Top 3 thing to do in Munich

Neues Rathaus

A postcard favourite, Munich’s town hall on Marienplatz is a Gothic Revival wonder, a monument worthy of the city. The facade is festooned with pinnacles, niches with little trefoil arches and statues of the first four Bavarian kings on the bay of the tower.

Marienplatz

In any season, Marienplatz in front of the Neues Rathaus will be brimming with locals and tourists out shopping, sightseeing or just watching the city go by. The square has been at the centre of the city since the 12th century and is named for a Marian column that was raised here in the 17th century. The monument is from 1638 and celebrates the withdrawal of Swedish troops from Munich during the 30 Years’ War.

Frauenkirche

Although there are prettier churches in Munich, none possess the 15th-century Frauenkirche’s sense of scale. Its pair of towers, crowned with onion domes are a Munich landmark, and no new building is permitted to exceed their 109-metre height. The church’s design is famously discreet, with few window openings and unadorned walls that inspire awe. The Frauenkirche suffered in the war, but there’s still a lot of restored or original art to seek out inside.

Munich’s Food Guide

Weisswurst

Weisswurst, literally white sausage, is a fat, short pork sausage that in combination with beer, a pretzel and some mustard make up the Bavarian breakfast. Again, serious business. It is delicious, but not for the faint of heart. Figuratively or literally.

Pretzels

These are not your rejected Super Bowl snacks. Bretzels in Germany (Braytzell) are serious business. No sugar, no cinnamon, just hearty, twisted bread studded with enough salt to make the accompanying beer a medical necessity.

Schmalz

A real south German specialty, schmalz is basically just pig fat, or lard. That’s it. Bavarians spread it on whole wheat bread and add crispy dry onions or apple flakes. Traditionally, this was an in-between meal snack for farmers and everyone else who did physical labour. These days, it’s just delicious.
