A Bit of Munich in Germany.
Going back 5 years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Germany, for me this was going to be very exciting as, I always wanted to visit a European country to see there many magnificent architectural buildings and there way of life, at the time, I had a old school friend who was working in Munich and we had arranged to meet up when we both got our vacation breaks from work, so we time it exactly and found myself in Munich 5 years ago. Just a warning 5 years ago my photography was not that good and I only had a cheap cell phone so please excuse the poorer quality of these photos.
Arriving in Munich, Germany in 2016, I found the city to be buzzing but yet so tranquil the people were pretty down to earth and were always happy to show their best side, this made me feel quite comfortable to be in Germany straight away and the other good thing was that Munich is known for it's many centuries old buildings and it was the one main thing in really wanted to come to Germany, I just love old school architectural building much prefer them to look at then, them square glass buildings, boring.

Munich is the capital of Bavaria and the third largest city in Germany, it's Germany's lifestyle capital with a population of nearly 1.5 million people it is a city with a big heart. Marienplatz Square was one of the first places we visited it's the town with all the new and old and has the oldest churches like the Church of Our Lady, Baroque and Renaissance cathedrals all dating back between the 12th and 18th centuries so all very classic, old school architect design was so beautiful see that Gothic look very impressive.

Munich is also known for it's annual Oktoberfest celebration and it's huge vibrant beer halls like the Paulaner Brewery at Westin Grand Munich and the HB Hofbräuhaus Beer Garden and more some of the best tasting beers in the world are found here in Munich City, been one of the world's great beer and brewing capitals of Europe, it's a wonder why the beer is so good.

Been in Germany is like been in Italy when it comes to food they love filling and flavorful cuisines and after walking and exploring the city streets of Munich, this is what you want at the end of the day with a tall glass of cold beer.
There was one thing that, I enjoyed mostly that was to wonder around the street markets looking and trying out some of there street foods especially all the variety of cheeses they had and the people where so friendly about it as if you were invited to there own home for lunch they would offer you whatever to try, great sales people I thought with a smile.

There fruits and vegetables were always so fresh the grapes especially is what, I would buy and munch on as, I was walking the streets of Munich.
Then there is the Isar River which flows through the city of Munich from south to north is one of the main recreational area in Munich people will gather along this river to enjoy a meal or a coffee by the river enjoying the peacefulness of the river flowing pass them great way to have a meal and a beer with your friends. I did travel to other parts of Germany but these will come up in another post. Hope you enjoyed this tour around the beautiful city of Munich.

An awesome travel blog with great photos and a story!
I was in Munich 2 years after you, in 2018 but I couldn't recognize some of the places... It's time to go on a visit again! :)
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project and it will be highlighted in the next post!
Thank you @ph1102 it was a awesome country to visit and like you, I would love to go and see more some day and thank you for highlighting my post in @OurPick project much appreciated :)
I love the old buildings too also these European architecture. Your photos are so cool, I really hope that I can visit this beautiful country someday.
They do have more style and character @winnietran heaps better looking then, them glass buildings.
It's very cool, unique buildings, clean river and city, the perfect combination. greetings from us Tomi and Maya, Indonesia
Thank you @maytom a place, I would go back to see more :)
Excellent report - though within reach for me (from Vienna) I have not been to Munich in Decades, yet I received some of my early training there. While I was away from Europe for well over 40 years, I am back now for the last 10, so no reason not to visit Munich. Your post gives me the incentive to put this as a priority on my list.
I loved your post! I lived in Germany for a while, although it was up in the Benelux (or Eiffel region) I spent time in Munich many times. Europe is an amazing place and I am glad that you got to go. The architecture is to die for and the only thing you can do is stare with your mouth hanging open. The residences all have the year they were built above the doorframe. I thought that was kind of cool, indeed!
I cannot believe you didn't eat any Weisswurst or white sausage? Well, you probably did as they are the most popular sausage in Munich. It is like spaghetti in Italy. :) Even though you had a phone for a camera, the pictures are stunning, especially the churches. Don't they have the most amazing churches? Thailands are epic, these are architectural delights. Just different than Thailand and very different from Australia. You know you are never going to be able to go back, right? Although, the beaches there are also to die for.
You never fail me on a post, they are without a doubt, so delicious! Every single time. I loved this trip. Can we go again when COVID is over? We deserve it! :)
#MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue.
Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:
Take pictures! Be creative!
As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!
