Day 216: Munich: Walking Tours and Exploring

Today I finally got to see some of Munich, outside of the park where the beer tents are.

I didn't know very much about the history of Munich, but some of the buildings we saw survived the war, and were over a thousand years old. A lot were rebuilt, and are even in the process of still being built though.

The guide knew some amazing history of the area, which I would never have even noticed. My favourite was Marienplatz with the Rathaus Glockenspeil clock, even though it is super touristy and honestly a little bit of a boring thing to watch. The fact it's actually about a royal wedding and the plague made it better.

I saw so many things, and spent the afternoon just wandering around the city, and tonight I have a nightbus again.

I also tried really hard to get into the BMW factory tour, but it had been booked out for the last 3 months for the Oktoberfest period, so I just had a quick look around the area instead.
