During our trip to Europe, we spent the whole day in Munich. I don’t argue that one day for a city like Munich is negligible, but our route through the historical part of the city was designed in such a way that we were able to cover almost all the main attractions of the city.

If you look at the map of the city, you can see that our walk was an open circle: from the National Theater building, through the Odeonplatz, with a visit to the Frauenkirche and the Church of St. Michael (a little to the side), through Marienplatz, past the old Town Hall, and ended near the beer hall Hofbräuhaus. And now, in order.

The first point of our excursion was Max-Josef-Platz, where the Munich National Theater is located. Sightseeing tours on double-decker buses also start from here, but our walk was on foot. The square was named in honor of Emperor Maximilian Joseph, who, after visiting Paris, decided to build the same theater here, reminiscent of the Parisian Odeon. True, for this it was necessary to demolish the Franciscan monastery that previously stood here. This theater was supposed to become the center of the cultural life of the city, in fact, this is what happened; Strauss, Wagner and many other famous composers presented their operas here. The theater building is made in antique style and decorated with a colonnade.

Our next stop is Odeonplatz. This is one of the largest squares in Munich and, after Marienplatz, the most visited by tourists. Here are three important attractions that are definitely worth paying attention to. Firstly, this is the Feldherrnhalle - a pavilion in honor of the Bavarian commanders Wrede and Tilly. The Munich people themselves are people with humor, so they laugh at one of their main monuments, that one of them (Wrede) is not a commander at all, and the second (Tillie) is not a Bavarian at all.

Be that as it may, this open pavilion, recreated after the famous loggia in Florence (well, Bavarian architects loved to adopt other people’s experience), is one of the city’s attractions. Tourists love to sit on the steps of this pavilion among the lions, especially in hot weather. By the way, in order to make the square so large and representative, the Bavarian Emperor Ludwig ordered the destruction of the old city wall.

If you are sitting on the steps of the Feldherrnhalle, on your right hand will be one of the most beautiful churches in Munich - Theatinekirche. This yellow building in Baroque style (with light Rococo elements) was built by an Italian architect, also known for the reconstruction of the beautiful Ettal Monastery. It is interesting that the facade of the building, which became famous with two elegant columns, appeared here only a hundred years after the church building itself was built. The building is crowned with a large baroque dome, similar to those seen on many Italian cathedrals. The church of St. Cayetano (that is what it is correctly called) belonged to the monastic order of Theatines, little known outside Bavaria.

Opposite the Theatinkirche is a pompous complex of buildings decorated with statues. This Residence is the seat of the Bavarian kings of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Construction began back in the 14th century, and today this palace complex includes a dozen beautiful courtyards, a very beautiful park, tourists have access (for a fee, of course) to several state rooms and a treasury, where items collected by Bavarian kings since the early Middle Ages are presented hidden treasures. But due to lack of time we did not get there. But we were advised that next time we should definitely visit the unusually beautiful halls Antiquarium and the Hall of Ancestors (we looked it up on the Internet, and it’s really impressive). There are lions at the entrance to the Residence; you must rub the paw of one of them to make a wish. Which one you will easily understand, since it is wonderfully polished by tourists.

Odeonplatz is also associated with events that Munich residents themselves do not really like to remember. Here, back in 1923, Adolf Hitler and his associates made their first attempt to seize power (the so-called Beer Hall Putsch - where the name came from, a little later). Hundreds of Nazis clashed with the police, resulting in the deaths of three police officers and several Nazis. During Hitler's reign, a memorial plaque was installed here, and every German had to raise his hand in greeting when passing by it. After the defeat of the Nazis, the Americans entered the city. They removed this slab, and the townspeople erected a memorial slab here in honor of the police officers who became the first victims of the Nazis.

You can walk from Odeonplatz to Frauenkirche along the Fünf Höfe shopping arcade, located in a historical building. But only the facade remains of the historical one, and in the passage itself you will pass under hanging garlands of plants, balls, and bright lanterns. Very beautiful and unusual.

Our next stop is the main cathedral of Munich, Frauenkirche, built in an unusual manner for late Gothic, distinguished by its grandiose size and legends associated with it. This attraction is worth telling about separately. Here I will only say that this is the tallest building in the city, above which it is prohibited to build.

Then we deviate a little from the conventional circle to the side to go to the incredibly beautiful Church of St. Michael. This is an incredibly beautiful temple with a snow-white facade, reminiscent of traditional town halls, decorated with statues of Bavarian rulers. But its interior decoration delights not only and not so much with its wealth, but with its grace, sophistication, and sophistication. The white walls are decorated with luxurious stucco in the Italian High Renaissance style. The shine of gold, the beauty of paintings, the golden altar - it’s hard to take your eyes off all this.

The church was built in the 16th century during the period of religious wars. The Wittelsbachs always remained faithful to Catholicism, and therefore were ardent supporters of the Counter-Reformation. And this church was intended for the Jesuit order, created specifically to fight the Protestants.

Many representatives of the Wittelsbach family are also buried in this church (in the crypt). ruled Bavaria for several centuries. Also here are the miraculous relics of saints, presumably Cosmas and Damian. At the entrance to the church, the Archangel Michael stands over a bowl of holy water, as if protecting everyone who enters the temple and the church itself from evil. This bronze statue dates back to the end of the 16th century.

The church building was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War by a direct bomb hit. But it was restored quite quickly, and today, as a reminder of this, photographs of the war-damaged building are posted on the wall at the entrance of the church.

Then our path lies to the main attraction of the city - the central square Marienplatz. Passing by the Frauenkirche, we took another look at this grandiose structure (although one of its towers was under reconstruction), and soon came out onto Marienplatz. There will be a separate story about this place, as it deserves it. I will only say that its main attraction is the unusually beautiful Town Hall, made in the neo-Gothic style.

From Marienplatz, if you turn your back to the town hall, you can see a fragment of another important landmark of the city - the bell tower of St. Peter's Cathedral (Peterskirche). This tower is only six or seven meters lower than the Frauenkirche towers. The city residents themselves call this tower “Old Peter”.

It is noteworthy that the church consists of two parts. Its facade looks brand new, but if you go around the church, you will see an ancient, darkened structure, worn out by time. This is the old part of the church. The fact is that this cathedral is the oldest in the city, and the first Romanesque basilica was built here in the 12th century by the monks who founded the city here.

By the way, Munich is translated as “monk”. There are a lot of different statues and figurines in the city that remind of this. And the city’s coat of arms depicts a hooded monk.

We walked around St. Peter's Church from different sides (we didn't go inside), and we moved on. There are a lot of different arches, passages, and galleries in Munich. Many of them are used as parking for public transport - bicycles. In Munich, the cyclist is the master of traffic. You can rent a bicycle here everywhere - you throw in some money, take a bicycle from the parking lot, go where you want, find a bicycle parking place there and leave it there. Steal a bike? It seems to me that such an idea will not even occur to the Germans.

And finally, finishing the tour, we come to another attraction - the Hofbrauhaus beer hall. In addition to the fact that this is the largest beer hall in Europe, and most likely in the world, it is also known for a very unpleasant fact. Remember I wanted to tell you about the Beer Hall Putsch? So, it was in the Hofbräuhaus, over a glass of beer, that Hitler and his supporters discussed the coup plan in 1923, which is why it got its name. Today at the Hofbräuhaus everything is different. Here you can drink several liters of beer, eating a luxurious pork knuckle with cabbage and potatoes, while listening to traditional Bavarian melodies. Of course, everything here is expensive, but the portions are wow, you don’t leave there, you almost crawl out.

And of course, I cannot ignore one more point of visit, which is not in the excursion plan, but which we found in our free time - the Bayern Munich Fan Shop. There are only a few of them in Germany, and only here you can buy original club products. For the almost 100 euros we gave without regret, Bernie the bear and a branded T-shirt with Schweinsteiger's name went to Russia with us.

After two hours of free time walking through the shopping streets of Munich and leaving a lot of euros there, we had to return to Max-Josef-Platz, where the bus was waiting. It’s interesting that as soon as you take out a guidebook and ask the Germans a question, you are immediately surrounded by ever-smiling Japanese, Chinese and very friendly and cheerful Italians, eager to help and show that they know the city.

Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport (Flughafen München "Franz Josef Strauß" ) is an international airport located in Bavaria. Named after the former prime minister of Bavaria. The airport was put into operation on May 17, 1992. The second largest airport in Germany in terms of the number of passengers carried. It is the base airport of the national company Lufthansa.

Route around Munich. Old city.

Marienplatz

Exactly at 10.00 at the city hall (the most gothic building of the square), a puppet show with mechanical figures-actors begins to strike the clock. From the central point of Marienplatz, streets radiate in all directions. These are hiking trails that are full of shops, cafeterias and souvenirs. Nearby in a quiet park by the river Izar You can relax, look around and feed tame ducks and swans.

Frauenkirche and St. Michael's Cathedral

Must visit Women's Church. From Marienplatz it is only four hundred steps away. You will easily find out Frauenkirche along two rounded domes that evoke involuntary associations with female breasts. If you are lucky enough to attend the service, you will be able to listen to the majestic organ.

From the Frauenkirche tower there is a good overview of the whole of Munich. The cheerful Bavarians claim in all seriousness that the church was built with the help of an unlucky devil, whom the brave guys, of course, outwitted. There is even irrefutable evidence of the anger of an angry devil, which is proudly shown to tourists.

Another wonderful view of Munich opens from the baroque tower St. Michael's Cathedral, he is nearby. The observation deck can be reached by elevator.

The next point for today will be palace complex. In its beauty it outshines Versailles, although the French will not admit it. Fabulous Nymphenburg Palace surrounded by a French park, a bit reminiscent of the Summer Garden with its canals, statues, neat paths, bridges and benches.

New town. Allianz Arena

But it is best to postpone visiting this structure until dusk, then only then will you appreciate its true beauty.

The lighting of the building is so unusual that it is difficult to believe that Allianz is a human creation and not an alien object.

You can purchase team symbols and T-shirts in the stadium souvenir shop. In a restaurant Arena a la Carte By the way, it’s delicious, but the food is expensive. This is another reason to postpone your visit here until the afternoon in order to get to the restaurant closer to dinner.

BMW Museum

It’s good to plan on the second day, and for the second half of the day - a visit to Munich beer halls, the most famous of which is. It is also located in the center and every German will be happy to show the way. The beer here is very tasty, it is the hallmark of Munich.

A visit to pubs can last late into the night and continue into nightclubs, and a pleasant hop can turn into a severe hangover, so have a hearty snack (fortunately, snacks are often served for free) so that on the third day you can go to one of the fabulously beautiful castles.

You should talk about shopping in more detail. The “shopping mile,” as tourists call it, originates in the pedestrian area between the two squares Stachus and Marienplatz.

Luxury shopping with the latest fashion items of the highest standard can be found on Maximilianstrasse and Residenzstrasse. Seasonal discounts here are unprecedentedly generous - up to 90%. But you need to know the places.

Day three.
