After parking our car in one of the center’s lots, we began our tour to Rosenheim. The sooner you start in the morning, the easier it is to find a spot to park because it was really busy and we had to travel up a few floors to locate a spot. Our tour began with a tour of the lovely city center. The medieval architecture gives the impression that you are in a vintage film, adding to the overall stunning appearance. We would like to present to you a few images taken in Max-Josefs-Platz and Ludwigsplatz in the heart of Rosenheim:
