 The 2nd of June in Italy is a feast "Festa della Repubblica (literally Festival of the Republic or, in English, Republic Day) is celebrated in  on the second of June each year. The day commemorates the institutional referendum held by universal suffrage in 1946, in which the Italian people were called to the polls to decide on the form of government, following the Second World War and the fall of Fascism".

We were so astonish to find in Munchen everything closed (the 2nd of June)...it seems there was a feast as well....couldn't find up what it was...for sure is a religious feast...but we coud'nt understand what it was about...everything was written in German!!Undecided

Lovely city... plainty of museums and art galeries with some famous masterpieces....a lot of nice beer...nice food ....a very big park "English Garden"...beautiful buildings..and fountains...(I love it).

I forgot to say that people are very cherfull...

    Hi Paula,

    Ascension Day , to celebrate the going to heaven of Jesus after 40 days after His Resurrection in the presence of His 11 Apostles, is a public holiday in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greenland, Haiti, Indonesia, Iceland, Colombia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Namibia, Netherlands and Norway. In Italy, Poland and Hungary, the festival was abolished as a legal holiday a few years ago and is now celebrated on the following Sunday in church.
