Munich from a bird's eye view
Description:
The first acquaintance with Munich can be compared with the ascent to the 90-meter tower "Old Peter", where from a bird's eye view you look at the Old Town and create a general, bright, first impression of it.
A general, bright, first impression is also created during a short bus and walking tour.
It begins at the eastern Isar gate of the Old City. We drive the winding road of the Old Ring, where alleys, parks, flowerbeds flash green, from the city's ancient fortifications there are very few monuments.
By the 19th century, the city was replanned and received new buildings, from this time many impressive sights came to us.
One of them is the Royal Square. Planned already in 1811 on the antique model, the square began to be built a few years later, by the architect Leo Klenze. This is the largest square in Munich. It is decorated with the Doric gate of Propylaea, as well as the entrance to the Athenian Acropolis.
Behind the gate is the world’s most famous, thanks to the great artist, citizen of Russia and Germany Vasily Kandinsky, the city art gallery “Villa Lenbach”.
The bus part of the tour will also help us see the city on both sides of the Isar River. The 265 km long Isar River originates in the Alps and flows into the Danube River.
Gradually, a circular and multifaceted picture of today’s Munich is emerging.
The tour ends with a pedestrian part among the boiling life of the city center.
Yes, today you only had a small stop in Munich, but the tour introduced you to the city and invited you to visit it one more time or ... several times!
