Occupied shady spots, overcrowded meadows: On Saturday, summer will be welcomed in the city with lots of naked skin and cool drinks, but also with skepticism: If it’s already so warm, what else is there to come? A tour.
The two women sitting alone in the sun at the Chinese Tower may be able to answer the question. There’s a buzz of chattering people all around them, the brass band is playing cheers from above and all the shady spots are occupied. Except for the two of them, no one is sitting on the beer benches in the sun on Saturday lunchtime. It’s simply too hot. On the first really warm day of the year in Munich. And the question is here in the beer garden, at the Monopteros, on the crowded meadow below, on the Isar or at Gärtnerplatz: How does this day actually feel?
