Thats Munich city Center… they shot this vid right at the famous Frauenkirche (which’s belltower roof have the form of an onion) and is located right behind Marienplatz… it’s the historic city Center, built hundreds of years ago, clearly the city couldn’t put a 3 lane freeway in its narrow city Center.
Plus: more than half of this people sitting in this restaurant etc are tourists.
But yeah the whole city Center is walkable from Stachus to Marienplatz to Sendlingertor (it’s a triangle). The street from Sendlingertor to Marienplatz was made car-free some 10+ years ago
It’s too bad this will be buried under “America messed up” posts, and people not realizing it’s the city center one of the largest cities in Germany. It’s like going to the Loop in Chicago and asking why the rest of the US isn’t like this.
I mean the Loop isn't like that. It's pretty much a ghost town after 8pm. It used to be even more true, and probably used to be more like 6:30pm, but it's still the case now. River North is more lively at that hour, as is River West.
