Our first full day in Munich was spent at the Deutsches Museum and a walking tour of the inner city of Munich. The Deutsches Museum is the world’s largest science and technology museum. Our guide walked us through the highlights since we only had an hour and a half to walk through. Much like the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., you would need at least 3 full days to take in all the exhibits. It was cool to see an Enigma machine from WWII and the first Z3 programmable calculator.
The walking tour through Munich was amazing. Most of the city was destroyed during the bombing runs by the Allies but the rebuild efforts have paid off. Munich is known for their beer houses and Oktoberfest. As we walked you could see beer houses tucked away in various alleyways. I stopped for lunch at Zum Spöckmeier close to St. Mary’s square and had some really nice dark beer from Paulaner Brewery.
I have a free day on Wednesday and plan to go back through the town and take some photos.
