Maximilianstrasse

Fodor's Review:

Munich's sophisticated shopping street was named after King Maximilian II, who wanted to break away from the Greek-influenced classical architecture favored by his father, Ludwig I. He thus created this broad boulevard lined with majestic buildings culminating on a rise above the Isar River at the stately Maximilianeum, a lavish 19th-century palace built for Maximilian II and now home to the Bavarian state parliament. Only the terrace can be visited.
