A Perfect Day: Munich in One Day

My perfect day starts with a coffee at home, then I grab my camera and head out. My first stop is the Botanical Garden. Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved going there. The exotic plants from all over the world made me long for faraway places. In the greenhouses, I feel like I’m in a jungle in Southeast Asia.

The Deutsches Museum is located on an island in the Isar. It’s a great museum of technology that I’ve been visiting since I was a kid.

I have a lunch snack at Daddy Longlegs. Not only do they have the nicest staff, they also serve Bali-style delicacies. 

Suitably fortified, I continue on to my other favorite museum, the Pinakothek der Moderne.

Munich is beautifully green, and I love a morning walk along the Isar River – or meeting friends there in the evening.

A quick detour to the Viktualienmarkt, whose stalls with fresh food and specialties always delight me.

Roast pork with dumplings is a must – and at Donisl it tastes as good as at my grandma’s.

For a cocktail, I like to go to Yum Thai, an Asian bar-restaurant with great lighting and acoustics. By the way: they serve the best pad thai here outside of Bangkok.

I like to end the evening in the club in Maxvorstadt with good music and good conversation.

Enjoy a large selection of Bavarian delicacies on a guided Viktualienmarkt tour. As a side dish, they are accompanied by interesting stories about the local specialties. Bookable via GetYourGuide. 

Manfred Samhuber comes from Munich and is a flight attendant for Lufthansa. He loves to explore the world with his camera. For him, his hometown of Munich is the perfect mix of nature, shopping, and cuisine. And of course, only here in Bavaria you'll get to eat the perfect roast pork.
