Munich, the sophisticated city of Germany.
If Munich were a person, they would have been born at sunset, in those hours when the sky is bathed in intense gold and where you experience that pleasant feeling that there are still many hours left before the end of the day. The city transforms when the sun goes down , that it is not too late, and that is when its streets are filled with light and bustle; and one can already think that one is facing one of the most distinguished cities in Europe.
What is more romantic than dusk? Walk the streets of a city lit up in fall and do it under the protection of a good coat. Seeking warmth and intimacy in a cute cafe .
