    Worth a visit. A 100-year history of BMW. Built in 1973. Opening hours: Tuesday-Sunday 10:00-18:00. Chinese guided tours are free but must be requested. The museum is bowl-shaped, and the headquarters houses four cylindrical buildings resembling car cylinders. 1) Kinetic Sculpture: 714 steel balls mechanically manipulated to create a flowing art installation showcasing the essence of aerodynamics and car design. 2) Classic car tour, M series, concept cars. 3) BMW factory tour (book two weeks in advance, €20).

    Price was reasonable, but really it had too many rooms to visit, lost patience at a point. Overall I find interesting when anything relates to Empress Sisi. Worth a visit if you’re interested in Bavarian history.

    Maria Square is the central square in Munich. In the middle of the square is the statue of the Virgin Mary, and in the north of the square is the Gothic-style town hall (Rathaus), which was built in 1867-1908. In the middle of the town hall is the 85-meter-high clock tower, with the famous doll clock clock, and the dolls at 11 am and 5 pm accompanied by music to show the scene of the 1568 William V wedding ceremony and the elimination of the Black Death. Not far northwest of the square, there are two famous onion-topped Notre Dame Churches, a symbol of Munich. Drink beer, taste ice cream and enjoy the bustling city by the square.

    There is a big difference between the live broadcast on TV and the live game. The stadium is very big and the full house at the start of the game is very shocking. The shouts of the goals are very exciting. Munich is a football fan. The stadium is easy to find and can be reached directly by subway. It is very convenient to book with Ctrip. There will be a butler to contact on WeChat. The fan area is in a very good location. The stadium is still a bit cold in February. I must wear more clothes next time I go. Haha, I will choose Ctrip next time. It’s great. It’s a very good experience👍

    The store issues tickets very quickly, which is very convenient, and the price is quite reasonable. The museum has a lot of content, divided into many small exhibitions. The popular science about the human body and atoms is not seen much in China. The ones presented here are more like children's paintings.

    Munich's New Town Hall was built between 1867 and 1909. It is an old Gothic-style building with statues of Bavarian kings, legendary heroes and saints on its front. Visitors can climb the 85-meter-high tower to overlook Munich's streets.
