MUNCHEN - MARIEN PLATZ

January, 2006...
 
Munich has many old churches and buildings, and many of them have a clock on top.

Check out the intricate details of the buildings.  You could stand in one place in the middle of Marien Platz and take many photos and see something interesting in every shot.

A building without a clock?

Outside Marien Platz is this outdoor ice rink.  The little dancing bears in the photo help the kids (and adults...) learn to iceskate. We just watched on the side.  This was mid-afternoon in January where the sun goes down fairly early in the day.  Multi-colored lights highlight the skaters.

Marien Platz is the main plaza in Center City Munich. Surrounded by old century churches, government buildings & shops. This is not downtown, but everyone knows where Marien Platz is located.

Do we look like tourist in Marien Platz?

This outdoor ice arena was complete with an open-air bar where we enjoyed the best beer and brats as we watched the iceskaters.  What a fun afternoon in Munich after a morning of sightseeing.

greatshopping.jpg

Many wonderful old buildings & monument towers all over Munich.  These are located in or near Marien Platz.  Lots of shopping as well.  The photo above was taken about 3pm when the sun was setting for the January day.

sleepertrain.jpg

We took the night "sleeper" train from Amsterdam to Munich and arrived about 7am.  That was an interesting experience that you just need to do when traveling in Europe.  However, we have some pointers if you decide to try it.  Experience is a good teacher...
