Where can someone: go surfing, walk around totally naked in the park,
and go to a huge beer festival?
You probably already got it from the title that the answer is Munich.
Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad.
Let's see if I can actually keep this video under 5 minutes as promised.
Only behind Berlin and Hamburg, Munich is the third largest city in Germany, and is
the capital of Bavaria.
But as many people who live here will tell you, it really feels more like this huge sprawling
village than a busy, bustling city.
Munich doesn't seem to have that rush, rush, rush feeling of a lot of cities.
I mean just 5 minutes from the main downtown city center is the English Garden, one
of the largest urban parks in the whole world.
And here just around the corner from downtown, there is one of several naked zones in the city.
Areas where people are allowed to walk around completely naked.
There's also another one of these naked zones by the Isar River.
But there's more to do in the English Garden and on the Isar River than just lounging around
in your birthday suit.
In the summer the park is packed with people relaxing by the river, grilling, sunbathing,
biking, and surfing.
Yes, that's right. Surfing!
Even after living here for 7 years and knowing about the surfing spots, I still can't help
but do a double-take every time I see someone on the U-Bahn or walking around the city dressed
in a wetsuit, carrying a surfboard.
It's always like, where are you going?
Oh, that's right.
In addition to all of that, the most famous beer festival in the world, the Oktoberfest,
takes place in Munich, so it's probably no surprise to hear that beer plays a special
role in Munich life.
In the summer it's guzzled in the beer gardens.
In the last two weeks of September and the first week of October, it's consumed in the
Oktoberfest tents one liter at a time.
What surprises you more: that millions of liters of beer are consumed each year at the
Oktoberfest; that the Oktoberfest actually began as a royal wedding celebration for
Crown Prince Ludwig in 1810; or that the Oktoberfest actually mostly takes place in September?
But don't let all this lounging around naked by the river and beer drinking fool you, Munich
is also a city that means business.
Munich is home to lots of different companies including tech, automotive, and
engineering companies.
And people in Munich work in all sorts of sectors from media to IT to publishing to
science to engineering, but the offices are spread out kind of all throughout the city,
so there's not really one downtown business district.
Okay, I'm not sure how much more time I have left.
But let's just go for a quick-fire round now, see how much I can get in.
Munich is home lots of big and little beer gardens around the city.
And what makes a beer garden different from outside seating?
That would be that you are allowed to bring your own food, but you have to buy your drinks
from the beer garden.
There's even a beer garden at the airport, and they brew their own beer.
The city hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, and the stadium is still here, and now it's
used for concerts and other events.
In the winter Christmas markets pop up all around town, selling warm mulled wine,
bratwursts, wooden crafts and small other knickknacks, and all kinds of delicious sweets.
Munich's name actually derived from the fact that there were monks settled in the area.
The Deutsches Museum in Munich is huge.
According to its website, it's one of the largest and, opened in 1903, one of the oldest
science and technology museums in the world.
And last but not least, Munich loves dogs.
They're not allowed in the supermarkets, but in a lot of shops, cafes, and restaurants,
they're not just allowed in, but they're warmly welcomed with a bowl of water.
And if they're not allowed in, sometimes there's a dog parking sign for people to leave their dogs.
Oh, it's so cute!
So my question for you is: Have you ever visited Munich and what was your experience here?
Please let me know in the comments below.
Thanks so much for watching.
I really hope that you enjoyed this video.
More videos down in the description below and in the info on this side.
Until next time, auf Wiedersehen!
In the winter the Christmas par, parkets...the Christmas parkets.
Here in Munich...
That's it. Just here in Munich.
Munich is a...is...
We did it!
