Munich is easy to get around in. It seems relatively flat, so easy for bikers, and I see them everywhere. Monday morning we took the local bus, which stopped just a minute’s walk down the footpath from our room, then the S-bahn, the above-ground train, downtown to the main tourist hangout of Marienplatz.
