Michael Lambert: Are Things Really Bad Everywhere in Europe?

Jun 21, 2025 | In this video, I visit Munich, the capital of Bavaria and the third largest city in Germany.

The German economy has suffered from the ending of gas supplies from Russia and from a decline in sales to China; however, there are few if any signs of economic decline in Munich.

Although I visited on days when the shops were closed, there were plenty of people in the city centre and pubs, restaurants, beer gardens, and beer halls were all very busy.

Although this was only a brief visit to a small part of the centre of the city, it was clear that the German economy will survive and adapt,

Whilst in Munich, I was also able to visit Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, where I filmed another video which can be viewed here.
