On Friday afternoon, we will meet at Munich Residence, once the city castle of the Bavarian dukes, princes and emperors. We have organized a guided tour (in English) lasting about 90 minutes.

After that, you will have a chance to discover the historic center of Munich on your own. You can visit the Marienplatz with its gothic style town hall, the Frauenkirche or enjoy a great view from the tower of St. Peter (and get some exercise by climbing the 299 steps to the top). Also, many other sights, cafés and pubs are nearby.

At 7:00pm, we will rejoin for our conference dinner at the Ratskeller München at the Marienplatz, where we will enjoy a Bavarian evening and taste the famous Bavarian beer.
