Seville has a drier summer and wet winter. The annual average temperature is 25.4 °C (78 °F) during the day and 13 °C (55 °F) at night. Summer season can lasts from May to October, the latter in spite of the dwindling daylight and inland position.

If you are travelling in winter you still need to take warm jacket for the evening.
The streets are mainly cobbled or block paved and can be very broken/uneven. Recommend taking some sturdy walking shoes.

While there are many local buses that go just about anywhere and a tram that covers a short route.

 


There are a couple of tourist sight seeing bus company's that can give you are guided tour of the main attractions. Tickets from 16 euro allow you to hop on/hop off all day. Good idea if you are not sure is to take a route all the way round to get you bearings and also to see what's on offer. The maps don't always give such a good idea of proximity and what there is on offer.

Munich,Germany

Munich is home to many national and international authorities, major universities, museums and theaters. Its numerous architectural attractions,sports events, exhibitions, conferences and Oktoberfest attract tourism. Since 2006, the city's motto has been "München mag dich" ("Munich loves you").

A mix of old and new buildings.
From the 1100s to current constructions they vary in style size and every combination possible
(see BMW building lower down)
It has a very diverse community from all walks of life.

The name of the city is derived from the Old High German term Munichen, meaning "by the monks". It derives from the monks of the Benedictine order who ran a monastery at the place that was later to become the Old Town of Munich; hence the monk depicted on the city's coat of arms.


South and North views from the fountain albeit it was switched off on the weekend we were there.

You can always find a taxi and there are dedicated taxi ranks at many locations all around the city.
Prices were very reasonable at the time or writing.

One of the best ways of getting around is on the trams (Munich Transport Company, or MVG)
The tram network interconnects with the bus network, Munich U-Bahn and Munich S-Bahn.
You can buy a ticket for a day or more that will allow you to use any of them so you can hop on and off at any time.

There are many 'beer houses,gardens' in Munich. One of the most famous is the Hofbräuhaus. 
The first one built in 1589 on the site of the
Munich royal residence of that time lasting until 1808. The second one built opposite the old Orlandohaus in the the Platzl. Maximilian I square, not far from the original site.

BMW sales showroom and cafe just across the walkway from the BMW museum on the site of the Olympic Park.
If you are into cars then allow yourself a few hours just for the museum alone.
