Welcome to amazing Munich, the third largest city in Germany and the state capital of Bavaria. With a population of about 1.5 million residents, the city often ranks top in city-less equality of life and standard of living. Situated on the Isar River and not so far from stunning Bavarian alt, Munich is famous for culture, beer and football. Despite being heavily bombed in Merb or two, Munich's rich history and traditions have filled the city with interesting places to explore, including amazing parks, churches, palaces and museums. So here is my top 10 based on many visits to the amazing city Munich and stayed to the end for a bonus location with a great viewpoint that is free of charge. Oh and before we get started I will apologize in advance to any German speakers for my terrible pronunciation.

Our first stop is right in the very centre of Munich, Marion Platt's, it's been the main square of Munich since about 1158. In many evil times it was used for jousting and also as a market. Today it is the busy central hub of the city where the U-Bahn station, shops and restaurants. The main feature of this main square is a new city hall. This extravagantly-ogothic building was completed in 1905. It still hosts the city council and other civic institutions. Every day at 11am and 12pm and also 5pm March, October the famous Glockensfield can be viewed with its moving mechanical figures shown famous scenes from Munich's history. Don't forget to wander into the courtyard, you can also pay to enter the building and the centre of the viewing gallery in the tower. Also in Marion Platt is the old town hall which dates back to many evil times.

In the centre of the square is Marion's column which was built in 1638 to celebrate the end of a Swedish occupation. Our next destination is just around the corner from Marion Platt's. Munich Cathedral, but unknown as the frown curse, is a huge medieval brick building. It was constructed in the Gothic style and mostly complete by 1488. The building was severely damaged in World War II with restoration taking until 1994 to complete. The twin towers are famous landmarks in the city and are nearly 100 metres high. Since March 2022 the south tower can be climbed to reach the highest observation point in the centre of Munich. The massive interior is 109 metres long, 40 metres wide, 37 metres high. As someone who is a bit of a cathedral nerd those star mentions are very very big so the interior really is a totally epic place to see so make sure you don't miss it.

A few minutes walk away is another important square in Munich known as Odium Platt's. This majestic 19th century space was named after a former concert hall. The location is infamous to the location of the 1923 beer or putch, where Hitler and the Nazi party attempted to seize power in a deadly gun battle resulting in the deaths of 20 people. Today Odium Platt is a location of several interesting buildings including the Field Hall in Halla which was commissioned in 1841 by King McWidth I of Bavaria to honour the Bavarian army. Here is a copy of the famous Lodge of Dillanzee in Florence. Another site in Odium Platt is the impressive theatreine church. This large building was designed in the Italian Baroque style when Italian architect was constructed between 1663 and 1688. Although the towers and the style were added later, the interior with this intricate stucco and majestic dome is utterly stunning.

Another great location nearby is the Munich residence. This huge former royal palace complex was once home to the monarchs of Bavaria. It consists of numerous intercortiaids and about 130 rooms. The site dates back to medieval times and has been extended and updated many many times. The current complex consists of impressive Renaissance Baroque and Neoclassical buildings, many of which have impressive materials that can be visited. One of the many highlights of the antiquarian built in 1571 is one of the old parts of the palace with its stunning sculptures and decorations. The complex also contains a treasury, theatre and many other stunning rooms that will need to spend a few hours to explore. Next to the residence is a Hofgarten or Kortgarten. This large city park was built in 17th century and a style of an Italian Renaissance garden.

The very centre is a charming dinotemple which was completed in 1617. The English at Garten is a large park next to the Hofgarten. It stretches from the city centre and extends almost to the city outskirts making it one of the largest urban parks in the world. Created in 1789, it is styled in the manner of an English landscape garden. This style of informal garden design was made famous by the English gardener at Landscape Art to take to lunch a lot to capability brown. highlights of the huge park include the ice back beller where you can watch local surfing in this manmade river. Nearbyes and Monopteros, a small circular replica of a Greek temple that was built in the 19th century, the Ludwig I. From its mound you can enjoy lovely views across the park to see the historic city skyline. Also in the park is a beer garden with its own eight wooden tower built in 1790.

It resembles a Chinese begoada. Another highlight of the park is a heart to pronounce, Klein, Hesse, Loha, Hesse, a large lake with spectacular scenery that looks especially great in autumn. Munich is home to many palaces and parts but none are as memorable as the spectacular as Nymphenburg Palace. Located in the city's western district, it's best reached by public transport. This huge baroque palace was the main summer residence of the former rulers of the Vary. Instructed between 1664 and 1675, it was then extended massively over the years. The extensive main facade is over 700 meters long and is simply glorious. The interior is open to the public and contains many opulent rooms, the most memorable being this stone wall with its richly decorated with cocoa ornamentation and stunning frescoes.

Surrounding the palace is a huge park with a mixture of formal Italian Renaissance style gardens and informal English landscape garden park. The huge site contains a number of small buildings and monuments many of which can be should be visited. I like to include the stunning Armenianburg and the lots of its amazing croco interior. The park is open all year round and looks especially stunning and winter and autumn. Germany is world famous for its excellent cars and Munich is home to one of the most famous brands, BMW. Located to the north of the city centre is a huge factory complex and headquarters of this famous company. Located here you can find the BMW headquarters building with its impressive modern tower alongside the BMW museum where you can explore the history of the brand. Just across the road is BMW Velt which is a free to enter giant showroom and showcase containing current BMW vehicles.

The impressive modern building was opened in 2007 and looks especially epic at night. The Olympia Park is situated next to the BMW complex and was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics. The park contains the impressive venues for the Olympics many of which are still in use today including the stadium, Olympic hall and aquatic centre. Another highlight of the park is the Olympic Tower which is 291 metres high. The tower serves as a broadcast tower but also as an observation platform at 190 metres was stunning views over the city. Also not to be messed love visiting the Olympia Park is the hilltop viewing point located on a mound in the south of the park. From here you can get some of the best views of the park and also these great views across the city with the majestic alps in the background.

Heading back towards the historical centre of Munich the next amazing place is Connex Plats for King Square. This large public space is home to some important neoclassical museums and buildings. The centre piece is the impressive property of Gates which was completed in 1862 and was inspired by the architecture of the Acropolis in Athens. The Clip to Tic Museum is another monumental neoclassical building and was completed in 1830 and designed to house the collection of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures belonging to King Ludwig I. Situated opposite is the Stathlica Antic in Zunlangan which was established in 1848 and held to stake collection of antiquities and yeah I know I probably badly miss pronounced that. These buildings are just one part of Munich Museum Quarter but you can also discover other museums and galleries.

Finally we arrive back in the very centre of Munich to visit some Peter's Church which is the oldest recorded Paris Church in Munich predating the city itself. The current building dates from about 1327 and was built to replace and even earlier church that was destroyed by a fire. Over the centuries the current church has been modified and now includes many ornate's Baroque and Rococo decorations but it's especially famous Baroque high altar. The 91 meter high tower can be visited to see some of the best views in Munich but has a very small viewing platform that can get very very overcrowded so avoid busy times before attempting the 300 steps to reach the top. However the views are pretty spectacular. Last but not least a bonus site for anyone who likes a good view. Situated on the banks of the river Issa is the Maxime Millennial.

Completed in 1874 this monumental building is now the home of the Bavarian State Parliament. From the top of the steps leading up to the main entrance you can see epic views over the entire city. A real treat and a great place to relax and soak in the scenery. That's it for my top 10. Let me know in the comments if you disagree with my 10 picks and feel free to correct my awful pronunciation.
