Reaching for the Sky - Munich...
by zeelie
Reaching for the Sky - Munich is a city of monuments and statutes; I chanced upon this gigantic art piece in the Schwabing area. The explanatory notes were all in German, hence I didn't manage to find out the 'history' behind it.
Munich Tip
by Lochlainn
I was really amazed at how much of the seemingly ancient architecture in Munich you see is actually post war reconstruction (like a lot of what you see here) and take my hat off to the citizens of Munich for going to such painstaking lengths to return its old centre to its former glory with such fantastic attention to detail. Would that all European cities be so protective of their heritage!
Dress like a local
by phil_uk_net
In order to blend in while visiting Munich it is essential to wear traditional clothes. These are available to buy in shops all around the city. This American tourist from Wisconsin, Al Weissburger, arrived in plaid pants and a baseball cap yesterday but now looks as if he has spent in whole life in Bavaria.
