Germany and Italy 2023...Day 3: Munich

We started off Thursday with a run around Englischer Garten Park. Running to and around the park has to be one of my favorite things to do in Munich. I love it even more when Ken joins me! We found a little coffee shop near the park and stopped for lattes and pastries before walking back to our hotel. 

We got ready for the day and decided we would walk to the Augustiner Biergarten which is located near the train station. We were anxiously awaiting Mike and Katie's arrival, but due to some weather issues in Chicago, they were going to be delayed.


Enjoying Augustiner Brau Biergarten


Ken enjoyed a one liter of bier and a bratwurst, while I enjoyed a wine spritzer and currywurst!

After lunch at the Augustiner, I asked Ken if we could walk to the Dallmyr for truffles. Of course, he said yes. The Dallmyr is one of my favorite stops in Munich. I just love walking around this darling shop and staring at all of the treats.


Delicious desserts in the Dallmyr!


We left the Dallmyr and walked back to our hotel through the Marienplatz. We had to drop my previous truffles off at the hotel so that they would not melt!



It was a beautiful day around the Marienplatz


Another gorgeous view of the Rathaus


Loving our time in Munich!



Ordering my favorite, Aperol Spritz in the Viktualienmarkt!


Mike and Katie finally arrived and we met them in the Marienplatz and walked them to our hotel. After they were checked in, we walked to Englischer Garten Park to introduce them to one of our favorite biergartens. After enjoying a drink there, we decided that we would walk over to the Seehaus in the park, which we had never been to before. We tried to visit the Seehaus in 2021, but it was closed due to Covid. We were excited to finally get to visit this darling place!

Seehaus in Englischer Garten Park. This was on the Amazing Race recently.



We left the Seehaus and took Mike and Katie to the Eisbach River area to watch the surfers. This is one of those things that Ken and I have gotten to see several times, but we always love to stop and watch. Mike and Katie got to see it for the first time!

We ended the night in the Viktualienmarkt with a late dinner and drinks. We had an early morning train the next day to make our way to the Dolomites!
