ship (YouTube) but seeing folks river surf in…read moreMunchen, was really mind blowing. Eisbach-Welle (ice river waves) had a lot of people queuing on this day and the water is cold and murky - nothing like surfing on Waikiki (I highly recommend this BTW). They looked like they were very disciplined, courteous of one another, and most of all - having a lot of fun. I don't have a thick wet suit and I don't think there is a surf board rental shop here in all of Germany!! So, I think these folks are local and they brought their own surf boards. If there was a rental shop close by, I'd probably give this a try but there are no lifeguards here. Perhaps, they all just look after each other?? FYI, if you haven't surfed, it's like sledding down a hill, it's fun surfing the wave, but to get back out to ride the wave, it's really tiring. But you don't experience that here because it's a standing wave. After a wipe out, the surfers basically went to the bank of the river and back into the queue on either side. After spending some time in Old Town, walk over here and check them out, it's an endless way to check out great form and to dream of being back in Hawaii...

Eisbach-Welle is a popular spot for surfing in the heart of Munich! Located at one end of the…read moreEnglish Garden, surfers surf the waves of the Eisbach river. When I visited in late August, there was a line of surfers on each bank of the river, about 5 surfers deep. Each side took turns surfing the river, 1 surfer at a time. I'd say each surfer spent about a minute surfing before either dropping off or wiping out. There's great views of the surfing from either bank or one could watch on the bridge overhead. At least 100 people were watching when I went. Overall each surfer was considerate of their fellow surfer, in fact you might say they were very mindful and very demure. :P Eisbach-Welle is definitely a fun spot to visit and if you know how to surf, it's definitely worth a try.

From Oktoberfest, to the Englischer Garten, the original Hofbrauhaus to the Marienplatz, not to mention the shopping and tons of restaurants featuring cuisine from all over the world, Munich has it all! I love that, for however modern it is, you can still feel the history coming through, whether from the architecture or the traditional Trachten that some wear every day. I've been twice, and I hope to return to explore even more! 36/2021

Munich is referred to by the British locals as "Toy Town" and, by the locals as the "Big Village"…read moreand, they are both correct. Voted as #4 in the world for quality of life by the Mercer Quality of Living survey three years in a row, is well justified, in my opinion. For me Munich is a great city to live in and, not the best tourist town in Germany. Having said that, it does attract a ton of tourists to the world famous Oktoberfest each year. Munich is the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg and the 12th biggest city of the European Union with a population of above 1.5 million. The Munich Metropolitan Region is home to 5.8 million people. Like many European cities there are quarters, suburbs and areas where there are markets, restaurants, night life, culture, history and so on. Of course most people who come to visit, spend their time in the centre of town around Marienplatz and so on, there are many other interesting areas of town like Haidhausen, Neuhausen, Sendling, Schwabing, Isavorstadt, Gartnerplatz, Glockenbachviertel, Schlacthofviertel, Giesing, Maxvorstadt and on and on the list goes. With over 1400km of bike lanes this is a great city to discover on bike or, buy a day pass and use public transport. MVV has an app for public transport system which is easy to use and, there is also an app with the bike routes around town. From February to beginning of January this city is a host to tons of festivals and markets. Starting with Fasching / Karnivale and the Starkbierfest to the fine Christmas markets and NYE celebrations there is activities for the whole family in plenty. Most of the festivals outside of Oktoberfest are mostly known to the locals and they come out in hoards to enjoy these festivals throughout the year. Of course many of these are bierfest's but there are plenty of others that don't revolve around beer (well they all actually do, some more than others ;-)). Having lived here now for a few years, we have come to love the city. There is always something to do and, many beautiful places and cities are not far away by car or public transport. It is the gateway to Bavaria and hard to believe that, a large part of this city was damaged during the war but, has been meticulously restored over the years. The food scene has changed dramatically over the years and, the international cuisine scene has developed much, over the last few years. There are plenty of options from cheap dining to Michelin starred dining to suit most palettes. There are many culinary delights, also in the countryside. Enjoy the city and explore it by foot, bike or public transport. I hope you like it.

If you look down this street towards the city you will see the Bavaria Gate, Walking Man and possibly Odeonsplatz. On both sides of this road on the Schwabing side there are loads of shops, cafes and bars. During the year this street is shut down a few times for parades, celebrations, fairs and markets. St Patrick's parade is an example of one of the big parades along here and there is a mile long food market closer to Oktoberfest and so on. If you are a visitor to Munich you will probably end up here. It's an area with a few hostels around and some cheap bars and cafes to hang out. A short walk from the old city centre and also on the Munich City Bus tour.
