Munich- the city that robs ones heart

Visiting Munich? Wonderful, great choose. The beautiful city us a treasure, the center of Bayern and a marvelous destination for a weekend trip (and if you can afford to be longer away from school/work, I can't see any reason why not to get away into the amazing city for a longer time).
First of all, Munich is a city where you pay only with € (no, if you give five dollars over the sum, they won't take dollars) this was just for your information, if you're not aware of how to pay. Good fact one should remember in Germany.
Munich is a beautiful place, with many cafees and small shops spread all over the place (don't be afraid to walk, even if it looks weird in some places). Be ready to ask people, as many times as they ask you whether they could somehow help you. My biggest advice: ask if you don't know (this is handy also in normal life). Try to find places that interest you. To make thoughts forehand, check this out!

Frauenkirche- the most beautiful church around, there is a possibility to climb up the tower of the church. From there is a wonderful view across the city. Next to the church are many Biergarten. Visit one of them (my advice is, try in the night Hofbräuhaus, it's the oldest, biggest and most famous. But there are still more Germans in there than tourists, for it can get a tad loud sometimes)  It can be that you are more of a wine-girl than beer-girl. (I am for sure, as is Ivon!) Even though they have wine.. it doesn't look good if you order it. Trust me, you gotta have beer in some way, otherwise all the people around know that you are kinda messed up (in Germany you have to seek people who don't drink beer in any variations). One of the perfect things in Germany is, that they have variations, and many of them. With beer they variate it in "Diesel", "Radler", and many other ways. Diesel is a combination of Coca-Cola and beer, nearly fifty-fifty in the glass. Tastes like Coca-Cola, but has a twist of beer. Radler on other hand is the same thing but Sprite. These drinks are what Germans give their children at festivals and on other occasions.

Because Germans do everything properly, they even have Weinschorle- white or red wine combined with Sprite. Try it just for fun! For me, this tastes as summer, friends, youth, breaking the rules of behaviour (who would guess that you're as old as you are when you drink anything combined not with an other alcohol drink but with the usual, plain old Sprite/Cola?), it still has the taste of good old wine but with a new, refreshing side taste.

.. I guess I kinda got carried out now with the drinks. Well.. what can I do? A girl has to know what tastes best. The last thing about beer- the local big brand in Munich is Paulaner- beer. Don't go with Heineken, please don't do that!!

So, back to the places and to-do's of the city. If it's rainy or you are very interested in technology and history of it, you must visit Deutsches Museum ("the German Museum"). It's a big museum full of tech-cool stuff. There is a possibility that you travel with a guy who really really wants to spend the day in the museum.. Give them the chance. Blackmail them into a shopping/walking day in the best places of Munich. ;) The best shopping places are around the "Zentrum" even though there are some outlets (MANY) outside the city. If you seeks something more original, try the places around Marienplatz. It doesn't matter if you have any money on you, but this is a Must, otherwise you haven't seen Munich. Walk eating ice-cream (Germans have a tradition of getting the best of other things, so it will be Gelato that you'll be eating. The only and one true Gelato) on Maximilianstrasse and Theaterstrasse. Maximilianstrasse is famous for it's Chanel, Bvlgari, Prada, etc stores. Theaterstrasse is more famous for it's liveness, as there are always many street performances going on, starting of break dance, ending with opera singing and orchestras on the street. Enjoy them, visit Kunsthalle and the passages around it.
