TRAVEL/ MUNICH IN DECEMBER

Hey there peeps.

Munich, what a nice city! 

Especially during Advents season. I mean, look at the pictures! It was my second trip to Munich and I fell in love.

You could literally feel the Christmas spirit. All the lights and Christmas trees, the smell of hot spiced wine and gingerbread in the air when you are walking past the stands. It really put me into a christmassy mood.

In this post I put together my favorite places to shop, to eat, to have a drink or just to do touristic stuff and stroll around town.

So when you plan to go to Munich, here you go!

(If you don't, definitely plan to go!)

Shoppingtips:

&other stories

Sendlinger Strasse 4

Zara Home

Fürstenfelderstrasse 13

COS

Münchgasse 3

Galeria Kaufhof 

(big shopping mall)

Kaufingerstrasse 1-5

You can find the usual stores like H&M, Mango, Zara, Douglas and Co. in the center of the city around the Marienplatz and in the Kaufingerstrasse as well.

 Sights:

From the end of November until Christmas the Münchner Christkindlmarkt (Christmas-market in Munich) is taking place. It is in the center of the city around the Marienplatz. You won't miss it!

There is also a Christmas market in the "English Garden", called Weihnachtsmarkt am Chinesischen Turm. 

When you don't go there during Advents season you can just visit the "Chinesischer Turm" and the "Englischer Garten". A must also in summer.

Food:

Rischart 

Max Rischart's Backhaus KG

Marienplatz 18

A really nice bakery/café where you can have breakfast on the second floor or just fresh sandwiches for lunch to go. I will definitely go there again! 

Maybe include some extra time to wait to be seated, it's quite crowded. But good food means a lot of people, right? It's worth it.

Corneliusstrasse 2

Sunday morning brunch spot we tried. Well hellooo! So nice! Such polite staff and a lot of good food. We took the "Honeymoon breakfast" (Cute, right?). You should try that out as well, even if you aren't lovebirds. But make sure to make a reservation before.

Hofbräuhaus

Platzl 9

Okay, this is a must! On every tourist-tour. We had dinner at the Hofbräuhaus. It is really traditional German food like Sauerkraut, different meat (suckling pig, roast or Leberkäs), Knödel (kind of a dumpling made of potatoes or bread) and a beer of course. (Man, that liter got me.)

Even if you don't go there to eat, just go in and let the atmosphere sink in. You gotta see this at least once.

Schumanns Bar

Odeonsplatz 6+7

Now maybe one of the best known Bars worldwide. Very classy and old atmosphere mixed with modern details and people. Go there and have a drink! 

Maybe you will meet Pep Guardiola as well..(Yep, we did! So exiting!) (Oh, for all the non-football-fans, that's the coach from FC Bayern München)

So let me know what your favorites in Munich are! What should I visit next time and what do you think about posts like this?

TRAVEL/ WHEN IN MILANO I

All photos by me.

Hey there peeps.

One thing I really love to do is traveling.

In my opinion one should collect moments, experiences and memories, not things. (Except shoes, of course.) 

What often stands in my way is the money, or more likely the lack of money. *High five fellow students*

But because I really (really) love to travel, I just try to get away for little money. The faraway places I might put off for later in my life but there are so much beautiful places to go to not so far away. Like you might know, I live in Switzerland and that's quite in the middle of Europe. So there are a lot of nice cities and places "near" me. 

When I go collect memories on my travel journeys, I plan to share them with you. So that's another new category, kind of. 

So on the occasion of (throwback-)thursday...

In the end of October I was in Milan with my dear friend Leila.

This time I don't really remember all the shops, bars, restaurants and places we went to. Maybe I can share them with you when I go back. And I suppose I will because Milan is beautiful! I mean, look at the pictures!

Next stop, Munich on the weekend. So stay tuned for the next TRAVEL-post (this time with some travel-tips).
