- It displayed the majority of Wittelsbach rulers on the main façade and statues of four Bavarian kings on a lower level.

- The basement houses the legendary Ratskeller restaurant.
Englischer Garten
- The size of Central Park in New York City pales compared to the Englischer Garten in Munich, one of the world's largest urban parks.
- The park, which runs from the city centre to northeast Munich, was founded in 1789 but has since been expanded.
- It was inspired by traditional English gardens in the 18th and early 19th centuries.

- The park includes a Japanese teahouse, a meadow where naked sunbathing is permitted, and a surfboarder-friendly artificial wave.

- Travellers who won't be in town then can still enjoy the suds at the Hofbrauhaus, one of the city's oldest brewers.
- The Hofbrauhaus was founded in 1589 by Wilhelm V, Duke of Bavaria, and functioned as the official brewery for Munich's royalty.
- Even back then, the beer had global renown, with Swedish invaders negotiating not to sack Munich in return for 600,000 barrels.
- The brewery and beer hall are two of Munich's most popular tourist attractions today.
