About Munich
Munich centers on Marienplatz with the New Town Hall and nearby Viktualienmarkt. The English Garden stretches north with open lawns and the Chinesischer Turm. Frauenkirche rises above the streets while the Hofgarten sits close to the Residenz.
Nymphenburg Palace stands west in formal grounds. The city fits a trip of several days that combines historic buildings with time in parks and markets. Walks between sites like Königsplatz and the Alte Pinakothek work well here.
