G is for Germany, a country I’ve visited a few times, but the first occasion was when we had a day trip to Munich during our holiday to the Austrian Tyrol in 1989.
So what do you think of, when you think of Munich? I think of beer!

That’s not us, by the way. But that photo was taken at about 10am.
Munich is full of fairy-tale architecture. Here’s the Old Town Hall

And the New Town Hall, from above

There are some stunning churches – here’s St Peter’s Church, peeping over the top of the buildings

And the interior of St Michael’s Church


This is the Theatine Church (a tiny part of it!)

And the twin towers of the Frauenkirche – the Cathedral – surrounded by other buildings

So many churches, not sure which one this is!

Some districts make you feel like you’ve gone back 500 years


A little out of town you find the majestic Nymphenburg Palace



Much more in the modern era, Munich is known for the 1972 Olympics – here’s the Olympic Park

and the Olympic Swimming Pool

As always, I can never resist photographing a market. Is that person wearing a dressing gown?

But primarily I remember Munich for its very attractive and often quirky facades.




Thanks for accompanying me on this brief run around Munich 31 years ago. Tomorrow it’s back to the theatre memories, and some shows I saw between August and November 1978. Stay safe!
