I find Munich a great place to live. Well, except for the exorbitant rental prices, of course!

There are a lot of places which are my favorites – some famous and some not so. The best place I prefer to hangout is the Japanischer Garten which is quite close to where I live. Yes, it is not known to a lot of people, but is a little version of the crowded Englischer Garten. It offers restaurants, gardens and flower gardens with a lot fewer people. It is near the ‘Westpark’ U-Bahn stop.

In addition to the above, I also like the Olympia Park which is quite a happening place. It is one of the best places to spend summer evenings just reading a book or going for a jog or even for some nature-therapy! If you are a fan of the Englischer Garten, do check out the place where people do surfing regularly. It is near the ‘Museumplatz’ bus stop and is a fun sight.

Some other things I’d like to do here – spend a rainy day at the Deutsch Museum (the ticket costs just 1 Euro on Sundays), enjoy a sunny day at the Stanberg Lake and just roam the streets of Odeonsplatz where life seems more vibrant than the rest of the city!
