MUNICH: Attractions and Culinary Delights Not to be Missed!
Very flamboyant design it is here even before the city existed a building perform for you we initially thought it is not a real skeleton it was the emperor bakery this attraction involved a lot of walking the oldest brewery here in Munich
Today we start our day here at Munich, Germany. And our very first attraction of the day is the church behind us called the Assam church. So what’s so interesting about this church, other than the fact that is quite a narrow church? It is a private chapel built by the
Assam family and they bought four houses here, 1 2 3 4 and demolished the second and the third house to build the church. From the inside of the church, there are a lot of small details and the architecture and the design are very unique compared to any other
Churches that we visited. So far it’s term as a very flamboyant design. Pretty interesting place to visit if you are in Munich, Germany. But do take note that every day around 10a.m. to 11a.m. They are closed for visitor because it’s their holy mess. So yeah join us as we
Explore more of Munich today. And we will see you at each of the attraction. Bye-bye And our second attraction is this plaza behind us and it’s called the Marienplatz. It’s a modern shopping center with a very old facade. As you can see,
There’s a lot of people trying to take pictures of it on Marienplatz itself. There is a famous clock it’s called the Rathaus-Glockenspiel. So this is the most delightful clock in the world and it will perform three times a day 11:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Beside the clock,
There is a pillar called the Mariensäule pillar. Overall it’s a very nice square to head to if you are in Munich. And if possible stay to view the performance because it’s very rare that you see a building perform for you or a clock perform for you. We are probably heading to our next
Attraction which is just a few minutes away and it is the St Peter Cathedral. Another very unique building. Actually the architecture here is very different so you have the white building in front of us and all the different buildings. And suddenly you have
This gothic style plaza and just now just a few minutes walk away is the Assam Church which is another architectural style. Very special place. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Munich Just a few steps away from Marienplatz. This is the St Peters’s church and this is the oldest
Church in Munich. It is here even before the city existed. Even though it’s really old, it is very well maintained. And while we were here they were actually still doing some maintenance to this building. And as you enter the church, on your left,
There is a glass coffin baring the skeleton of Saint Munditia. We initially thought it is not a real skeleton but as it turns out it is a skeleton. And she is holding a glass of blood. Okay we’ll head to our next attraction and we’ll see you when we get there
We are here at the Munich daily market. And even though we are very full from our lunch, we still decided to buy a pretzel from the bakery behind. So in the olden days it was the emporer’s bakery. So definitely cannot miss this. And we bought the pretzel. From the online website,
They mentioned that the pretzel is the specialty of this bakery and also the specialty of Germany. So yep let me have another bite. It taste exactly like the pretzel snack but it has an additional layer of bread in this bretzel. They called it bretzel here. Very good. And we
Bought the smaller size one. They also sell a bigger size one. I think it’s a five times of this size. So you can consider to buy that if you haven’t have any food before you come here. Do remember to visit this bakery when you are here at the Munich daily market.
Okay I’ll put the daily market name here because I don’t know how to pronounce it. Okay and we are just done visiting another attraction here in Munich and you can see that we are sitting down. And the reason why is because this attraction involved a lot of walking.
The attraction is the Residenzmuseum. It is a very huge place to visit and it took us about 2.5 hours to visit the entire attraction. And so like most of the residences or like most of the palaces
That we have visited. It has a lot of different rooms and this has probably the most room open for visitors. Even though we didn’t count how many rooms we visited but from the description, there are 130 rooms in this residence. So most of the rooms are also as nice and as grand as
The other palaces or the other castles that we have visited. But I think that the rooms here are a little bit more practical and not really very lavish design. I think the most lavish still goes
To the Palace of Versailles. Nothing can beat the palace if you were to read its history you will know why. It took a lot of effort and probably lives to construct the palace. I think there is also a very big difference between the Palace of Versailles and the Residenzmuseum that is the
Style of the Palace of Versailles is more of the gothic style and for here they are using like the white wall with gold border. I personally feel it is more stylish. We are not trying to compare the Palace of Versailles with the Residenzmuseum here in Munich. But because the Palace of Versailles
Was the previous attraction that we visited that is very similar to this attraction. Both are good though. If you are in Paris and if you are in Munich visit both of them. It’s definitely worth the visit here in this Residenzmuseum. The ticket to tour the residence and the palace is €9
But you can also top up to tour the treasury as well as the theatre. So because we don’t really have much time, we only visited the residence and the palace. And yeah I think we are already very very tired from all the walking. Most of the attraction here in Munich is actually very
Close to each other so most of the time you will be walking to each of them. Be prepared if you want to cover all of them within a day. You probably have to walk quite a lot.
So next up we will be heading for dinner and we will see you when we get there. Byebye byebye A tip about Google Maps is that if you look at a city or look at an area. And it will most of the
Time shows you some small pictures of very famous attraction. And this is actually one of them, we are now in Hofbräuhaus Munich. And this is a very very old brewery. It is one of the oldest or the oldest brewery here in Munich. The fun fact about this brewery is that Hitler actually
Formed his Nazi party here and this has been used for their base of operations throughout the war. And that is also why towards the end of the war this building has been severely bombed.
But it has since been renovated and it is now a restaurant as well as a beer garden. So we are here of course to taste their original beer. So it doesn’t have the very bitter taste like most beer
Had. We are not really beer drinkers but this beer we actually do like it a lot. Very refreshing, not very very bitter. Very very good beer. Our first dish has arrived and it is the original sausage. They called it the original HB sausage. Add a little bit of mustard. Taste
Test. Not as saltish as I expected. Actually you can really taste the meat and uh I guess it’s pork really well. Normally this kind of sausages they are very salty. And you can actually taste that it is a bit process but this one is really good. Definitely a good
Start. We’ll have this while we wait for the mainn dish which is the pork knuckle. Our pork knuckle has arrived and it looks really very delicious. It smells very delicious also. So let’s see how crispy it is. This is
The crispy test. It is very hard to cut. Almost there. Yes, okay the crispy test. Very crispy, very fat, really very very good. Okay Bonnie say to save some for her so I won’t eat the rest. I shall go on to the meat. There’s actually quite a
Lot of meat here. I just cut a small piece. So the side is actually quite fatty also. I think you need some skill to dissect this pork knuckle. Taste test. For the meat… Wow. the texture is really very very good. I almost couldn’t imagine this
Is pork. It actually tastes like a chicken drumstick. Very very good texture. Smooth, soft, tender, very good. If you here in Munich, come here and buy their pork knuckle. And get their original beer and get their sausage. Double thumbs up!
We initially thought this was potato but it turns up to be some kind of a flour or dough when we bite into it. It feels like we are eating ‘kueh’ but it doesn’t have any taste to it. So we
Need to dip a lot of the sauce and eat it. Very chewy, doesn’t have a taste. It’s just very chewy like chewy dough. Very much like the kueh without the sugar. Very interesting. Our after meal dessert because we are very tired and we don’t want to search for another
Dessert shop. So we ordered the apple strudel. I feel that the apple strudel is slightly small. But if it tastes good, it is worth it. There’s a lot of sauce around the apple strudel. So I will
Taste it with the sauce. It is very different from the apple strudel that we usually eat in the sense that they put a lot of raisin, apple and the top layer is just a thin layer of a pie
Skin. And the bottom also is another thin layer of pie skin then in the middle is all the apple slices. And then the sauce give me a feeling that it is actually coconut. Based on the menu, they mentioned that the sauce is a vanilla sauce. So overall it is a very unique apple
Strudel. I think this is a German style apple strudel. So you can try this while you are here. I think I’m pretty drunk so I don’t know what I’m talking now We are now beside a river at English Garden. Yes you didn’t hear me wrong, this is a river. This is a very unique river in a sense that a lot of people will surf here and I feel that it’s
Really a very good place to surf because the wave is always here. You don’t need to wait for the wave to come. It’s also very interesting to watch people surf. This is our last attraction in Munich and we hope you enjoy watching our video we will see you in our next video. bye-bye
We are now in our next country: Germany! And the city we chose to visit, Munich. Our original plans of visiting the Neuschwanstein Castle was dashed as all of its slot was fully booked while we were there (do book your tickets in advance if you wish to go there!) and so we decided to visit as much attractions as possible in Munich city. Join us as we check out what Munich has to offer (spoiler alert: a lot!).
