The city of Munich in Germany, I would highly recommend to view. I do not know how the rest of the country, but there is a feeling that the whole progress is concentrated here, either because of the BMW museum, or because of its sharpened under cyclists. I can only compare with Berlin, where everything is wrong, where this was not felt, and small towns along the way more resembled toy villages with locks.
The end of our stay program in Munich was walk through the center of the old town.

Munich old town
The old city of Munich is similar to all other old cities. Europe. At least for me, since I am not strong in styles architecture. Narrow streets, paved with stones, houses very tightly to each a friend with tiled roofs, small benches. The old part is not very large, and sometimes modernized storefronts.

Market in the center of Munich
In the center of the old town on MarianPlatz square, located on the same metro station there are two town halls – the old and the new. So, around the New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) at a certain time the crowd of tourists stops waiting for a musical performance. Actually, when I saw how many people in the square, I thought, Now there will be something unusual. However, everything was limited to dancing metal figures, if you can call it that, they made a couple circles, waved handles. Although 100 years ago, it was probably grandly.

Parking in Munich
Separately, I want to tell you about parking as it is important for those who will see the sights of Munich. We are not have seen free parking, on all streets are signs paid parking and Parktrometers. And there are two types of streets: on one you can not stand more than two hours (1 euro per hour), you can stand on others hours (1 euro per hour) and one day (6 euros per day). Moreover, where there is a daily payment, the night is free (from 18.00 to 9.00). Thus, leaving in the morning, and returning in the evening, you will will have to pay.
Note that Parktrometers accept either coins or plastic cards. And the cards are probably not all, ours did not work.
There is free parking in Munich, but there are very few of them and you need to either know the coordinates in advance, or have time in stock on the search. Here is a small list of such parking lots. As a rule, they are all far from sights of munich.
