Munich City Center

We arrived at our Munich Airport hotel at 8 AM local time, and Margy arrived from NJ within a half hour. The hotel was kind enough to allow us to check in early. After a nap, we rallied and bravely took the subway into Munich Center City and had a great time exploring a municipal building with a tower providing a great view of the city, St. Peter's Catholic Church, shopping at an outstanding outdoor market, having coffee at a local cafe, and eating a great calorie packed German meal before returning back to the hotel via subway.

The City Center public building had an observation tower that allowed a great birds eye view of this charming Bavarian city.

The weather is overcast and a little chilly, so we stopped for coffee pick me up at a little cafe.

We stopped in St.Peter's Catholic Church, which as partially destroyed during WWII and was rebuilt. The church had many beautiful and interesting features, including the skeleton of a of a martyr in a glass enclosed case.

Then city marketplace was busy with bicycles, cars, pedestrians, and political protesters. The historic city center included butcher shops, fresh fruits, vegatable and flowers, gift shops and restaurants.

Our German dinner was outstanding. Beer, bratwurst, roasted pig, spaetzle, sauerkraut, Bavarian pretzels, mushroom soup....you get the picture. Everything was delicious. Then it was back to our hotel on the subway. A full and fun day!
