Munich, Germany - High End Munich 2023 on 5/15-5/22
We found this HIGH END banner at Munich airport and all over the city

Marienplatz - right outside of the train station, so you won’t miss this

Inside of St. Peter Church also only a few minutes from the same train station

Like any major cities (except LA), you can go almost anywhere with train and bus
My challenge was a day trip to Audi’s hometown, Ingolstadt.
There was no problem with DB Navigator App.
It wasn’t dark outside even around 8PM, so I didn’t feel dangerous, walking by myself
