We just spent about one and half day in Munich to visit the best places in the city and to see how is life in a such a big city. The city is really beautiful but for me is really agglomerated. We just spent about 3 hours to find the street where Dan's friend work to have a good place to park the car.

In the first day we visited the famous industrial museum Deutsches Museum. This was the best museum I ever visited, because the things there are lot more closer to me than any sculpture or painting.

Plains, boats, cars, engines, satellites, rowers from NASA moon project, giant telescopes, planetarium, and a lot of things. One day is not enough to see everything there. A lot of exposition has moving parts, some moved electrically or by the laws of physics, and you can touch, try a lot of them.

We visited the one of the famous parks in Munich named Olympia Park, with a lake in the middle and the Olympia tower which has a rotating restaurant at the top. You can also walk even above the restaurant and you can see the whole city.

From there you can see the BMW factory, the Alliantz Arena football arena, and the Englischer Garten Park.

In the second day we had a great walk around the Englischer Garten and we also tried a paddle boat on the lake in the middle of the park. Of course here also a lot of ducks :)

Along with Bavaria as a self-governing state, Munich is a wonderful European capital. It is now the home to chief conglomerates BMW and Siemens. Moreover, the city provides a laid-back, southern European sophisticated feel, making it largely known among tourists. It is uncertain whether Munich’s real name roots from a German word for monks which is Mönchen and a nearby monastery, or to the old European term Munica, that means “place on the riverbank.” Below are significant events and turning points of Munich as a city: -During the later part of 18th century, Munich grew very fast and was among the biggest cities all over Europe....
