27 Sep 2010
We left Oktoberfest at about 5pm and returned to Marienplatz to take a walk around the city centre. Originally, we planned to visit the city centre in the afternoon. However Oktoberfest proved too alluring.
Leaving Oktoberfest, huge crowds were pouring in to Oktoberfest after work
On the busy U-bahn
Back at Marienplatz
First, we entered St Peter's Church right opposite the New City Hall. It was built in 1368 CE Strangely, we forgotten to take a picture of the church exterior.
Golden statues adorn the two sides
A closer look at the altar. Next we went back outside and entered the church tower.
Climbing up the tower of St. Peter's Church (€1.50 per person), for panoramas of Munich
At the top, here's the view of the iconic Frauenkirche, Cathedral of Our Dear Lady (bulit 1488 CE), the catherdral of the Archbishop of Munich.

. We view from the left of the Neues Rathaus (New City Hall) to the right.

Down below to the right of the New City Hall, the tower is the gate beside the Altes Rauthaus (Old City Hall).
Close up of the click on the gate of the old city hall.
Through the gate of the Altes Rauthaus is Viktualienmarkt (main market) where we were in the morning
The Maximilianeum, a sort of a palace-like building, houses gifted student's foundation and the state paliarment.
Back down below, a close up of the Neues Rathaus Glockenspiel

Walking around the streets of the city
You can get your oktoberfest gear here, ops, I mean the Bavarian costume here.
We shopped around for some souvenirs
Then, we took a tram to the Maximilianeum
The Bavaria statue on the roof
Monument of King Maximilian II of Bavaria opposite the Maximilianeum that was built by him
We were completely stuffed from a day of eating at Oktoberfest, so we skipped dinner tonight and hopped on the tram back to our hotel near the Ostbahnhof. Time for a good night's rest before our next day's day trip out to the dreamy town of Schwangau where the fairy tale Neuschwanstein castle is.
