Add to its benefit the beautiful architecture,
especially Baroque and Rococo, green countryside which starts a
mere half hour away on the
S-Bahn, the second largest
university in Germany, and the greatest beer culture on the planet;
could there be anything wrong with Munich? Yes and no. The
Bavarians are very conservative (although, Munich itself
traditionally has a Social Democratic municipal council), to the
point of being reactionary. This can make it tough to get to know
them, and at the very least, will lead to more than a few raised
eyebrows at your ripped denim shorts.
There's a price to pay for living in a city where everyone else
wants to be: Munich is the most expensive city in
Germany. But all in all, its
advantages make a visit more than worthwhile.

The large

Munich (e.g. on the Viktualienmarkt) is called
Maibaum (meaning may tree - known in English as a maypole)

one. It is cut down every three to five years and re-erected in the

to guard its maypole, because if some other village manages to
steal it, they'll have to buy it back. Usually with beer...

The flea markets in Munich can be
exceptional in that they are generally genuine private citizens
selling their unwanted belongings with a minimum of commercial
interest. In addition to the weekly offerings, you'll find several
neighborhood 'courtyard fleamarkets' events in the summer
months.
- Auer Dult [66] are week-long
market/fests that take place 3 times a year (Spring, Summer and
Autumn) in Haidhausen primarily dealing in
household goods and antiques but also offering beer and amusement
rides. Definitely try to see this if you haven't seen
Oktoberfest!
- Theresienwiese
[67] This has to be the largest annual fleamarket in Europe,
taking place on the first Saturday of the Frühlingsfest (Spring
Festival - occurs in the middle of April) on the same site as the
Oktoberfest, there are generally several thousand citizens offering
up their second-hand goods while dealers of new wares are
forbidden! A yearly highlight for fleamarket and antique lovers if
the weather is reasonable.
- Hofflohmärkte This is where particular Munich
city quarters encourage their residents to open up their courtyards
whereby entire sections of the city become a combination flea
market and private courtyard siteseeing - very interesting for
viewing corners of the city one usually would not see. Event dates
are coordinated by the city; inquire at local information centers
for dates.
- Messegelände Riem [68] At the site of
the former airport, where in recent years the new convention
grounds and residential neighborhood has bloomed, one also finds
the current longest running weekly fleamarket. Although it's at the
edge of town, the underground U2 will take you almost directly
there. .^ For more than 40 years, K has been and still is the biggest international trade fair for plastics and rubber, and takes place once every three years.
- Munich Hotels and Munich Hotel List 28 January 2010 0:31 UTC traveltradeint.com [Source type: News]
)
- Olympiapark
[69] Fine weekly flea market throughout the year, breaking only
when there are Olympia Stadium events. Taking place in the nicely
tree-shaded parking lot of the stadium on Fridays and Saturdays
from 7AM to 4PM.
Visitors can count themselves lucky (or possibly unlucky) since
Munich is home to everything quintessentially
Bavarian.
Munich is specifically well-known for Weißwurst, a breakfast
sausage that is traditionally eaten as a late breakfast along with
a Weissbier (literally 'white beer', made with wheat) and available
in restaurants until noon (and not a second later!). Weißwurst are
prepared in hot but non-boiling water for about ten minutes and
served with a greyish-white mild mustard. If you are able to just
enjoy one meal in Munich you should try
Schweinsbraten
(roasted pork) or
Schweinshaxe (roasted pig's knuckle).

It's not
famous as the
Hofbräuhaus but it's a real insider tip.
If you only fancy a snack, almost every butcher sells
Leberkässemmeln, a white roll filled with a thick warm
slice of "Leberkäse". Which, despite its name contains absolutely
no liver nor cheese, but consists of a mixture of veal, pork,
spices and a hint of lemon zest baked in an open pan and
traditionally served with a sweet and grainy mustard. They tend to
be very cheap (around €1.50), quite delicious, and filling.
Don't miss enjoying some of the truly marvelous German/Austrian
style cakes and tortes by the slice in any of the countless
bakeries and cafes. Regardless of where you enjoy them, they are
all traditionally made with fine quality all natural ingredients.
The same applies for the amazing range of bread which can be bought
at any bakery. Not to be missed as a snack are the soft pretzels
("Brez'n").
If Bavarian food doesn't sound appetizing, you're in luck
because Munich is host to plenty of other international restaurants
including, among others; Afghan, Chinese, French, Indian, Irish,
Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish and Turkish, as
well as the typical American fast food.
Despite all the local dishes which are meat based, it is
possible to get vegetarian food in some of the main restaurants and
indeed there are some Vegetarian restaurants in Munich (one of
which is very "upscale").
Munich also has numerous fresh markets, which can be a tasty,
expedient and inexpensive alternatives to restaurants (see the Buy
section for market listings).
If you happen to be unfortunate enough to miss
Oktoberfest, you can
live through a sanitized, safer version at any of Munich's many
beer gardens. The
Hofbräuhaus may be the most famous beer
hall. There are countless beer gardens scattered around the city.
For those competent beer drinkers, try
Starkbierfest after
Lent lasting till before Easter. The beer is darker and stronger
than normal (even than Oktoberfest beer).
The coffee culture is also very strong, especially during the
summer months, but is often overlooked by most visitors.
Beer gardens and beer
halls
Usually located under large chestnut trees
(Kastanienbäume) for shade. Often there are rows of
fold-away tables and self-service. If you see tablecloths on some
tables there is normally service only there. In a traditional
Bavarian beer garden, you are allowed to bring your food along with
you. Only beverages (usually one litre mugs of local beer or Radler
which is a half and half mix of beer and lemonade) are to be bought
at the beer garden. Many locals still cling to this custom, though
food is available as well. Try Riesenbrezn (big pretzels)
and Steckerlfisch (cured fish). Beer gardens are usually
visited by a mixed crowd of people (locals, tourists, families,
younger, elderly, straight, gay etc.) which the special atmosphere
of a beer garden arises from; though people normally don't go alone
there. If you don't manage to find a free table, don't hesitate to
ask if you may join someone. No local would refuse this request.
Beer gardens are family friendly, with children's play areas on
site. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, on leash.
- Hirschgarten — Europe’s biggest beer garden
with 8000 seats. It's most prominent feature (apart from the size)
is a mini-zoo with deer and wild boars. To get there, take the
S-Bahn to Laim and walk from there.
- Kugleralm — In this traditional beer garden,
the Radler (mixture half beer half lemonade) was invented
in 1922, when lots of cyclists rushed into this beer garden on a
hot summer day. When they ran out of beer, they diluted it with
lemonade, telling the people this mix was invented especially for
cyclists (Radler in Bavarian), because it does not contain so much
alcohol. Take the S5 to Furth. You have to walk
about 15 minutes in western direction. Ask a local for the exact
way, on a nice day there will be many heading in the same
direction.
- Michaeligarten — This beer garden is located
in eastern Munich, in the Michaelipark, near the
Michaelibad. To get there, take the U5 and exit
Michaelibad. Take the front, right hand exit, walk along
the street. Turn right at the next intersection, the go straight
for about 5 minutes.
- Waldwirtschaft — As this beer garden is
located near Munich's high-society area Grünwald, chances
are good to see at least a local celebrity. No oompha bands but
live jazz music. Take S7 to Großhesslohe
(Isartalbahnhof). Walk down the Sollner Straße in
eastern direction to the river Isar.
You have to be at least 18 years old to get into most clubs and
discos in Munich. Always have your passport or ID card with you,
drivers licence may be ok too. Some clubs have "Ü30-Parties", where
you should be over 30 to get in, but usually you have no problems
if you are over 25. In most places, it is ok to wear jeans and
sneakers.
Haidhausen is the popular
nightlife district being home to Munich "Kultfabrik" and
"Optimolwerk" clubbing neighborhood.
- Die Registratur, Blumenstr. 28 [70]. Located in central
Munich. The entrance fee depends on acts (about €10). Well known
for its electronic music, however sometimes you can wait up to an
hour in line.

eight bars, cafés, a restaurant and an amusement arcade, there is
also a swimming pool and a terrace to cool off on. Special effects,

Watt power makes the Night-Flight a unique location. The musical
cross-section is as varied as the rooms: Rave, Rock, Black Mission,
best of music, Hip-Hop and much more are available to the
disco-goers most of whom are between 18 and 25.

central station. The entrance fee is between 7 and 10 euros. 3
dance floors on 4000 square meters, 3 different music styles. Open

Sleep
Munich abounds with accommodation for every type of traveler.
The area directly around the Hauptbahnhof (train station) has
numerous youth hostels, and upscale hotels like Le Meridien and
Sofitel. Schillerstraßer just a hundred meters away has many small
hotels too; the street looks fine in the day, but the strip bars
and cabarets become much more visible at night. There are also
plenty of hotels and youth hostels in other districts of Munich
particularly Schwabing and the Ostbahnhof area. Be aware that the
fares can vary significantly. Usually you have to pay higher prices
during the summer months. Finding affordable accommodation might be
difficult when there are trade fairs in the town and especially
during the 2 weeks of the Oktoberfest. Please see
district articles.
Munich is a huge city, so all individual listings should be
moved to the appropriate district articles, and this section should
contain a brief overview. Please help to move listings if you are

Stay safe
Munich is generally a safe city for travelers: it is one of the
safest German cities overall, with a reported 8,861 criminal
offenses per 100,000 people (2006) (the crime reporting rate is
unknown). Therefore, take the usual precautions (don't walk in
parks alone at 3AM, don't leave your camera unattended, don't flash
around a big, fat wallet etc.) and you will most likely not
encounter any crime at all. But be warned about testing your
maximum level of alcohol intoxication, made easy by the local beer
culture, the accessibility of alcohol and the fact that you're
allowed to drink in public. Being drunk will raise your chances of
inciting a fight, being drugged or injuring yourself dramatically.
Munich is an international city, so you are unlikely to encounter
problems because you're a foreigner. However, the possibility of
encountering racism or other prejudices can never be completely
ruled out.
Schloss Neuschwanstein located two hours south of Munich.
The trains S8 and S1 both go to the airport from Marienplatz
S-Bahn station, but be careful because the S1 line splits into two
separate trains at "Neufahrn" just before the airport so be sure
that you are riding in the section that is actually going to the
airport, which is always the last part of the train. If you find
yourself in the wrong car, just wait until Neufahrn and change into
the last part of the train.
The Bayern Ticket is an amazingly cheap way to do day trips from
Munich. With it you can travel anywhere in Bavaria on the regional
trains all day (only from 9am weekdays). It costs €27 for a group
of up to 5 people, and €19 for a single
[91]. Make sure you buy it from the machines as there is a €2
surcharge if you buy it from the ticket office. There is also the
Schönes Wochenende Ticket which is valid everywhere in Germany and
even a fair way into the
Czech Republic, but it is only valid on
weekends. It costs €35 for a group of up to 5 and is also
restricted to the regional trains.
- Dachau
and Starnberg make for great day trips.
Starnberg offers a great lake, where the King Ludwig II and his
psychiatrist mysteriously drowned.
- Andechs
Monastery— If you miss the Oktoberfest, it is worth
travelling to the holy mountain of Andechs. It's a monastery up a
hill from the Ammersee. Take the S5 from Munich to Herrsching and
then either hike up the hill or take the bus. When you are there
have a look at the old monastery church and the gardens before
focusing on the excellent beer and Schweinshaxen in the beer garden
or in the large beer hall. Makes a great day trip which can also be
combined with some swimming the Ammersee. The hiking trail is
unlit, and a good 30-45 minutes. After dark, a flashlight is
mandatory.
- Garmisch-Partenkirchen
at the foot of Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. About 1.5
hours by regional train (from the Munich Hautpbahnhof) or by car
via Autobahn. The cog railway train to the top of the Zugspitze
leaves regularly from the Garmisch-Partenkirchen train
station.
- Salzburg, Austria, is an easy
day trip from Munich. Trains run from the main Munich station just
about every hour, and take about 1.5 hours. The Bayern Ticket is
valid all the way to Salzburg.
- Nuremberg — It was here that the
some of the leaders of the Nazi regime faced justice. Nuremberg
offers a lot of history for visitors. (Comment by a "local": when
asking for it, preferably use the German name Nürnberg, the English
name Nuremberg is usually unknown).
- Füssen is nestled in the Alps of
southern Bavaria. A train from Munich's main station will take
about two hours with one transfer at Buchloe (purchase the
Bayern-Ticket option mentioned above which is valid for the train
and bus journey to the castle). The town is famous for King Ludwig
II's "fairy-tale castle" Neuschwanstein. It also houses the castle
where Ludwig II grew up (Hohenschwangau). If you go there, buy a
combined ticket for both castles. Neuschwanstein is a must-see, but
Hohenschwangau is historically more interesting, and the tour is so
much better. Not only because there's less tourists and ergo more
time, but also the guides are more knowledgeable and speak better
English. There's a third castle, Linderhof, but it's further away
and difficult to reach without a car (about 1h drive, passing
through Austria). If you have a rental car, it's definitely worth
the trip, and the trip itself is spectacularly beautiful,
landscape-wise.
- Oberammergau is a small town of
unusual houses with brothers Grimm fairy-tale paintings on the
walls.
