A Few Sights in Munich

Now that most of the administrative matters have been taken care of, it's time to get to know Munich! Today I went on an interesting walking tour called the "Third Reich Tour."

This is the inside of the "Hofbraeuhaus" where the meetings of the German Workers' Party took place and where Hitler got his start. It's a beer hall and restaurant still in use today.

The tour started at the Marienplatz, in front of this building called the new city hall. You can see the figurines that are part of the Glockenspiel way up high on the building.

This is the old city hall. It looks newer than the new city hall above because it was completely destroyed in World War II and had to be rebuilt.

There's a lot to discover here!
