Lovely Munich

Posted by Chee Wei On September - 27 - 2009 17 COMMENTS

Just realised my previous post was more than 5 weeks ago. The last few weeks before I left UK was rather busy and thinking that I would have more time when I get back to Malaysia was rather the opposite.

Anyway, here are more Munich photos. This photo was taken in front of the Nationaltheater München which is an opera house and the home base of the Bayerische Staatsoper (Bavarian State Opera), and the Bayerisches Staatsballett (Bavarian State Ballet).

Munich, Germany

Walk along the street of Residenzstraße, you will reach Odeonsplatz and this is where you’ll see the Feldherrnhalle on your left which is where this statue stands.

Proceed along the same street, you will see an arch on your right, go through it will bring you to the Hofgarten (court garden). This peaceful and colourful garden has long been an oasis in the middle of the city.
The doors standing tall below mark the hall of the Residenz Palace.

If you are a chocolate lover and fancy eating bugs, you might want to try some of these.

Still plenty of photos to post, will probably do it when I get some spare time. Anyway, feel free to drop any comments.

Sunbathing in the Nude

Yes you read it right. Its all happening in Munich’s English Garden. There is this part of the garden where sunbathing naked has been permitted since 1960s.

How unfortunate that there were no naked women to behold. The weather to blame as it was all gloom and doom.

“We want food! Have you got any for us?”. Some ducks do chase after you.

The English Garden is really huge, there is even a river running through the garden.

Munich isn’t just a city of steel and concrete. Here’s why…

Tulips in Marienplatz, Munich

Tulips just remind me of my Amsterdam trip to the world’s largest flower garden. They are just amazing eh…

She just couldn’t resist having a photo with these beautiful tulips. In fact, more than one photo :)

Marienplatz, Munich

After checking into our hotel, we headed straight to the central of Munich, Marienplatz. The metro (underground train) is a little different from London’s Tube.

Underground train, Metro, Munich

The platforms are bigger and the trains are slightly wider. However, the train coaches do look quite old.
Hopping of at the Marienplatz station gets you to the heart of Munich city.

This is the Fish Fountain (Fischbrunnen) designed by Konrad Knoll in 1864 which is located next to the Town Hall.

Everything looks medieval here, even the door as well.

Georg Joseph Hauberrisser is the guy who built the New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) between 1867 and 1909.

Frauenkirche, Munich

Standing tall is the Frauenkirche which means “Church of Our Lady”.

This church was built in 1468 by Duke Sigismund. However, the green domes at the top of the tower were added in 1525.

Some buildings around the Frauenkirche. Very green indeed.
