Had a 6-hour layover in Munich early in the morning and decided to make the most of it rather than spend the whole time at the airport. Once I factored in the trip into the city and getting back for my next flight, I didn't have a huge amount of time, but I still managed to see quite a bit of the historic center.
Obviously a few hours isn't nearly enough to experience Munich properly, but it was such a nice little introduction to the city. Definitely want to come back and explore more without having to worry about catching another flight!
Here are some of my favorite snaps from the morning. Locations below in photo order:
