If you’ve been there or live there, I’d love to hear your perspective. I’m going for the first time to visit my daughter, who lives with her German boyfriend near Munich in a town called Grunwald. I’m coming from Michigan. The question’s intentionally broad since I’m curious about everything: must-try experiences, daily life, culture, etc.

    You must try:

    • a Biergarten
    • a swim in the river Isar (only in hot weather, and only where it’s allowed)
    • the public parks in the city (new york central park is just a joke)
    • climb up the stairs of a church tower and enjoy the view, preferably the ‘Alter Peter’
    • public transport in Munich, especially the trams
    • window shopping in the Maximilianstrasse

    If you go to Neuschwanstein, take your time and enjoy a whole day there, first do some hiking in the area around, 2-3 hours, then walk up to the castle itself, and afterwards a little boat trip on the lake Forggensee nearby.
