How to get there
Munich/city center
Steps: Munich
This first immersion begins with a relaxed stroll through the heart of the city, simply to soak up the atmosphere of Munich. Start at Karlstor, then walk down Neuhauser shopping street to Marienplatz, the town hall square. On the way, take time to admire the interior ofMichel Church at 52 Neuhauserstraße. Stop for lunch at a pastry shop on Marienplatz and, if you arrive before noon, stand in front of the Town Hall carillon to see its little figures emerge. From Marienplatz, continue along Dienerstraße, then Residenzstraße, towards the museum. Visit the Treasure Room. Walk to the beautiful Odeonplatz, and admire the majesty of the building, with its architecture worthy of the greatest capitals. Return via Theathinerstraße and Weinstraße and take a look at the luxurious boutiques.

Munich/Direction Hofgarten and English Garden
Steps: Munich
Starting point, the Cuvilliés Theatre. Discover the back of the Residenz and its garden, then continue to the English Garden. Climb the embankment to the Monopteros temple for a view of Munich' s spires and a look at the Japanisches Teehaus. Dine in a Biergarten. In the afternoon, why not stroll along the banks of the Isar, especially in summer? Since the major works undertaken to make the riverbanks more accessible, Munich's residents never tire of spending their weekends fishing, playing sports and, above all, enjoying an aperitif along the river. And it's not impossible to come across nudists.
