A Trip To Munich

Hey, long time no see! I'm back with a blog post all about mine and Liam's recent trip to Munich for his late birthday present! Here's what we did along with a few photos...

DAY ONE

DAY ONE

We arrived in Munich the day before however it was late so we ordered food and went to sleep and got up early the next day! We set out very early, there was a bakery just outside our hotel so we stopped there for breakfast and it was fab. The first place we went to was the Nymphenburg Palace which was beautiful and it had a garden at the back which we walked around for a while. We then hired scooters (as always) and visited the Olympic Park, it was so high up and it was very windy so we didn't spend too long here but the views were amazing. We then visited the BMW Museum which was so interesting as they had old models of both motorbikes and cars, we grabbed lunch here too which was also nice! It was then that the day took a turn for the worst when we paid a visit to the Hofbrauhaus Brewery which is a huge beer hall where they serve the famous German steins. We had 2 steins each in here and then decided it would be a good laugh to carry on doing a pub crawl (not a good idea in Germany when the beer is ridiculously strong). Mid pub crawl we went to a burger restaurant for tea, it was called Hans Im Gluck and it was one of the nicest burgers I've ever had! We ended up in a nightclub and only got home at 3am. Let's just say the things we had planned for the next day did not go to plan...

DAY TWO

As day 2 was a bust - this is the only photo I have

So we had a lot to do on this day but due to my awful hangover, we only did a few things 🤣

First of all, we went to the bakery near our hotel again - the fresh orange juice somehow calmed my stomach. We then thought fresh air would help so we visited the English Gardens which is a huge park full of fields so we walked around there for about 2 hours! This is pretty much all we got done as I felt so sick (sorry Liam).

DAY THREE

DAY THREE

This day was a lot more successful as we had loads of things to do and we was going to watch Bayern Munich play! First of all, we visited the famous Marienplatz station which is where some of Four Out of Five  by the Arctic Monkeys was filmed. We then came out of the underground station and visited the New Town Hall which is the centre of the shopping square with different bars and restaurants. We then saw the Munich Residenz which we sadly didn't get to go inside as we had too much planned for the day but it's a former royal palace and the architecture inside is amazing! We then carried on to see the Isar River which is a gorgeous river running throughout Munich which then led us to Odeonsplatz, a large square in the centre of Munich. We then got photos outside of Karlsplatz which is again another square with bars and restaurants on the outside of it. The last thing we did before going to the football match was visit the Old Botanical Gardens which wasn't what we expected as the photos looked very different so we just sat there for a while before heading for food before the match. We went to an Irish pub which was full of English people watching football and the food was amazing. Afterwards, we set off for the football and it was amazing, we luckily had unbelievable seats for the price we paid (£45 each) and Bayern Munich won 2-0 against Augsburg. We then headed back to the Irish pub after the football and had some drinks there before heading home as we had to be on a flight early the next day and I still had a 2-day hangover.

I would highly recommend Munich to visit, its an amazing city break! The food and drinks are amazing and there is so much to do while you're there! Just make sure you take it easy on the beer (a lesson for next time oops).

Has anyone else been to Munich and been to any good places? Hope everyone is staying safe!
