Munich City Tour

Yesterday, we went on a tour of Munich, then had dinner at a Bräuhaus (restaurant that serves many types of beer, and traditional Bavarian food, along with other dishes.)

You can check out our photos of the tour below, and I'll provide you with some added informatio on the various sites.

Nymphenburg Palace we've already visited, so no need to provide you with more information. However, this time, we obtained a photo of the magnificent fountain out front.

You will see some photos of the Staatliche Antikensammlungen at Königsplatz in Munich, hosting a collection of Etruscan and Roman art. The collection was started by King Ludwig I, who also, in 1838, instructed architect Georg Friedrich Ziebland to design this temple-like building. Destroyed during the War, it was rebuilt and reopened in 1967.

We went by the Munich Residence, which we had also already visited, and then made our way to Munich's famous Hofbräuhaus, a beer hall, where the beer served is from the Hofbräu München, the Bavarian State Brewery. The original Hofbräuhaus was built in 1589 by the Bavarian duke William V.

We then made our way to Marienplatz, where you can find Munich's New City Hall, Munich's Old City Hall, and the Mariensäule, a column erected in the centre of Marienplatz in 1638 to celebrate the end of Swedish occupation. The City of Munich has a Marienplatz live webcam.
