Slow Travel – The Beauty of Standing Still
Travel expert Amanda Hyde, who has written for Condé Nast Traveller and The Telegraph, explores the art of slow travel across southern Italy.
“In Munich, culture is tradition. It is internationally renowned for its Pinakotheks, the Museum Brandhorst and the Lenbachhaus. One of Munich’s most exciting galleries is Häusler Contemporary, with conceptual paintings and sculptures. It is located in Maximilianstraße, and from there you can walk to other galleries or the art quarter. My secret tip is the Museum for Casts of Classical Statues in the House of Cultural Institutes.
A visit to Munich’s National Theatre is still a must. It is really one of Europe’s grand opera houses, and afterwards I’d recommend dinner at Dallmayr. It is also magnificent for breakfast, because the coffee is kept in porcelain pots from the Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg.”
When visiting Munich this winter, seek out these enthralling exhibitions.
