Home of the Oktoberfest

#myhiddengems No, this is not going to be about drinking. Nor was i lucky enough for my trip to happen during Oktoberfest. But hey this Bavarian city is home to Oktoberfest. This alone is a reason for me to visit Munich. Having said so there were other reasons too. Several others, but topping the list were things like Pretzels and Weissewurst. Since this wasn't the peak season, i was able to find a decent hostel in the old town. A place which is generally more pricey than other locations. But you see with only 2 nights for Munic I had to save time. And being in the old town would allow for easy exploration and getting to places. By the way plenty of options here even if you prefer staying at a hostel, hotel or a higher end accommodation. As mentioned earlier most of the action is indeed around the old town. Having arrived before noon. The first day was planned purely for the old town which had so much to see. Beginning with Marienpletz where you have the clock and several heritage points. This was followed by the church of our lady. I think i might have paid around 8 euros to enter.Soon enough it was noon and I felt I could lunch or sip on something. Luckily, Hofbräuhaus, the infamous beer hall in the Old Town appeared. It is a large, family-style table places, I did what everyone was doing. Bought a beer and some food, made some new friends and relished some Bavarian live music. For dinner too I opted a place that serve traditional Bavarian food. Next day part of my itinerary were the memorial site of Dachau concentration camp. To get there, first I took a train to Dachau and then a bus to Saubachsiedlung. Upon returning I met up with some friends from the hostel and dedicated the remainder of the day and night to two different Biergartens. It was good fun. #myhiddengems #cherryblossom2024 #100waysoftravel #germany #bavaria #munich #summerdestinations
