My cousin used to life in the olympic village as he was a student. i stayed over night because we had a party and i can tell these houses are nice and cozy inside. a tiny house layout and enough space for a Student or even two to stay in.
Parking for the Olympia area is underneath the whole village. It's a downright maze and back when a friend of mine lived in one of the houses there I frequently managed to get lost in all the little pathways. It's fascinating. Fun fact: The olympia houses have a garbage system where you throw your garbage into shafts where the garbage falls down and then gets collected in the underground parking area. This used to be the case until a few years ago when they decided the system got too old and unreliable and people threw things down the shafts they were not supposed to so it ended up clogging them. Very cool system. If you are interested in another "village" inside Munich then check out the Borstei. It's a cool little area with a lot of history and very close to the Olympia area too.
Interesting thing to know: On the Olympiaberg (the hill in the Olympic Park), there have been ski races held, but due to climate change and global warming thats not really possible anymore. Last year in December when it snowed alot, there were some viral Videos of people skiing there.
Die Berliner Passarelle am Messedamm könnte auch die gleiche Nutzung gebrauchen wie die Maximiliansforum, aber Villeicht ist Berlin zu langweilig dafür! 🤪 Der Dampfer auf der Brücke gefällt mir sehr gut. 🙂Danke.
Its rich. Its like their version of Silicon Valley. I spent 5 years in the NRW area and met some guys from Munich while traveling in Spain, they are very orderly.
the thing is though, most interesting places in munich are just interesting on the surface, there is much less actual cultural variation than in other big german cities like berlin or any place in nrw. For example, the boat is cool looking, but you get the same lame beer, aperol spritz and prosecco you get everywhere (and its a beer garden again), the yurt and boat are just aesthetics
Berlin is today what Munich was in the 60s. The police were harmless, the nightlife was out of control. My parents told me the wildest stories from that time. That changed suddenly with the Munich Massacre. The police were not even close to coping with the events, which became visible through live media broadcasts around the world. That was the beginning of the Bavarian police state, which is also the main reason why Munich is still safer today than much smaller cities. It's definitely more "boring" here than in Frankfurt or Cologne, not to mention Hamburg or Berlin. In my 20s I lived in Berlin and it was awesome. Now in my 50s, I've had enough after a week in Berlin and am happy to come back to my boring Munich.
This is great insight for a Munich newbie, and makes a lot of sense. From what I can tell, the Police here seem to mostly stay out of view. However, I have also seen them spring into action, appearing out of seemingly nowhere, after an incident. I also love my new 'boring' Munich home :)
I am from Munich, but i never swa this ship beergarden cool 😊

that is wild about the trash, sounds like a very 70s idea. i have heard about the Borstei, I will check it out. thanks!
Interessante Plätze in München, die ich nicht kannte. Habe aber auch als Kölner nie in München gewohnt, war immer nur zu Besuch. Danke für das Video!

Taylor Swift watching in the summer, skiing in the winter 😁
I lived in Munich for seven years and I miss it, it's definitely not boring.
you said it, especially so in summer. greetings from Munich :)
Munich doesn't need a hype, being cozy and nice .. and good food and drinks ... is sufficient :-)
agreed

This video is way too well done to only have so few views. Keep it up!
thanks :)

Try Koln it has a very different crowd. Much of the NRW is like that.
It’s not just you bro, it’s definitely weird!!
I have a lot more places to show, but that will be for another video :)

Munich is for living and not for tourism.
