Filmed in Munich (meunchen)

[@malcolm4672]

What a blast from the past, heading for Munich in December so thought I would watch your old German videos. You have changed both in look and quality of filming/editing. Both for the better, cheers Malcolm.

[@SandySandifer]

I have lived in Munich longer than most Germans. I got sent here by the U.S. Army as an 18-year old soldier in January 1968 and more or less stayed on ever since. The only thing I have not found in Munich is real homesickness. After Perlacher Forest, Schwabing, Bogenhausen and Glockenbachviertel, I now live in Munich's WestEnd.......the best end of the city. I am a Roadie / Filmer ...and for $$$ a broadcast planner at a german tv station. i bin in Minga weil i Bier, Brezn und Dirndl mog..

[@robsweatherchannel]

My ancestors where from Rhineland area near Frankfurt. They moved to US but one moved to England via the ships. But this was around early 1800s. Cannot wait to trace back my family here but first stop Munich then the train to Hochfilzen and maybe a train to Frankfurt later.

[@hunterdamajikk8639]

Just got stationed in Bavaria! Going to Munich tomorrow. I’m so excited!

[@albaproductions9602]

This city has been my home for the past 25 years, I would never leave.

[@angelawu9035]

wait till you move to Canada. even colder.

[@Happytylermovieproducction]

Also this city was famous for the Best car! a BMW!!! BMW = Best MotorWagen

[@peternewman3487]

Alba Productions. I have relatives who live in Rosenheim in Bayern and I visit them many times and I also visit Munchen many times and I think this man is talking a load of shize. Munchen is 100% beautiful in every aspect.

[@peternewman3487]

Alpzepta Adventure. BMW was the mainstay of my working life and my main profession in life apart from being a professional guitarist.

[@xAnicsi]

I was born in Munich and grew up there for the first sixteen years of my life. Now I'm 25 and I have lived in various places, such as Caracas/Venezuela, Barcelona/Spain, Maastricht/Netherlands and another town in northern Germany, and while each place was wonderful in its own way, my heart will always belong to Munich. It is truly a beautiful and comfortable city to live in, that inspires you the same amount it lets you rest, contrary to other big cities in Germany, in my opinion. It's very interesting to view this city from a tourist's POV. Some people pointed out that we Bavarians like to think of ourselves as Bavarians before thinking of us as Germans, and I have to say that it has a lot to do with how other parts of Germany view Bavaria. We're often referred to by Germans as 'the country south to Germany', a bit as a joke, but also a bit serious. Many Germans have an (un)conscious dislike towards us. Why? I have no clue. Maybe because the economy is flourishing and Bavaria is the richest state in Germany. Ah, but anyway, I am rambling, this was an interesting video :)

[@aliceventers9542]

I'm 17 and moving to munich! I have never been before and I'm English, so my German is not the best! I'm really scared and I worried about making friends and getting work ect. It looks beautfuil but I know no one there!!! 😊😔😔😔😔

[@BerlinJason]

alice venters You will have a great time in Munich and Germany, maybe the best time of your life. So don't worry. :)

[@user-ot1ur9so2y]

xAnicsi Sind die Leute in Muenchen nett oder gemein? Ich denke die Leute sind sehr gemein!

[@BerlinJason]

She is doing fine..

[@Maxtherealone]

@@aliceventers9542 hey alice🙋‍♂️ how are you doin? Did i go well for you?

[@leonoratirazona9916]

Will be travelling to Germany this August...my daughter speaks Deutsch well so Kein Problem...Munich is part of our itinerary...thanks for the tips!

[@woltersworld]

thanks for the support. I appreciate it very much. have a great week!

[@woltersworld]

@aha45 or 12... 13... noch eins :) Thanks for watching and commenting! please subscribe!

[@hansmuller1846]

Your videos about Germany just make me extremely proud of my country, although I live far outside at the border to France... Your vids are amazing and I think, they are pretty helpful for anyone who doesn't know anything about German culture, because they might get lost or frustrated here :)

[@woltersworld]

Yep, and there is another brilliant comment that has nothing to do with anything. Thanks JOSHTRUS for your amazingly insightful comments, I and all the other people you troll on KZbin appreciate your fantastic AND helpful comments. Why not add something like, Hey if you are looking to save a few Euros try the Augistiner Beerhall instead of Hofbrauhaus Beer Hall because their liter beers are a euro cheaper... for example... Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@woltersworld]

Thanks! We love Munich. Sorry I did not write back to you sooner, all the best and you have a great hometown with great people!

[@woltersworld]

Thanks. Munich is a great town. I have had a blast every time I went there, whether it was for Oktoberfest with friends or visiting with my family there is tons to do & see & of course drink :) Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope you will subscribe!

[@woltersworld]

Yes I agree. My video do get a bit long. I know how to edit the videos now so things are a bit better. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope the stuff that wasn't too reptitive was good. Thanks!

[@jennifermcdonough7881]

SO glad you opened up with its hard to find 5 things to hate. Learning a few words in German is the best idea for everyone.

[@woltersworld]

And this isn't even one of my longer rantier ones :) I think my brain was frozen when I made this one, as it was about -15 C and i had been outside making videos for about an hour... or i just could be some crazy youtube guy ;) They honestly though, thank you for watching and commenting and I am glad I can seem like an affable kind of guy. All the best! Have a great week!

[@woltersworld]

It is a great place. Glad you had a blast there! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@woltersworld]

Then we can have a big apfelschoele togehter! bubbly apple juice :) Thanks for the comments and for watching! Hope you will like and subscirbe!

[@woltersworld]

@Anderl6862 I did not know that. thank you. i will definately put that in my next set of videos on bavaria. never ever knew that. now i feel bad having said it all the time. Servus... must remember that. hey, thank you for watching and commenting and helping me improve my Bavarian knowledge. and i am glad you liked the video.

[@woltersworld]

you are very welcome and thanks for the nice comments. I lived in berlin for about 3 years and I found munich to be about the same "price" maybe a 4 or 5% more expensive but nothing major. its just apartments that cost a lot more in munich :)

[@geoffreyr7]

Absolutely one of my favorite places I have been. I went with a class and it was the last city on the trip, honestly, I didn't find it expensive compared to Paris where we were earlier in the week. Something that wasn't mentioned was the churches-they are absolutely beautiful as well and worth admiring the beauty, even if not religious. The food was delicious and the people were not only nice but gorgeous. Seriously, some of the most incredible women I have ever seen and met were Munchen girls.

[@woltersworld]

@XV4444 Glad to hear you watched the videos and the museums in Munich are amazing. Sorry if I did not respond back to you, KZbin does not give me all the comment notifications so i miss some. And after you check out the amazing museums go have a Mass for me (the big 1 liter beers).... but just one :) you can have more for yourself but just one for me :) Thanks for watching, commenting and using the advice. And have a blast in Munich! Danke!

[@GisellaUnforgotten73]

I love your enthusiasm!! :D

[@querry999]

Yeah, me too.

[@painfreesunrise]

I am German & have been living in Munich all of my life. You are absolutely right about most things you mentioned - but there is one thing that you are very wrong about: You hardly find any Bavarians living in Munich. Most of the come from other parts of Germany and from abroad. And Munich people are NOT nice ! Most of them are really arrogant. Maybe not so much when you are a tourist - they are trying to behave around foreigners. ;) If you want to meet nice people in Germany - go to Berlin and East Germany!

[@Anonymous-xd1lo]

Isn't east Germany full of neo-Nazis, or so I've heard.

[@zellarsDD777]

Anonymous It's not, but I don't know why he thinks Berliners are friendly in general

[@Elmirgtr]

Berliners are shy but still nice. I stayed there for 6 months. Bremen and Cologne people are also very nice from my experience. I'm moving to Munich. Hopefully there will be nice people there as well.

[@robsweatherchannel]

I think he was on about the culture and how to get the feel of the bavarians

[@BetaDreTV]

from what i remember in munich last summer when i went to pick up my BMW at the Welt in munich, all the people speak english very well. especially the older people speak english well. i stopped asking people "do you speak english" after the third day because it was pointless. munich is so fucking awesome, im going back every year.

[@ulrichlehnhardt4293]

thank you for pointing this out. In my experience nearly EVERY German speaks English. EVERYBODY has to learn it at school. Of course there are some people who will never get what they are told at school but everybody who looks at least a tiny bit educated and civilized is fluent in English.

[@kapuzinergruft]

that is nonsense. many people dont speak English, esp. in smaller towns - let alone eastern Germany. Dont confuse Germany for Scandinavia

[@fmomani]

thanks for the video, I'm planning to go there this December. I'm tickled pink to see Munich but not sure how fun the trip will be on winter !

[@woltersworld]

@LeoCast96 we actually were supposed to go to northern italy (Turin to Venice and most places in between) but last minute surgery caused a slight change in our travel plans. I am sure i will get there one day! and i hope you can help with some ideas :) thanks for watching and writing!

[@woltersworld]

Cool. I hope you get the position! Good luck with the whole process!

[@woltersworld]

I made this at Christmas time. Late October there won't be any snow in Munich (or at least should not be). It might be a little chilly so bring jeans, a jacket. Just check the weather on the internet before you head out and you will be fine. I remember last time I was in Munich in October I had jeans and a sweatshirt and a fall jacket. But if you are going to go up into the mountains then it may be a bit chillier. Have a great trip! I am very jealous!

[@woltersworld]

@VivilEntertainment thank you very much! and I wish you a happy new year too!

[@woltersworld]

danke. I appreciate the heads up. we love munich. great place and people

[@Nubianette]

Wow! 7 years ago! Heading there next month. I was hoping you had a more recent video. Still, great! 😉

[@woltersworld]

I was hoping it would be Epic :) just kidding :) thanks for the kind comments and I hope you get to enjoy munich! it is an awesome city well worth visiting many many times :)

[@woltersworld]

@AndreR241 didn't make it to the einkaufszentrum. i had to do my last minute shopping on this trip in vienna so did not get out there. great public transport for sure i munich. have a great new year! Guten Runsch!

[@jessmanrobinson7952]

I lived in Oberaudorf for 1 year (2008-2009) and visit my friends frequently, my wife is Germany born and raised and we are actually moving back the end of this year.

[@victorpabon7551]

Sound quality was just fair at times, but very informative.

[@woltersworld]

you will have a great time. munich and Vienna are two of my favorite places in central Europe.

[@LadyJoeRed]

Munich is one of the best cities in the world!!

[@woltersworld]

I completely agree :)

[@Buck123four]

Have been visiting Munich since about 1984, & my wife & I love the city! It used to be our "start point" for skiing in Austria, but 3 back surgeries have ended skiing. But - every time we visit, we always find something new (to us). NO NEED for a car; U-Bahn & S-Bahn much better than driving, especially using a "Partner Pass."

[@monalisahota]

Wonderful share! Thanks a ton for the tips. Have been to the Science Museum and it is indeed the best museums I have visited.

[@islandbee]

I loved the Viktualienmarkt when I was there. I went during Oktoberfest and it was really crowded, and the hostels are very expensive too. I think I paid literally 50€ for a night to only share with 7 other people. I heard that people camp out during Oktoberfest too, but you will have to take the S-Bahn somewhere outside of the festival. It was definitely an experience. Since I'm not so much of a beer person, I opted to spend money eating Barvarian food which was nice and went to a couple coffee shops which were very nice too. He's right. Most of the people in Munich are nice. The only mean person I encountered was an older lady serving food at one of the grocery stores who didn't understand English. She actually reminded me of another German lady in Seattle who was helping out with her sons' German restaurant. She was so bitter about Germany saying that it has turned into a ' veeel zheeeeet-hole' lol. She was talking about Berlin in particular, but Munich is very nice.

[@nick101984]

Thanks for the video Walt! taking my dad there Friday plan on seeing Austria and Czech republic as well. cheers

[@KronprinzAdam]

When people is friendly and open, you can communicate with them.

[@marcio1745]

Just returned from Munich .... What a fantastic place. Unfortunatlely I spent only 2 days and it's definitely not enough ... which it comes to be a very good excuse to go back. Munich is a must visit place before dying.

[@woltersworld]

@tmgore64 thanks buddy. oktoberfest is on and i am jealous if you are anywhere near munich right now :) thanks for watchign adn commenting!

[@chrifus31037]

Sure thing ! I had a Skype interview with a company in Munich and I'm waiting for their decision. I'll keep you informed...

[@tilikumtim5562]

Thanks for this information. I think this will be my next place to visit !

[@FireRaptor100]

Thanks for your videos, They really help me to prepare my trip.

[@woltersworld]

thanks! I appreciate it. you have a great city!

[@rafaelabuchain1324]

Thanks for the great information. I'll visit Munich sono and this was a great report.

[@woltersworld]

True. Supermarket food is cheap, but most tourists are not hitting up Aldi or Kaisers :)

[@woltersworld]

hence why i never had a chance while in munich :) thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RuffyDM]

i live in munich and its just the best city in germany by far... but u get the most of it in the summer .... like swimming in the isar and chillin in the englischen garten or end of september :P

[@notobiwan]

welcher sommer? :D :P

[@ERAP1st]

Thanks for the Tips. Can't wait to go this December.

[@besteconomicsfaculty]

you will love it. the Christmas markets are super nice in munich

[@LoBall16]

Hey there! Thanks for the great comment about my beautiful Hometown! Your facts are definitely right. But a little tip for the people who don't like beer or beerhalls. There are some great bavarian restaurants you can go to, like the "Spöckmeier" ,the "Augustiner Bräu" or the "Weiße Bräuhaus". Servus and enjoy your visit!

[@woltersworld]

I will do extra research on this my next trip to Munich ;)

[@woltersworld]

I think you have those two, also if you give them a bit of art background you could check out some of the pinoteks that are in the city, there are three and all are great. I might take them on a day trip to Neuschwanstein castle near fuessen. It is a "Disney" castle that they will have seen in commercials and posters and it is pretty cool too sorry I did not get back to you earlier, for some reason youtube didn't let me know about some of my munich comments :(

[@davlor86]

i'm visiting Munich this september, thanks for the info, i'll try to learn some german now :)

[@seandp1]

davlor86 We are visiting in September also. Maybe we will see you in the English Park beer garden!

[@davlor86]

Darryl Wagoner haha yeah prolly, can't wait to go, just 1 month away ;)

[@woltersworld]

that is a few years out. When the little ones are a bit bigger :) but we will get down there one day!

[@BerlinJason]

Du hast echt ein tolles Leben in Deutschland. Ich wohne jetzt in Kalifornien und vermisse Deutschland so ein wenig.

[@pegasusdba]

nur ein wenig?

[@woltersworld]

Great to hear you are going for it! i loved living abroad. i did it for 13 years straight and now am back in the US but ready to move again. :) in terms of the exams, do you have a good grammar book? i would be going over the verb conjucations and sentence structure. Have you watched my 3 videos on German cases? those should help too. it is more written than oral exam so i would read more german if you could. just to help you get used to it. watch the deutsche welle channel news (in german)

[@flo768068]

In Bavaria you do not say Tschuess for Good bye but Servus or Pfiadi! I liked your documantary about Munich!

[@Riptide515]

Going there tomorrow for Oktoberfest

[@sab249]

Great video and very informative! I'm sold!

[@woltersworld]

@CiG801 oh yeah. lots of snow do not worry :) i have a top ten munich on here too if you need some tourist sights as well as the top ten germany, top ten bavaria and some love and hates for germany. you should try to hit salzburg and regensburg (but you are going there already i am guessing :)

[@PompullaMaailmalle]

I would recommend to visit BMW Museum. It is brand marketing, but the place has an interesting story to tell. The history of the museum goes back to 72 Olympics and the history of the BMW is actually in aviation.

[@woltersworld]

THAT was right on the end of my top 10 munich list. I almost put it down on there. thanks for commentin on that!

[@woltersworld]

Its a fun city. You will have a blast!

[@jdam7331]

Please do a new one! 12 years later 😮

[@woltersworld]

glad I could get the right places :) we really loved regensburg

[@woltersworld]

Thanks. Did my mom make you write this ;) Glad you liked it hope you will subscribe!

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I feel I have to drink in Germany but I don’t anymore as it’s easier to get drunk in Germany. Munich is awesome. The ppl are awesome and so is the football or Fußball.

[@woltersworld]

Honestly though, telling people to go back to anywhere is idiotic. Tourists come when they can and you should be happy they come, regardless if they are Americans or Australians or Austrians, heck even people from countries that don't start with the letter A should be very warmly welcomed as tourist money means jobs. Go to school and learn a little econ before you banish a whole country from visiting. Silly boy. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@zipbutton3568]

The people in Munich were amazing when I was there, and were so helpful. I hardly knew any German, but they helped, even the older people. It helps to be polite. Some Americans were obnoxious and spoke too fast. The cultural sights in Munich are great. The science museum is a must. The transportation is amazing. I went everywhere without a car. Hotels were not overly expensive either. This list sounds like something I would tell anyone thinking about visiting Munich. The beer halls were good, but I was there for Oktoberfest and don't know what it's like any other time of the year.

[@LeoCast96]

Good video Mark, you should go to Turin and do one of those!!

[@woltersworld]

Munich is a great place. Did you not watch the 5 things you will love abou thte city? or did you just watch for the first part that is meant to get you thinking about the possible not great things about munich (one of the best cities in the world)...

[@woltersworld]

We have a top 10 Regensburg video on here :) check it out nad let me know what you think

[@familiezoettl]

The thing about Bavarians being friendly. Oh my god they are the grumpiest people you will ever meet

[@jeannet6876]

[@Angela-ty4ic]

thank you !! you helped me do my homework , i needed to do a project about a place i visited and liked, but it was quite a long time ago and i can't really remember so you helped me !! sorry if my english isn't very good i'm spanish hahaha

[@woltersworld]

Angela Serrano glad I could help ;)

[@Bibimykitty]

My teacher explained that the south of Germany tends to be more expensive because it's where their industries are located so tourism is not a very important branch of their economy there, however, the north depends a lot on visitors - it tends to be cheaper.

[@Bhodisatvas]

Been to Munich a few times, brilliant city. Best thing is the transport system..absolute breeze to get around.

[@user-ot1ur9so2y]

Do you think the people are nice?

[@sofakingdrunk66]

Finally the BEER!!!!

[@woltersworld]

sofakingdrunk66 I see we will get along very well :)

Hey man, I commented on one of your videos a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for all the tips, I`m in Germany now and going to Munich tomorrow. I plan on checking out those museums you mentioned! ;)

[@raptorjesus959]

Same here... I have been living in Berlin for 7 months, and then moved to Bamberg, I even found Bamberg (in the Bavarian zone) a little bit cheaper than Berlin...

[@smiledochmal]

hi Mark? love all your videos, even learned a little bit português with your help. thank you for so many great videos! now here's my question/suggestion: you HAVE to come to Regensburg! if you liked Munich, you're gonna fall for Regensburg! promise! ;)

[@ryandvy1]

Gotcha! Thanks again for the tips. I enjoy your videos!

[@CiG801]

Thanks for posting! This is the first city I'm staying in when I go in 10 days, so perfect timing! Can I expect a lot of snow like in the video?

[@woltersworld]

Me too my friend... me too :) Let's hope we can meet up for a beer there one day as neighbors :)

[@nurywais]

Con lo que decías de aprender el alemán, por eso que te pedí el "phrasebook" para turistas, así no nos perdemos mucho, ;-) Gracias por tus videos que están re buenos, como decimos acá.... :-)

[@Tridhos]

Wonderful city and I don't agree its expensive to eat there, they have wonderful reasonably priced food even in the department stores and its not expensive plus excellent size portions. If you have a piece of cheese cake its not those thin slices you get elsewhere but a really great big slice. Also visit the BMW museum fabulous place to spend a few hours.

[@shelleylarose]

Really enjoyed your video, looking forward to going to Munich

[@dominicofmontrealfan2672]

Ah awesome man! Cheers for the upload I'm going to Vienna and then Munich next week.

[@DavidManion]

Great video. You mentioned the Augustiner as a good place for a beer, but I notice there are two places in Munich with a similar name - Augustiner-Brau, and Augustiner Keller. Which one were you referring to please?

[@jonnieinbangkok]

I am in the process of planning my trip for the summer of 2015 and am not finding the prices very expensive. Of course the Euro-dollar exchange rate is about 1-1 now certainly helps. Three star hotels and apartelles for around $100 (booked the 5-Star Ritz in Berlin for $165) and high-speed ICE trips from Frankfurt to Munich First Class for under 100 bucks is downright cheap in my book. Day local transit passes for $ 7 again is a bargain. This is all the same or cheaper than in the U.S.

[@woltersworld]

@Codylangaugesblog es ist eine schoen stadt. man soll es besuchen. die museen sind echt top.

[@Bhodisatvas]

Been to Munich a few times..such a great city! Not really expensive at all..well not expensive for someone from the UK

[@dchan520]

Munich the best german city

[@actingcrew8283]

genou

[@FireRaptor100]

Dianchen Han Yes, I was one day in Germany and I definetely have to go back. Deutsche Museum is world-class, Marienplatz and Residenz. There is so much to do in Munich that you need 3 or 4 days to visit all touristic places.

[@user-ot1ur9so2y]

Ich stimme zu nicht. Die Leute von Bayern sind sehr gemein, verschlossen, und zurueckhaltend.

[@user-ot1ur9so2y]

Hamburg und Frankfurt sind die Beste.

[@FireRaptor100]

r93 Hamburg vielleicht, aber es gibt nicht zu viel zu tun in Frankfurt in Vergleich zu München oder Berlin. Mir hat München viel gefallen und ich bin dort zwei Male gewesen, allerdings ist für mich Berlin die beste Stadt Deutschlands, obwohl man dort mehr Leute aus der ganzen Welt als Deutscher findt.
