Das Deutsche Museum ist riesig, man braucht mindestens einen ganzen Tag.
Das Hofbräuhaus ist voller Touristen, aber einmal muss man es gesehen haben.
Schloss Nymphenburg im Winter mit dem zugefrorenen Kanal ist traumhaft
Vom Alten Peter hat man den besten Blick auf die Frauenkirche, bei Föhn sieht man sogar die Alpen.
Viktualienmarkt am Samstag mit Weißwurst und Brezn, perfekt.
Der Englische Garten mit den Surfern am Eisbach, das gibt's nur in München 🏄
Allianz Arena als Sehenswürdigkeit? Na ja, für Bayern-Fans vielleicht 😄
