Oh the places we could go!




New places to visit should be a continuing topic. We've all been to Munich many times, so while some can be seen again and again (like Kloster Andechs), others are not viable candidates for the agenda due to a high cost to value ratio (like Rothenburg, Neuschwanstein, Bamberg, Berchsgarten). Value being a subjective assessment of enjoyment. Sadly the ISAR raft trips don't run that late in the year (would be fun). My postings will be focused on the new trips we can take.

First up a local Munich Favorite: Residenz Royal Palace (OK, I think I have been here, but never inside)

The Residence (German: Residenz) is the former royal palace of the Bavarian monarchs in the city center of Munich. The Residence is the largest downtown palace in Germany and serves today as one of the finest room decoration museums in Europe.

Königsbau of Munich Residence

The complex of buildings contains ten courtyards and the museum displays 130 rooms. The three main parts are the Königsbau (near the Max-Joseph-Platz), the Alte Residenz (towards the Residenzstraße) and the Festsaalbau (towards the Hofgarten). A wing of the Festsaalbau contains the Cuvilliés Theatre since the reconstruction of the Residence after World War II.

I think the inside was closed when we went before. I'm in, I love museums. I absolutely want to go to Englisher gardens. Haven't been there since our first trip!

I'm all for new places, part of these trips is about discovery. I would recommend a return trip to Bräustüberl Tegernsee since BarleyMan, Paulaner Girl and RodG have not been there.

Ok I tried to look at the website but it's all in German. Large man drinking beer. Is it a brew haus or what?

Chugger said...

Yes, a brew haus, with some of the most beautiful scenery on a lake, the Tergensee.

Maybe our friend, and guiding light, Herr Larry can shed some more light. Check this out http://www.beerdrinkersguide.com/BDGWebsite/Gardens/BrauTegernsee.htm
