Submitted by April Pappas on the 2022 spring semester program in Salzburg, Austria…
This past weekend, some other students from the program and I traveled to Munich. We took the train and traveled about 2 hours away from where I’m staying in Salzburg. Once there, we walked to Marienplatz and saw the breathtaking Neues Rathaus. The Neues Rathaus is known for its beautiful Gothic façade as well as the famous glockenspiel show. Marienplatz is the place to be for tourists looking for shopping, sightseeing, and watching the city go by. We walked by Saint Peter’s Church which is one of Munich’s oldest churches first built at the end of the 1100s, but was destroyed by fire in 1347. There are many museums all within walking distance of each other within the city. If you go on a Sunday, many of the museums offer free admission or only one Euro admission. My group visited the Stadt Museum.
