Munich:
Beer, Baroque, and the Alps on the Horizon

Munich is one of those cities that seems to resist reduction. The Bavarian capital contains multitudes — world-class museums, extraordinary beer culture, Baroque architecture, and the Alps sitting on the southern horizon like a promise. A city that takes itself seriously without losing its sense of pleasure.

Draft in progress. Photos and full write-up coming soon. The skeleton is here — the story follows.
