DAY 4 | MUNICH – NEW SWAN CASTLE – REUTTE

 Travelling towards Olympic city of Munich this morning. (300km journey)
Pass by the BMW Museum before the Olympic stadium.
BMW Museum & Olympic Stadium.
Stop at Munich Olympic stadium. For the 1972 Olympic Games, the Germans, not only created a mini landscape of South Germany's Bavaria state out from the old air field, developers actually utilized the debris of the 2nd war, to fill this vast land. We now see lakes, hill and open gardens, gracing the site. You are free for 45 minutes to stroll and enjoy the park.

The heart of MarienPlatz.

Florence at the heart of MarienPlatz.
Marienplatz is a central square in the city centre of Munich, Germany. It has been the city's main square since 1158.

Juicy fruity fruits


We enter the city, and stop some distance from the Town Hall. The pedestrian zone leads you to the heard of MarienPlatz, in time to watch the lively clock striking the hour. Stop here for an hour to grab a German sausage on your own.

Visit to the Luxembourg City's gorgeous churches. The history, the architecture, which amazes me.
