A wise man once told me no trip to Munich is complete if you don’t go down to Marienplatz. Well for all my newbie readers: Marienplatz is the heart of Munich. One of the must see things is the Glockenspiel which is a famous clock which chimes every day at 11 in the morning and 5 in the evening. So run along quickly and make sure you’re there to see its 43 bells go ring-a-ding and a lot of figurines also move and dance around in their own whimsical way. And my favorite is when the little birdie comes out at the end of the show.

Another one of my personal favorites is the farmers market which you can see daily right outside Viktualienmarkt. I’ve been told this market has its history set from the early 19 Century and it still continues to be one of the biggest attractions.  For all my foodie lovers and chefs, this is your place to go and to be. And don’t forget to look out especially fresh baked pretzels and juicy strawberries and cherries you’ll see there.

There’s a lot more to be seeing and doing in Munich. I guess that’s the beauty of living here. You get too see it all if you just set out armed with some water and tons of sunscreen .
