Immerse Yourself in Local Culture with AmaWaterways

Raise a Glass and Toast to Munich

Bordering the Bavarian Alps and nestled along the River Isar, the city of Munich boasts plenty of jaw-dropping scenic views and exciting experiences. Besides the baroque churches, scores of historic breweries dot the city and line the streets; the spirit of Oktoberfest lives here year-round. Multiple meals might consist of weisswurst (white veal sausage), schnitzel (breaded and fried meat cutlets) and bretzel (German pretzel) — all of which pair perfectly with a refreshing pint of beer. When it comes time to burn off such a hearty meal, plenty of sites warrant a walk to discover them for yourself: The Rathaus-Glockenspiel is near the top of the list. This century-old mechanical marvel consists of 43 bells and 32 life-sized wooden figures and comes to life in a charming show several times a day. Another marvel to discover? The Devil’s Footprint. Legend has it that the devil himself visited the Cathedral of Our Dear Lady, and upon discovering the windows, stomped on the ground, leaving a black mark in the entryway. Devil, pretzel or other — this charming city is full of good cheer and good food; what you make of it is up to you.
