Munich: 10 Things That Shock Tourists in Munich

I was stationed in Munich for 32 months (Dec 64-Aug 67) and I enjoyed every minute of it. Back in those days, it wasn't quite as polished as now and a hell of a lot cheaper. A liter of beer in the beerhalls was about DM 1.35 around 35 cents US. And now the very best bierhalle is gone, the Mathaser Bierstadt (beer city) It was the largest beer hall and the most fun, like being in an Oktoberfest beer tent every day. Then there were all the dance clubs in Schwabing, The Big Apple, The PN Hit House, and others, where you could see soon to be famous bands. Even Jimi Hendrix played the Big Apple. And all the jazz clubs, oh I miss those days.

I was in Munich two weeks ago with another American friend, and a friend from North Germany. I booked for September thinking I'd avoid Oktoberfest, but we were there for the first day. I usually don't care for crowded tourist traps, but it was amazingly fun. We were able to find a seat just outside a beer hall, and had an great time and made new friends. We were on a bench with Russians, Mexicans, and Germans. The fairgrounds has to hold at least 100k people who are all getting sloshed and having a blast. The countryside around Neuschwanstein is so beautiful it's absurd. We had a great time exploring the area, and had lunch just over the border in Austria. The castle tour itself is rushed, and a bit of a disappointment. Honestly the best trip I've ever had. Bavaria is such a fantastic place, and everyone is warm and friendly.

you forget my favorite part of my hometown. No matter the season there are always surfers surfing on the Eisbach

Being a German living near the Dachau Concentration Camp, I cannot stress the importance of N°9 enough. Do not take your selfies and stupid duckface pictures over there. It is incredibly disrespectful and a straight insult to the people who actually had to suffer for years in this place.

Spent my 21st birthday in Munich. It was the best decision I've ever made. Absolutely desperate to go back!

Considering you are standing at Marienhof, which has been a giant construction site for the past year and a half, this seems to be a rather old video. But great, even for me as a local :-)

Here now, enjoying wonderful Munich! And yes, the people are very friendly!

Just got back from Germany. Loved your Germany videos! You're right; the locals we dealt with were wonderful, helpful, and just absolutely lovely!

i loved Munich its a beautiful city, so organised . One of the best railway systems i have seen .The architecture is breathtaking . Loved the B.M.W museum and the beer and food is awesome.

Thank you so much for your videos! Gives me ideas for my trips.

I've been binge watching your videos since I saw the first one. Loved them! Loved your vibe!

thank you for loving my City, God bless you, Wolter !

I went to Munich last week. OMG it's awesome I love it. I tried the weisswurst with the sweet mustard; all I can say is that it tasted very good indeed. Although, I ate the casing lol. Overall, I really enjoyed the trip and looking forward to go to Munich again to see the Neuschwanstein castle.

Been to München many times. Love visiting that city and the area. And definitely will return. I was surprised to see so many surfers in Englisher Park surfing the Eisbach river. Very fun to watch.

Great video! Thank you for saying so many nice things about Munich & Bavaria ;D

Another great video! Thank you! I am Bavarian and living in Munich my whole life. You did a great job Wolter! We have so many wonderful Museums and many castles not far away, for example Linderhof, also from Ludwig ll and last but not least the beautiful nature. Lakes like Starnberg See, Chiemsee and not far away also the mountains. You are right here is so much to see! I Love my city and I am glad you like it too! Thanks again!😀

Thank you so much for making that beautiful video about my hometown and stressing that there's so much more to Munich than just the beer :-)

I’m heading to Munich tomorrow, this is perfect. Thanks!

Thank you for giving so much love to my hometown. You are very respectful and informative. No wonder that locals in all the places you visit love your videos. (Form a Münchner Kindl currently in North Carolina exile 😝)

I missed so much when I was in Munich - so close to all those places, but no smart phones in 1984
