Why It Feels Like Munich
Riverfront Park’s grand colonnades and the historic Davenport Hotel’s Bavarian‑style façade echo Munich’s Marienplatz. The bustling downtown along Howard Street feels like a modern version of Kaufingerstraße, while the nearby Spokane Falls provide a dramatic backdrop reminiscent of the Isar River. Beer gardens on Riverside Avenue spill onto stone tables, and the annual Oktoberfest‑style celebrations cement the Germanic atmosphere.
