Munich Thoughts

[STEbbq]

DogFaced PonySoldier So, we didn’t really do a lot in Munich other than visit Marienplatz and the related markets. It was mostly spent with my sister. I would recommend trying to visit Rothenburg for an overnight trip. It is a beautiful small town from the medieval times with lots of wonderful shops and good food. The houses are stunning.

Marienplatz and the food markets should be amazing though, and we spent hours sampling and trying things. I had a wagyu beef sandwich with Mayo, an ox sandwich with onions (this was much better than the wagyu) we bought wonderful coffees, and some lovely gingerbread. We also saw dried eggplant and had yummy sweet pickles.

Rothenburg meal: gyro meat with melted cheese mixed with mushrooms and sauce. Yum.

And because I have nowhere else to post it. Deep fried sushi from Estonia of all places….

Here is the best place for schnitzel in Munich. It was glorious. Bring a empty stomach as the portions are huge!

That's awesome, I already had Andy's on the list!

[STEbbq]

Note Andy’s is cash only!

And my very tasty pork knuckle and potatoes. And now my airplane is taking off!

oh man, those are sooooo good. I've been meaning to have a go at trying to make them.......

Also on our list, I've been drooling over these on YouTube videos.

Can be a bit pricey but it was good!

[gboss]

Wow! looks like you had some delicious food on your trip!

[DogFaced PonySoldier]

Thanks for the tips! You definitely reinforced my plan for Munich. Andy's is on our list for sure, and a couple other places. I have it on my computer at home, so I can't remember offhand, but I'll check.

We sadly only have one FULL day in Munich. We arrive late on the 5th and leave early on the 7th. The morning of the 6th we're going to Dachau, then come back and spend the afternoon going through Marienplatz and hope to hit the English Gardens and a few more sights.

There'll lots of pictures - of landmarks AND of food!

Thanks again STEbbq!

In Munich, we enjoy the chinese beer garden park area.

and there's always a day trip to nearby Neuschwanstein Castle (aka the castle in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)

Dachau was worth it. Obviously very sad but powerful.

[rlozinak]

The food and scenery look fabulous

Been to Dachau, very very dark.
They have an awesome science museum in Munich, can’t remember name, was there in ‘92

[STEbbq]

Yes it is this one I think : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsches_Museum

I would avoid as apparently 50% of the place is closed for renovations.

Explore the Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich. Former palace converted to a museum. I went there in 1974. Beautiful!

[DogFaced PonySoldier]

Nymphenburg is also on our list - I don't know if we'll have the time to see it though. I still remember the Schloss Schonbrunn we saw in Vienna- holy CRAP!

I was in Rothenburg back in 2001. What a cool and interesting place. One thing that really struck me as odd was the McDonald’s right on the main drag. Oh it was very well disguised with just a tiny sign out front showing only the golden arches but inside was all Mc’D’s in every way. Weird in a medieval town.

[STEbbq]

Saw it too. It is weird.

That said, I felt way stranger eating McDonald’s at the Dachau bus station location.

[Murdy]

We used to stop at the McDonald's in the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof for a beer while waiting for the train.

Use to travel to Germany on business for many years. Threw a few Oktoberfests in that mix too. The food was fantastic along with the views. Glad you got a chance to experience it. Great country to visit.

Great to see a Dutch cheese shop in Germany with the signage in English selling not just any Dutch cheese but premium Dutch cheese. Not sure what premium Dutch cheese is supposed to be, even as a Dutchman. Perhaps anything but the bog standard Edam cheese would qualify.

You must have had some Münchner Bier to wash away all these delicacies
