    It's just how english people pronounce things. Even if the narrator could pronounce it "correctly" (i.e. german pronounciation - although even then for several of these places you'd have to ask if the "correct" pronounciation would be the bavarian or the standard german one), english doesn't use the same phonemes as german and even the ones that are shared are used quite differently in many words, so english speakers would have no way to follow along. Target audience and all that.

    Munich being my hometown this video sure gave me a good dose of nostalgia. It's a strange feeling to see all those familiar places presented to potential tourists as sights. I'm seeing those streets, parks and markets, and instantly think of countless times I've been there just shopping, meeting people, chilling, going to and from work, taking a walk with my mom, walk the dogs. I moved abroad 10 years ago and I'm more happy where Iive now, but seeing these shots it does feel a little homesick and nostalgic :) I'm going home to visit my parents next week, hahaha. So that nostalgic feeling will be remedied soon. Anyway, Munich is a great place to visit if you're going to Germany for the first time and maybe only have a limited amount of time. Not only does it's old style downtown architecture give that 'historic Europe' feel, it's also in close vicinity of several great experiences to have in Germany. You can be in the Alps with just a 2-3 hr train ride and see a lot of what Americans perceive as stereotypical German culture - even if it's really Bavarian/Alpine culture. This list was okay, but I didn't like that it mainly focused on sights and not on experiencing Munich life. Best times to come imo are either for the summer season (May to mid-September) or the pre-Christmas season (1st-24th December) If you come in summer these are places to go and chill at: - Universität: the area around LMU university is near Odeonsplatz. it looks great architecture-wise, but there are also lots of international food places and cool little shops - Englischer Garten: and from LMU uni you can stroll within minutes right into Englischer Garten, a huge green park that runs through a huge chunk of Munich. The part that is accessible from the uni has lots of wide lawns where students relax in their spare time. There's always also some guys practising juggling or rope walking, people having picnics etc. Just sit down on the lawn with a beer and a snack (available at a little food stall near the LMU entrance and take in the good vibes. Or walk in the cool shade of ancient trees until you get to Eisbachwelle, where surfers practise their skill on an artificially created steady wave almost all year round. - Biergärten: how could this list skip on beer gardens??? hmph!!! As you're in Englischer Garten already, just walk to either Seehaus Biergarten or the Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm, the latter has a Chinese architecture inspired wooden tower (therefore the name Chinesischer Turm) in which a Bavarian traditional band is regularly playing what Americans like to refere to as oompah-music. You can just sit down and relax, maybe even get into some smalltalk with the locals, as it's normal to share a bench-table with strangers when it gets crowded. You can bring your own snacks, but if you want to drink anything you must buy it there. There are several more nice beer gardens all throughout town, but those two are great to combine with a visit to Englischer Garten - The Isar river: he just mentioned this one as a side note with the zoo, but the Isar river is essential for Munich summer life. The Isar runs also through Englischer Garten - or rather Englischer Garten was placed alongside it - but it's better to access it either from Helabrunn or from around Deutsches Museum (the German museum, also a must visit!). It gets packed in summer when the weather is nice. People go walk their dogs, or sun-bathe, or have a bbq or picnic, or just chill along the riverside. Bring a few bottles of beer or a bottle of wine (again conveniently available in nearby supermarkets or stalls), sit down and relax with friends while taking in the scene. If you have more than one bottle with you, keep some in the shallow water, the water of which coming from the Alps is sufficiently cold to keep your beers perfectly chilled. - festivals: around the summer months you may be lucky to just be there when some public festival is going on. Look out for the dates of Tollwood summer festival (in Olympia Park) for example, lots of good music, international food and stalls selling goods from all around the world - sights and destinations surrounding Munich within local or short distance train reach: Garmisch Partenkirchen (a picturesque Bavarian town), Eibsee (an amazing Alpine lake from which you can take a cable cart up to Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain), Starnberger See (one of many beautiful lakes around Munich), Dachau memorial site (a concentration camp that now serves as a memorial site to the victims of the holocaust and to educate future generations about history), and lots more If you come in winter, first of all, be sure to bring warm clothes. Don't be that American who stands around at the Christmas market in shorts. It's very cringe. Anyway, around that season besides the usual sights mentioned in the video, there are dozens and dozens of Christmas markets to experience all over town from Dec 1st to 23rd. Do not stop at just the big main market at Marienplatz (be careful of pickpockets at that specific location during Christmas season). The smaller local Christmas markets are where it's really at, and they are really all over town! Have a mulled wine and a Bratwurst and shop for traditional German Christmas decorations. And if Christmas is not your thing, just go and visit Winter Tollwood, the winter edition of before mentioned Summer Tollwood festival. The winter version takes place at Theresienwiese, where Oktoberfest takes place in September. There are endless stalls with cool stuff to buy from all over the world, international food, concerts and of course also plenty of mulled wine!

    This comment should be pinned - way more informative than the video. Especially the end, Odeonsplatz, was confusing: Don't show the Siegestor, if you are talking about something completely different. Rant end. If you are going to Munich in the Summer, just grab a beer and walk. If you are walking from east to west or the other way round, you will meet the river and nothing is better than sitting on the riverbank and have a cold beer.

    Concerning the Bones in St. Peter's Church, those are relics. They're typically the bones of saints or martyrs. For example, in the Cologne Cathedral they are supposed to have some of the bones from the three holy kings from the biblical christmas story. Tey are basically put there for continued worship of them, a kind of 'proof of their existence' (though none can actually proof that they are actually the bones of those people, not to mention what happened back then) and in hopes that some of the holyness of their owners transfers to said church or cathedral.

    around here in eastern saxony about 8 kilometres away from the place i live in, there is a summer camp style area that consists mainly of a large fenced forest showing all kinds of german forest-animals apart from predators. hedgehogs, rabbits, deers, racoons, squirrels, all kinds of birds and of course plants. in elementary school (grade 1 to 4) we have a subject called "Heimatkunde" which roughly translates to local history. it consists of simple biology lessons about local animals and plants, geographic lessons about the geographics of the federal state and germany. another part are historic lessons related to the federal state and germany. so this summer camp is the best place to go to learn about native german plants and animals, of course apart from aquatic species and predators. its kind of a smaller scaled in depth zoo. in secondary schools (fifth grade upwards) the subject Heimatkunde is devided into the specific subjects biology, history and geography which are more detailed or larger in scale. biology begins with cells and other more indepth topics while history begins with the history of the whole planet and geography is about european and later worldwide geography. in my opinion thats a pretty good system starting with local easy stuff and later going more in depth or learning about other countries.

But all in all, the sites listed were not bad, however I would have maybe left out a few of those churches and substituted other sites (Deutsches Museum or the Bayerische Landtag/Friedensengel for example) to break up the video and to add a bit of diversity.

    Ryan, the roofs in Muenchen and in most of Germany are red because they are covered with red roof tiles. Most of the downtown area of Muenchen was made a pedestrian area in 1972, but some of the old streetcars still have to operate. The majority are now a very elegant and efficient underground subway system. The ornate building at the Marianplatz is the Rat Haus - the City Hall of Muenchen. The Wittlesbach family were the Kings of Bavaria. Their winter palace is a block behind the Rat Haus, next to the Opera Theater. The Nymphenburg Palace was the King's summer home. The area around the Olympic Stadium used to be the Muenchen Airport in 1938. It was a flat grass field. The hills you see there now is the cement that was knocked off the bricks after 1945, to reuse the bricks to rebuild the totally bombed city. Hundreds of tons of cement are now hidden from view by the Olympic Stadiums

    That video is horrible. However, the places and landmarks are attractions you can tick off in a day. Munich has so much more to offer. A nice café macchiato at Gärtnerplatz after a walk along the river from Flaucher (where people sunbathe even in February naked on a mild and sunny day - in summer it is packed and people barbecue and party), then go to a bar in Schwabing and later having dinner there. Visiting the Old and New Pinakothek. Renting a push bike and cycling up the river and then skinny dipping in the river to cool off, then sunbathing and enjoying the calmness and nature and trees and on the way back into town stopping at the beergarden Hinterbrühl for a a tasty Brotzeit and a Weizen beer (or two) Near the Nymphenburg Palace is the new Botanical garden also really beautiful, and coofee and cake there is lovely. Anyhow, best way to explore is by push bike, riding through the Englischer Garten and stopping there for a refreshing Radler in a beergarden. The Hotel Marianderl on Goethestr. has a lovely breakfast menu and in the evenings often live music (I used to live just across there) And of course a walk through the Alter Friedhof (Old graveyard) which is a stunning park with tall trees and really old graves (in particular on a sunny day in October with all the leaves in awesome colours) And exploring the bars and restaurants along Müllerstr. at the weekend. I love Munich, and I loved the time living there. It always felt to me like a big village, where you get everywhere with your bike in like 15 minutes. And I loved the Oktoberfest season. A very special buzz descends the on Munich, and best to go there during the week - not as crowded) I now live in Niederbayern close to the Austrian border, which is a lot quieter, but a beautiful place to live. I hope you can visit Germany sometime soon. But don’t squeeze it all into one visit. There is far to much to do and see from Flensburg in the North to Garmisch in the South. But for an American it may be most interesting to first see the main sites in Southern Bavaria (as that’s what you imagine Germany being like) and then plan your next visits to explore other parts.

As a guy from America you may meet some people from California or Florida (as it is always nice to meet your neighbour during holiday and travels), people from Australia (or basically any surfing enthusiasts) that specifically travel to Munich for the surfing experience

    The family you didn't understand the name of, was Wittelsbach. Also worth to have a look at, the Wittelsbach Blue, a diamond once attached to the Bavarian State Crown, which was recut by Graff, changing it's historical apparence, re-named to Wittelsbach-Graff-Diamond and apparently sold to the Emir of Qatar.

I'm from Eastern Germany and although I find death a very fascinating (and integral) part of life you don't see much death-related outside of museums here. The U.S. is mainly Protestant, so they wouldn't be too familiar with human bones, too, as relics are mainly a Catholic thing.

    I also like the historical architectural styles very much. The buildings are like works of art. In modern times, however, buildings are hardly ever built like that in Germany. The modern buildings are strongly cubic, neutral, large windows and partly quite boring looking. Whereas the USA also has very beautiful historic buildings. I myself was once on the East Coast, from San Francisco to Los Angeles and there I also noticed very playful and warm buildings. Whereby I count the abandoned villages of the Pueblo society or old Wild Western ghost towns also to the historical buildings of the USA. Especially with the latter there are some imitations in Germany, like the "Pullman City" or "El Dorado" in Templin.

    1:58 The cables in the streets above the tramway are wire ropes. They carry the streetlights that illuminate the street at night. On the other hand, the cables are also there because of the trams that hold the power lines. There seems to be a general ban on cars in the area. Only free for residents. This means that e.g. suppliers of shops are only allowed to drive into the area to unload and then have to drive away again. There is also a parking ban for cars.

    A couple additions from another person living in Munich: the "concrete" structure in the beginning is actually brick ;-) It´s the other side of St. Peter, which is later shown in the video (the church with the many bones, because relics of saints are a major part of (especially medieval) catholicism). And while the beergardens are often run by breweries or restaurants, the one on the Viktualienmarket is actually owned by the city as far as I know, and the major breweries in the city take turns running it - the switch when the next brewery takes over is determined by the amount of beer sold, so that no one gets disadvantaged during the colder months.
