Haidhausen

Haidhausen is a mixed residential and night life area just to the east of Munich's historic city center on the eastern banks of the river Isar. It consists largely of the boroughs of Haidhausen, Au, Alt-Bogenhausen, and Untergiesing. Au-Haidhausen, founded towards the beginning of the 9th century, was originally a quarter for day laborers and craftsmen, outside the city fortifications. It was incorporated into the city of Munich in 1854. The center of this neighborhood is the French Quarter - the streets here are named after places in France and the layout of the street grid copies that of French cities - right in front of Munich East station. Although heavily destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II, there are still some buildings preserved from the end of the 18th century. Today, Au-Haidhausen is a popular district to live in. Moreover, the area has a very high density of bars and clubs, with Kultfabrik (which claims to be the largest party zone in Europe, as it has been developed into a maze of bars, clubs, skate parks, cinemas, games halls, climbing walls, etc.) and Optimolwerke being the most famous. Contrary to Au-Haidhausen, Alt-Bogenhausen was virtually undamaged during WWII and today is one of the most exclusive residential areas of Munich. Untergiesing, which was incorporated into Munich together with its northers neighbors, used to be a typical working-class neighborhood. Its main attractions nowadays are the recultivated banks of the Isar, where people on warm summer evenings gather to enjoy a local beer and relax in the sun. The area roughly is bounded by the river Isar to the west, Mittlerer Ring (B2R) urban expressway to the north and north-east, Leuchtenbergring and Ampfingstraße to the east, and Werinherstraße and Candidstraße (B 2R) to the south.

By car Edit

The Haidhausen area is close to the ends of autobahns A 8, A 995 from the south and A 94 from eastern directions, and therefore easily accessible by car. The main arteries of the area running from east to west (and vice versa) are Prinzregentenstraße and Einsteinstraße in the north of the area, which connect the city center to autobahn A 94, and Rosenheimer Straße, which cuts right through the center of the area and conncets the city center with autobahn A 8. Going from north to south (and vice versa) the most important streets are Orleansstraße, Tegernseer Landstraße, and Richard-Strauss-Straße. Traffic can be very heavy, especially during rush hours, and parking is scarce and mostly limited to residents with special parking permits.

By suburban train (S-Bahn) Edit

• 48.127813 11.604492 1Ostbahnhof (Munich East Station) is one of Munich's two Category 1 railway stations which offers regional and interregional connections. Almost all S-Bahn lines pass through the station as it is the endpoint of the S-Bahn backbone tunnel. It also provides a U-Bahn station (U5 Ostbahnhof), a tram station (line 19), and a terminal for urban and regional buses.
• S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S3, S4, S6, S7, S8, and S27 stop at Ostbahnhof (Munich East Station) and Rosenheimer Platz.
• S-Bahn lines S2, S4, S6, and S8' at Ostbahnhof (Munich East Station) go on in north-eastern direction and serve the station at Leuchtenbergring, while S3 and S7 branch off to the south to stop at Sankt-Martin-Straße.

By subway (U-Bahn) Edit

• Subway line U1 (dark green), coming from the city center at Sendlinger Tor and traversing Isarvorstadt, stops at Kolumbusplatz and Candidplatz in the very south of the area, and goes on in southern direction.

• Subway lines U2 (red) and U7 (gold), coming from the city center at Sendlinger Tor, operate in the very south of the area as well and stop at Kolumbusplatz, Silberhornstraße, and Karl-Preis-Platz to go on in eastern direction.

• Subway line U4 (light green), coming from the city center at Odeonsplatz, stops at Max-Weber-Platz, Prinzregentenplatz, Böhmerwaldplatz, and Richard-Strauss-Straße serves the Alt-Bogenhausen area in the north of the district.

• Subway line U5 (brown), coming from the city center at Odeonsplatz, stops at Max-Weber-Platz and Munich East (Ostbahnhof) and goes on in south-eastern direction.

By tram Edit

• Tram lines 15 and 25 run though the whole area from south to north with stops including Max-Weber-Platz and Ostfriedhof and connect it to the southern parts of East Munich.

• Tram line 16, coming from the city center at Sendlinger Tor and Isartor serves the north-western and northern parts of the area with a number of stops along Innere Wiener Straße with stops at Am Gasteig, Wiener Platz, Max-Weber-Platz, and Friedensengel, and the terminus at Effnerplatz.

• Tram line 17, arriving from the city center at Sendlinger Tor, cuts through the southern center of the Haidhausen area with stops including Marishilfplatz and Ostfriedhof to continue in south-eatern direction.

• To reach the northernmost parts of the ditrict around Effnerplatz you can also use tram line 18', which runs along the left banks of the Isar to cross into northern Alt-Bogenhausen at Tivolistraße. It continues further north into the Bogenhausen area of East Munich.

• Tram line 19, coming from the very city center at Nationaltheater, cuts through the northern center of area with stops including Maximilianeum, Max-Weber-Platz, and Ostbahnhof. It goes on to the central part of East Munich.

By bicycle Edit

Going to the Haidhausen area by bike - though only a short way from the city center with bike lanes along the streets - is rather for the sporty type, as the ascent from river Isar up to the center of Haidhausen is quite steep.

As most of the locations of touristic interest are within an 800 m radius around Munich East (Ostbahnhof), it's no problem to explore the area on foot. Another option are Tram lines 15 and 25, which cover the whole area, and Tram line 16, which will take you to all major sights of the area. As everywhere in Munich, exploring the area by bike is always an option - however, in this case it's rather for the sporty type as there are some steep ascents in the area.

Käfer is a name, that is familiar to most Munich residents as a top address for fine dining. Käfer-Schänke across the street from Prinzregententheater is a sure thing, if you want to taste great food - and pay accordingly. The restaurant is a Munich institution. Besides the main room, there are 12 private dining rooms available in various styles and sizes. The culinary delight and pampering service comes at a high price, even by the otherwise not cheap Munich standards.

• 48.13117 11.60652 11L'Angolo della Pizza ( Italian ), Breisacher Straße 30 ( S-Bahn & U-Bahn: Ostbahnhof ), ☎ +49 89 4488979 , e-mail: langolo@online.de . M-F 11:30-14:00 & 17:30-0:30, Sa-Su 16:00-0:30 . While this place looks rather unimpressive from the outside it is one of best places in the area to eat pizza. Downer is the poor service. Monday is pizza day with most pizzas for €5.50, while Wednesday is pasta day with all pasta dishes from €5.50-6.50. Pasta from €6.30; meat & fish dishes from €12;, pizza from €7 .

The restaurant and bar with live-stage for concerts and DJs was the former works canteen of the decommissioned Pfanni factory (1969–1996), and since 1996 one of the first venues of the party area Kunstpark Ost. It is thus the most traditional venue in Werksviertel today. They serve American food, such as burgers, pizza and pasta at a good value for money. The restaurant is quite vibey, accentuated by the loud electronic music played by various DJs. Great meeting spot. €5.80-6.90 .

• 48.12424 11.59609 14Tassilo da Sebastiano ( Italian ), Balanstraße 34 ( S-Bahn: Rosenheimer Platz ), ☎ +49 89 485134 . M-F & Su 11:30-15:00 & 18:00-00:00, Sa 18:00-00:00 . Don't be frightened by the creepy outside of this restaurant. Excellent food for reasonable prices, meat and fish dishes are really recommendable (while not cheap). Fine selection of good Italian wines. It's run by an Italian family and the staff is quite funny while sometimes a little bit scatterbrained. Pasta from €7, pizza from €6.30, meat from €13.50 .

• 48.13124 11.59594 15Vinaiolo ( Italian ), Steinstraße 42 ( halfway between Rosenheimer Platz and Woerthstraße ), ☎ +49 89 489 50 356 . Housed in a former pharmacy, it uses its historic furnishings to display its impressive wine collections. Ran by Italians and Italian from head to toe, with the main menu changing weekly, and a different four-course evening set menu daily. Pretty much impossible to get a table without a reservation at least one day prior.

A very small (20 people max) and cozy bar with a impressive selection of rum, gin, and whiskeys. The proprietor is an artist when it comes to mixing cocktails and always has an open ear for the problems of his guests. Beer (0.5L) €3.40, Cocktails €6.80 .

• 48.13358 11.59713 7Johannis Café , Johannisplatz 15 ( U-Bahn U4, U5 & Tram 15, 16 , 19, 25: Max-Weber-Platz ), ☎ +49 89 4801240 . W-M 11:00-open end (mostly around 6:00) . When all other locations close and you still haven't enough, the Johannis Café is still open and waiting for you. It's very popular with locals, especially in the very late hours of the night / very early hours of the morning. The mix of customers is strange, as is the interior.

• 48.13133 11.59599 8Maria Passagne, Steinstraße 42 ( U-Bahn U4, U5 & Trams 15, 16, 19, 25: Max-Weber-Platz ), ☎ +49 89 486167 . M-Th 19:00-01:00, F-Sa . No sign and just a bell at the door - when you pass by this bar you won't find it if you are not specifially looking for it. After ringing said bell and gaining entrance you find yourself in a small, dim lit bar with a very intimate atmosphere and good cocktails and long drinks - an almost perfect place for a (second or third) date.

• 48.13089 11.59449 9Molly Malones Irish Pub, Kellerstraße 21 ( S-Bahn: Rosenheimer Platz ), ☎ +49 89 6887510 . M-F 17:00-01:00, Sa-Su 12:00-01:00 .

• 48.12587 11.57872 10Schwarzer Hahn, Ohlmüllerstraße 8 ( Tram 17: Eduard-Schmid-Straße ), ☎ +49 173 3619237 , e-mail: carstenpauer@yahoo.de . M-Th 20:00-1:00, F-Sa 20:00-3:00 . Schwarzer Hahn (which translates to Black Cock) is one of Munich's most famous dive bars and very popular with the hip crowd from the neighbouring Gärtnerplatz area. The longdrinks and cocktails menu is comprehensive, but the audience mostly sticks to beer. The relatively cheap prices plus the rather long opening hours make the bar a popular spot for a nightcap - and all previous drinks.

• 48.127830 11.599488 11Spezlwirtschaft, Pariser Str. 34 ( S-Bahn & U-Bahn: Ostbahnhof, Tram: 19 ), ☎ +49 89 44992999 , e-mail: info@spezlwirtschaft.me . 5pm–1am .

Vivo! is an offbeat, slighthly leftist bar in the French quarter of Haidhausen, which makes it somewaht special in its own right in this rather upscale neighbourhood. Although the focus of the place is definitely on drinks, the choice of warm dishes is rather comprehensive. The bar is a sanctuary for all those, who do not want to go to the rather posh places around.

Clubs Edit

• 48.120209 11.570678 13Charlie, Schyrenstraße 8, 81543 München ( U1,U2,U7: Kolumbusplatz ), e-mail: br@charl.ie . Smaller techno club but with a high-grade dj line-up.

• 48.12202 11.60648 14Crown's Club, Rosenheimerstraße 145h ( S-Bahn & U-Bahn: Ostbahnhof ), ☎ +49 160 90339991 . Th 23:00-05:00, Sa 23:00-06:00 . Opened by the former bouncer of the P1 Club. It has capacity for 500 guests and was meant to be extremely exclusive. But as there are three clubs in Munich trying to be "extremely exclusive" (P1 and 8 Seasons being the others) you may have a chance to get in (if you are well dressed, of course).

• 48.13541 11.60089 15Jazzclub Unterfahrt ( Jazz club ), Einsteinstraße 42 ( U-Bahn U4, U5: Max-Weber-Platz ), ☎ +49 89 4482794 . 19:30-01:00; concerts start at 21:00 . Jazz club that specializes in great jazz performances. Beer (0.5L) €3.50, Wine (0.2L) €4.70 .

• 48.13301 11.58967 16Muffatwerk, Zellstraße 4 ( S-Bahn: Isartor or Rosenheimer Platz ), ☎ +49 89 45875010 . This "art factory" and former electricity plant in the heart of Munich has a truly inspired club and a concert hall with café. From the classic "Into Something Friday" or an "Exclusive Line-Up", the Muffatwerk always has something "great" to offer. And if you get tired from dancing you can treat yourself to some well earned rest in the nearby café/bistro. South to the large concert venue which is called Muffathalle and right beneath the widely visible chimney, there is a smaller club called 48.132866 11.589472 17Ampere. which is one of the best venues for indie rock concerts in Munich.

Clubs at Werksviertel & Optimolwerke Edit

This place is a 60,000 m² (72,000 yd²) entertainment mecca. After Europe's then largest disco complex - located in the terminal buildings of the former Munich airport - had to close in 1996, the city had to find a replacement for the crowds of partygoers. It was called Kunstpark Ost (KPO) because of its location in a former industrial complex near the eastern railway station. Rumors about closing this area started soon and in 2003 it looked as if the days of the KPO were coming to an end, so some of the clubs moved to an area 200 m (220 yd) in the west, 48.12407 11.60487 18 Optimolwerke . However, most clubs in the original area, which is called 48.12410 11.60725 19 Werksviertel now, remain open.

Werksviertel and Optimolwerke (and two more discos on the west end of the whole area) are one big complex and most people do not distinguish whether they go to Werksviertel or Optimolwerke. To have more than 30 discos, clubs and bars on a relatively small area is brilliant and efficient as there is something for (nearly) every taste. And if you don't get into one, there is always another club to try. The crowds don't arrive until midnight or later, but if you come earlier, you are more likely to get cheaper/free entry.

Munich

Munich (German: München, Bavarian: Minga) is the capital city of the German federal state of Bavaria. Within the city limits, Munich has a population of more than 1.5 million, making it the third most populous city in Germany. Greater Munich including its suburbs has a population of 2.7 million. The Munich metropolitan region which extends to cities like Augsburg or Ingolstadt has a population of more than 5.6 million.

Located at the river Isar in Southern Bavaria, it is famous for its beautiful architecture, fine culture, and the annual Oktoberfest beer festival. Munich has a thriving cultural scene and many travellers are absolutely stunned by the quality of the architecture. Although it was heavily damaged by Allied bombing during World War II, many of its historic buildings have been rebuilt and the city centre appears mostly as it did in the early 1900s, including its largest church, the Frauenkirche cathedral, and the famous City Hall.

Munich is a major international centre of business, engineering and research, exemplified by the presence of two research universities, several multinational companies, and world class technology and science museums like the Deutsches Museum and BMW Museum.

Munich is divided into 25 administrative districts. However, those districts don't necessarily reflect historical relationships and connections of neighbourhoods, or make much sense to travellers. Therefore, the districts provided below describe entities in a travel rather than administrative sense. Most of Munich's main attractions are in the Altstadt and Maxvorstadt; the districts of Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt and Haidhausen are major night-life spots. The other areas, while mostly residential, feature some hidden gems, which are definitely worth a visit.

The city centre with a pedestrian zone that is one big shopping street, and the majority of Munich's most famous travel sights around Marienplatz

The Brain of Munich with a relaxed and studenty atmosphere, which is home to most attractions that aren't located in the city centre, including the world famous galleries Pinakotheken, along with cozy cafés and bars and several universities

Night-life area immediately south of the centre, home to many cafés, restaurants, bars, clubs and theatres, hotels and hostels, and the focal point of Munich's gay scene. Here find Munich Central Station, the Oktoberfest grounds and, last but not least, the Deutsches Museum, the world's biggest museum of science and engineering.

Around the station Munich East, to which Europe's largest contiguous party area Kultfabrik & Optimolwerke draws tens of thousands of people every weekend

The Northern part of Munich is full of parks, gardens and relaxation areas. It includes the district of Schwabing, dominated by 19th-century architecture and the famously expansive English Garden, the park and palace of Nymphenburg, the Olympiagelände (site of the 1972 Olympic Games) with the BMW Welt and the Allianz Arena in the far north end.

A mostly residential area with an upmarket neighbourhood to the north, a working-class neighbourhood and the Bavaria Film Studios to the south, the Munich trade fair grounds in the east, and the Flaucher beaches along the east side of the river Isar in the west.

Scarcely populated in the west and mainly residential area in the south, with the main attractions Munich Zoo and the Flaucher river islands lying in the east of the area along the river Isar.

“You do not even go somewhere else, I tell you there's nothing like Munich. Everything else is a waste of time in Germany”

Ernest Hemingway on Munich

History Edit

The year 1158 is the earliest date the city is mentioned in a document signed in Augsburg. By that time, Henry the Lion had built a bridge over the river Isar next to a settlement of Benedictine monks. Almost two decades later, in 1175 Munich was officially granted city status and received fortification. In 1180, with the trial of Henry the Lion, Otto I Wittelsbach became Duke of Bavaria and Munich was handed over to the Bishop of Freising. The Wittelsbach dynasty would rule Bavaria until 1918. In 1255, when the Duchy of Bavaria was split in two, Munich became the ducal residence of Upper Bavaria. In the late 15th century, Munich underwent a revival of Gothic arts: the Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) was enlarged, and Munich's largest Gothic church, the Frauenkirche cathedral, was constructed in only 20 years, starting in 1468.

When Bavaria was reunited in 1506, Munich became its capital. The arts and politics became increasingly influenced by the court, and Munich became a centre of the German counter-reformation as well as of Renaissance arts. The Catholic League was founded in Munich in 1609. During the Thirty Years' War, Munich became an electoral residence. In 1632, the city was occupied by Swedish King Gustav II Adolph.

After World War I, the city was at the centre of political unrest. In November 1918, on the eve of revolution, the royal family fled the city. After the murder of the first republican premier of Bavaria in February 1919, the Bavarian Soviet Republic was proclaimed, but it was put down on 3 May 1919 by conservative troops. While the republican government had been restored, Munich subsequently became a hotbed of extremist politics, among which Adolf Hitler and National Socialism rose to prominence. In 1923 Hitler and his supporters, who were then concentrated in Munich, staged the Beer Hall Putsch, an attempt to overthrow the Weimar Republic and seize power. The revolt failed, resulting in Hitler's arrest and the temporary crippling of the Nazi Party, which was virtually unknown inside and outside Munich at that time.

The city once again became a Nazi stronghold when the National Socialists took power in Germany in 1933. The National Socialist Workers Party created the first concentration camp at Dachau, 15km (10 mi) north-west of the city. Because of its importance to the rise of National Socialism, Munich was referred to as the "Capital of the Movement" ("Hauptstadt der Bewegung"). Munich was also the base of the White Rose (Weiße Rose), a student resistance movement from June 1942 to February 1943. However, the core members—including Hans and Sophie Scholl—were arrested and executed following a distribution of leaflets at the University of Munich. The city was heavily damaged by allied bombing during World War II, with 90% of the historic city centre and 50% overall destroyed.

After the US occupation in 1945, Munich was completely rebuilt. Munich was the site of the 1972 Olympic Summer Games, during which Israeli athletes were assassinated by Palestinian terrorists.

Economy Edit

Munich is the German economic powerhouse, with six out of the 30 companies listed in the German blue-chip stock-market index DAX. This includes luxury car maker BMW, electrical engineering giant Siemens, and the world's largest insurance company Allianz, to name just the biggest companies.

The Munich region is a centre for aerospace, biotechnology, software and service industries. As the largest publishing city in Europe, Munich is home to Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany's largest and most influential daily newspapers. Germany's largest commercial network, Pro7-Sat1 Media AG is located in Eastern Munich.

Munich's flourishing local economy is reflected in its place in quality-of-life rankings of world cities. Monocle magazine even named it the world's most livable city in 2010. People continue to flock into the city due to its proximity to the Alps and some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe, especially Baroque and Rococo architecture and green countryside which starts a mere half hour away on the S-Bahn. However, there's a price to pay for living here: Munich is the most expensive city in Germany. Real estate development and hotel construction are a regular sight, but so far, demand outstrips supply by far.

Culture Edit

The people of Munich do not like their city to be associated only as a city of beer and the Oktoberfest, and indeed the Bavarian Kings transformed Munich into a city of arts and science in the 19th century, and also quite notable architecture. Many of the city's finest buildings belong to this period and were built under the first three Bavarian kings during the first half of the 19th century. Munich's outstanding position among other German cities may have faded a bit, due to Berlin becoming the German capital again in the 1990s, but it is still a vibrant and important city of culture.

The Nationaltheater, where several of Richard Wagner's operas had their premières under the patronage of King Ludwig II, is the home of the world famous Bavarian State Opera and the Bavarian State Orchestra. Next door the modern Residenz Theatre was erected in the building that had housed the Cuvilliés Theatre before World War II. Many operas were staged there, including the premiere of Mozart's "Idomeneo" in 1781. The Gärtnerplatz Theatre is a ballet and musical state theatre, while another opera house, Prinzregententheater has become the home of the Bavarian Theatre Academy. The modern Gasteig center houses the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.

Many prominent writers worked in Munich. The period immediately before World War I saw economic and cultural prominence for the city. Munich and especially its then suburbs of Schwabing and Maxvorstadt, became the domicile of many artists and writers. Nobel laureate Thomas Mann, who also lived there, wrote ironically in his novella "Gladius Dei" about this period, "Munich shone". It remained a center of cultural life during the Weimar period with figures such as Bertolt Brecht and Lion Feuchtwanger.

Bavaria has been the long-time antipode of Berlin: While the Protestant Prussian kings focused on building military strength, Bavaria's Catholic Wittelsbach kings were more interested in creating a centre of arts and science following the examples of cities in northern Italy. Bavaria takes a position among the German states with a strong emphasis on its independence and has its own conservative party, the CSU, which strongly advocates Bavarian interests in Berlin.

Münchner share a lot of characteristics with the rest of Bavaria and indeed it became popular again among older and younger people to wear traditional Bavarian clothing at least during the Oktoberfest and similar traditional beer festivals. One notable difference is politics: whereas the rest of Bavaria is a stronghold of conservative Catholicism, Munich has been governed by a liberal coalition of Social Democrats, Greens and the Rosa Liste (a gay rights party), and only 36.2% of residents are members of the Catholic church while 13.3% are Protestant, 0.3% Jewish and 50.3% are members of another religion or follow no religion.

Language Edit

The official language in Munich is, of course, German. With many Munich residents coming from other German regions or from abroad, "Standard German" dominates as the spoken language in Munich. Nevertheless, some residents speak with a more or less strong Bavarian dialect, which can deviate substantially from the German taught at schools. English is widely spoken and understood throughout the city in restaurants, cafés, tourist attractions and shops, and by many citizens. Munich has been the destination of a lot of immigration, particularly from Turkey and what used to be Yugoslavia. However, second or third generation descendants of immigrants do not necessarily speak "the old language" well or at all.

Climate Edit

Munich has a continental climate, strongly modified by the city's altitude and proximity to the northern edge of the Alps. This means that precipitation is high, and rainstorms can come violently and unexpectedly.

Winters last from December to March. Munich experiences cold winters, but heavy rainfall or snowfall is rarely seen in the winter. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of −2.2°C (28.0°F). Snow cover is seen for at least a couple of weeks during winter. Summers in Munich are warm and pleasant, with an average maximum of 23.8°C (73.8°F) in the hottest months. Summers last from May until September.

An oddity of Munich is the föhn wind, a warm and dry down-slope wind from the Alps, which can raise temperatures sharply within a few hours, even in winter, and increases the range of sight to more than 100 km (60 mi). These winds are sometimes associated with illnesses ranging from migraines to psychosis. The first clinical review of these effects was published by the Austrian physician Anton Czermak in the 19th century. Residents of Munich sometimes use the Föhn as an excuse for having a bad mood, which should not be taken too seriously.

By plane Edit

Munich Airport Edit

Munich's main airport is 48.353889 11.786111 1 Franz Josef Strauß International Airport ( MUC IATA ) ( 30 km (19 mi) to the north-east, close to the city of Freising. ). It's Germany's second busiest airport and Lufthansa's second hub. Built in the 1990s, it's reasonably modern and spacious. The simplest way to reach the city centre is by S-bahn (suburban train) - follow the signs to the station beneath the terminal. Lines S1 and S8 both go direct to the city centre, taking 45 mins, for a single fare of €11.20. Trains run about every 10 mins daytime, and keep running at reduced frequency all night.

Allgäu Airport Memmingen Edit

Allgäu Airport Memmingen (FMM IATA ) is around 110km (65 mi) west of Munich close to Memmingen. It's rather misleadingly marketed as "Munich West" by Ryanair. Other names include "Memmingen Airport" or "Flughafen Allgäu". There are shuttle buses to Munich with timetables aligned to Ryanair's schedule. One-way tickets are €19.50, or €15 if pre-booked via the internet. The buses arrive (and leave) close to Munich Central Station.

By train Edit

• 48.140833 11.555 2Munich Central Station ( Hauptbahnhof or main station ) ( 5 mins on foot from the historic city centre of Munich in Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district. ). To the very heart of Munich at Marienplatz it's just two stops on the suburban train (S-Bahn). Munich Central is well connected to the city's dense public transportation network.The station has a traveller-friendly infrastructure including several restaurants, shops, a tourist information and a Deutsche Bahn ticket and travel agency office. There are left-luggage lockers, with a flat fee (coins only) for up to 24 hours of €4 for a small locker, or €6 for a large one.

Deutsche Bahn uses Munich as one of its main German hubs and operates direct regional and long-distance connections from many German cities. This includes several connections with ICE, TGV, and railjet high-speed trains:

• ICE 11 from Augsburg, Ulm, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Fulda, Kassel, Göttingen, Braunschweig, Berlin
• ICE 25 from (Nuremberg,) Würzburg, Fulda, Kassel, Göttingen, Hannover, Hamburg
• ICE 28 from Nuremberg, Jena, Leipzig, Berlin, Hamburg
• ICE 31 from Nuremberg, Würzburg, Frankfurt, Mainz, Koblenz, Bonn, Cologne, Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund, Osnabrück, Bremen, Hamburg, Kiel
• ICE 41 from Nuremberg, Würzburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Duisburg, Essen
• ICE 42 from Augsburg, Ulm, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Cologne, Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund

• RJ 61 to Salzburg, Linz, Vienna, Budapest

• TGV 9575/9576 to Augsburg, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Strasbourg, Paris

The once extensive network of sleeper trains serving Munich has been curtailed quite a bit and none of them are run by DB any more. However Nightjet operated by ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) still serves Munich as do some seasonal trains from other operators.

Two other train stations are located in the west (Munich Pasing) and the east (Munich East (Ostbahnhof)) of Munich. Both stations are connected to the public transportation system and serve as transportation hubs for Deutsche Bahn's regional and long-distance trains.

By car Edit

Munich is well connected to other cities in Germany and Austria by the German autobahn network:

• A 8 connects Munich with Augsburg, Ulm, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe in the west and Rosenheim and Salzburg in the east
• A 9 leads to Ingolstadt, Nuremberg, Leipzig and Potsdam/Berlin in the north
• A 92 connects Munich with Landshut and Deggendorf in the north-east
• A 94 has only been partially completed and will lead to Passau
• A 95 connects Munich with Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the south
• A 96 connects Munich with Lindau at Lake Constance in the south-west

Autobahn A 99 is an autobahn ring around the city, which connects the various autobahns. Munich has two inner ring roads in addition to the A 99: Mittlerer Ring (B 2R) and Altstadtring. While the latter two form a complete circle, the A99 does not and likely never will.

Traffic in Munich can be a challenge at peak times. Therefore, and especially due to the shortage of parking within the greater city centre, you might want to leave the car in a P&R parking deck (see the "Get around" section) in one of Munich's suburbs near an S-Bahn station and use public transport within the city.

By bus Edit

Long-distance buses can be an inexpensive way to travel to Munich from several neighbouring countries, especially from eastern and southern Europe and the Balkans. Buses arrive at 48.1424 11.5499 3 Munich Central Bus Station ( ZOB ) ( close to Hackerbrücke suburban train (S-Bahn) station ). The website informs you about all departures and arrivals and also lists the company operating any given line. While historically domestic buses were few and far between, there are now a number of domestic bus lines as well. Despite signs, itineraries, and maps that imply that ZOB is right next the central train station, it's actually a 10-15min walk from one to the other due to the train tracks in the area. Munich ZOB is one of the few stations in Germany that is able to cope with the growth in the market since 2012 and one of a very few with significant shopping and dining options. Compared to even some other major city ZOBs (or curbside stops), Munich ZOB is a breath of fresh air.

Due to the ever-changing bus market, it would be a fool's errand to try to list all bus connections leaving and arriving from Munich ZOB, however, the main player in the market by far is Flixbus with a few other German and international companies also serving Munich, including Deinbus Eurolines, Sindbad and Deutsche Bahn subsidiary IC Bus (bookable as if it were an IC/ICE train).

By public transport Edit

The best way to travel around Munich—besides using your own feet—is the public transport system consisting of the urban rapid rail trains (S-Bahn), subway (U-Bahn), the tram and buses. There is only one ticket system, called MVV, which means you can use all elements of the public transport system with the same ticket. You can get individual, group, day and week tickets. The U-Bahn stations are signed with a white capital "U" on a blue background. S-Bahn stations are signed with a white "S" on a green background. All S-Bahn lines join in one tunnel (Stammstrecke) between the stations Donnersbergerbrücke and Ostbahnhof in central Munich.

The Munich MVV website includes maps of the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus network, maps of the P&R parking decks, pricing information as well as timetables and a journey planner. The official urban rail-network map is indispensable.

Single trips in a single zone such as the city centre cost €2.80, but the four-zone journey from the airport is a whopping €11.20. Thus, if you arrive at the airport and intend to explore Munich by the public transport system, the best option is to buy a €12.80 Gesamtnetz (whole network) day pass. If you are not travelling alone, then you can purchase a group ("Partner") day pass for €23.90, allowing up to five adults to travel together on all lines of the MVV system. There's also an "Airport-City-Day-Ticket" available for individuals (€12.80) and groups (€23.90) which is basically the same as the day pass.

A day ticket is worth buying if you plan to take more than two trips on the same day. It is available for single persons and groups. Groups mean two to five adults travelling together (two kids count as an adult), and if two adults are travelling it is already a saving. It is valid until 06:00 the next morning. The day ticket is available for four areas:

*depending on the number of zones (1, 2 or 3)

*Cheaper option for a single trip in any direction: combining a inner district (Innenraum) single ride (€2.70) and a outer district (Außenraum) day pass (€6.30). Validate both tickets when starting your journey.

If you are staying longer than three days in Munich, a good option is to buy a week ticket. The week ticket is valid for 7 consecutive days. The price of the weekly ticket depends on the number of "rings" you want to travel during the week (starting from the centre of the city). "Rings" for week and month tickets are different from the zones used for single ride and day tickets. There are 16 rings in total. Almost all U-Bahn stations are within the rings 1–4. As of April 2017, a week ticket ("IsarCard") for rings 1-2 costs €15.00. Rings 1-4 cost €21.60.

For several journeys on different days the blue stripe card (Streifenkarte), with 10 strips, is a better value than buying lots of individual tickets. The cost is €13.50, and may be purchased at dispensing machines at every station. You need to use two strips for each coloured zone on the map. People aged 20 years or younger need to use only one stripe for each zone. Children age 6-14 need only one stripe, regardless of the zones. If you are making several trips a day, the day ticket is a better option.

If you plan to explore Munich and see all the sights and tourist attractions, buy the Munich CityTourCard; this a valid for all public transportation services in Munich and a discount card for many tourist attractions like museums, sights, shopping or gastronomy. It is available in ten versions (single and group tickets) and with validity for one (only for the inner district), three days and four days.

A leaflet with information about the discount offers of the partners and a map of the city centre and a plan of the public transportation network are included. The ticket is available at ticket vending machines at all S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations and at some tram and bus stops. Furthermore it can be purchased at the MVG customer centre as well as in selected hotels and online. [1]

All tickets, except for season tickets (weekly or longer) and tickets bought onboard buses and trams must be stamped to be valid; without a stamp the ticket is invalid and you can be fined €60. Stamping machines (Entwerter) are found at the entrance to the S-Bahn or U-Bahn platforms, and inside buses and trams (look for a small blue machine with a black "E" on yellow ground). In most other German cities, passengers can validate tickets on the train; however, this is not the case in Munich, so be sure to validate your ticket before boarding any U-Bahn or S-Bahn train.

Public transportation operates with limited service from 02:00 to 05:00. The U-Bahn does not operate at all during this time, and trams and some buses operate only in one hour intervals from Monday to Friday and on 30-minute intervals on the weekend. On Friday, Saturday and nights before public holidays, there is a single S-Bahn on each line between 02:30 and 03:00. So if you're staying out late, try to get the schedule of the so-called Nachttram (night tram) in advance or do not leave the place before 05:00 unless you want to take a taxi.

MVV-Companion, journey planner for public transport in Munich, to be used on iPhone, iPad and Android-Smartphones and for free. Also available are München Navigator and MVG Fahrinfo München, which both allow direct purchase of virtually all tickets. Both apps are available for Android and iOS for free.

If you plan to explore Munich and Bavaria via regional trains, consider getting a Bayern Ticket, which is good on all regional trains within Bavaria, all Munich MVV transportation, and trains to Salzburg for up to five people for only €43 a day (single travellers can purchase the Bayern Ticket 1 person for €23, every additional person up to 5 persons: €5). The Bayern Ticket is good on any weekday after 09:00 and all day on any weekend day.

If you travel on a weekend, exploring Munich and taking a regional Deutsche Bahn train to another city anywhere in Germany on the same day, consider getting a Deutsche Bahn Schönes–Wochenende Ticket. This ticket covers all DB regional train travel and all Munich S-Bahn travel for up to five people for a single weekend day. It costs €40 for the first person plus 4€ for every additional person up to five persons.

Schönes–Wochenende Tickets and Bayern Tickets are only valid on regional train services (red) but not on IntercityExpress and Inter/Eurocity trains (white). Additionally, both tickets are valid on trains run by the Bayerische Oberlandbahn (BOB) and Arriva–Länderbahn Express (ALEX).

Like Hamburg, Munich for some bizarre reason still clings to the Bahnsteigkarte of yore. A Bahnsteigkarte is a ticket for those who wish to enter the platform area (for which you'd usually need a ticket) but don't want to take a train. This might for example be necessary if you want to pick someone up from a U-Bahn. While Hamburg's Bahnsteigkarte costs an entirely reasonable thirty cents, Munich shows just how wealthy it is in charging the outrageous price of forty cents. Bahnsteigkarte are valid for an hour from being stamped.

By bike Edit

With over 200 km (120 mi) of bikeways, one of the very best ways to explore the city is on a bicycle. Guided tours are available, or for the independent-minded, rentals and maps are available at Munich Central Station 48.14135 11.55872 1 Hauptbahnhof and other areas of the city.

Bikes can also be rented by the Call a Bike system, which is run by Deutsche Bahn. You need to register before you can use the service. To rent a bike, call the number shown on it from your mobile phone. The service is convenient, as you just spot an available bike throughout the city and just leave it at your destination. However, this is not an economical alternative if you are planning many trips in a single day. In that case, it is better to get a day or multi-day rental from one of the rental services located throughout central Munich.

In addition to the fixed bicycle rental stations, 2 floating services are available: O-bike and Donkey Republic. The advantage is that you can drop your bicycle off anywhere you want as long as it's on public domain and not in someone's way, so you don't need to scout for a station all the time. A smartphone with Internet access and a camera to scan QR-codes is however required to use these services.

You can also rent a bike from 48.1368991 11.5805077 2 Mike's Bike Tours at their shop close to Marienplatz. They also offer guided bicycle tours.

Munich is generally a bike-friendly city, with many designated bike lanes (especially along river Isar, in the parks and even in the city centre). The English Garden is a very big park is also best explored by bike. Rates of accidents involving bicycles are rising in Munich, hence, the police is enforcing traffic rules for cyclists more rigorously, especially at the beginning of the bike season in spring. Fines range from €10 for riding without light during nighttime to €100 for ignoring red traffic lights. Drunk cycling can result in hefty fines and even in detention. Helmets are not required for cyclists, but are recommended.

By taxi Edit

As everywhere in Germany, Munich taxi cabs can easily be recognized by their beige color and the yellow-black taxi sign on the roof. Taxis can be found at taxi stands throughout the city, at train stations and at the airport. It is also possible to flag down a taxi (if it is not occupied) or to call one of the many taxi companies of Munich. Prices are regulated by the city government. The basic fare is €3.30 with additional €1.70 per kilometer for up to 5 kilometers, €1.50 per kilometer for 5–10 km, and €1.40 per km for every additional kilometer above 10. Waiting time per hour is €24 and there are additional charges for pets (€0.60 per animal) and luggage (€0.60 per piece).

By car Edit

It is generally a bad idea to explore Munich by car. Traffic is heavy especially during rush hour, and parking tends to be close to impossible. Moreover, many landmarks and areas of touristic interest are in the inner city, and close to the historic city centre with its pedestrian area parking space is scarce and expensive.

Driving may be an option for visiting some of the attractions in suburban Munich like the Bavaria Film Studios or for making day trips to cities and lakes outside of Munich. But note that Munich is known as Germany's "commuter capital", and you can get stuck in long-lasting traffic jams on suburban access roads during the rush hours.

Munich has three ring-roads: the autobahn A 99, Mittlerer Ring (B 2R) urban expressway and Altstadtring, which can be used to avoid getting stuck in inner-city traffic. However, during rush hours these rings are often congested, too. In July and August when people from the rest of Germany, northern Europe and the Benelux countries travel to the beaches of the Adriatic Sea and back home (half of them towing a caravan) you're almost guaranteed to get into traffic jams around Munich.

Parking Edit

Prices for parking on streets range from €1 to €2.50 per hour, usually from 08:00 to 23:00. There may be additional restrictions, e.g. for the maximum duration. Throughout the city centre there are "blue zones". Wherever you find blue lines on the ground, you can park your car for a maximum time of 2 hours (hourly rate €2.50). The meaning of other colours is as follows:

• dotted blue line—space for disabled drivers. You will need a special permit in your car which indicates that you are allowed to park in those areas.
• yellow line—reserved for taxis, do not park here.
• red line—never park here, not even for a short time since it is strictly forbidden and may likely result immediate towing.
• orange line—reserved for deliveries, do not park here.

The best options are public parking decks which are widely available in the centre. However it can take some time to find a free parking spot. Parking garages are indicated with blue rectangular signs with a capital white "P". Usually a green sign indicates that there are free spots while a red sign indicates that the car park is full. The city has a car park routing system which shows you where you can find a parking slot. Rates are:

• from €2–6 per hour (most will charge around €3 per hour)
• from €8–30 per day (most will charge €15–20 per day)
• some may even offer monthly rates, expect €100 per month minimum

Outside the historic city centre (where the colour scheme isn't used), parking along the streets is mostly only allowed for residents with a special parking permit.

Towing Edit

The police may tow your car away if it obstructs the traffic or endangers other people. Watch out for fire brigage access roads which are marked with small signs reading "Feuerwehrzufahrt". There is no stopping and standing, parking will result in immediate towing.

If your car has been towed away contact the next available police station. There is a central place where all towed cars will be brought to (Thomas-Hauser Straße 19; open 24/7; S2/S4 to station Berg am Laim, Bus 146 to Iltisstraße until stop Thomas-Hauser Straße, 5 min to walk from there). You need to show your passport/ID, drivers licence and registration document and you will have to pay a fine—expect around €150.

A constant harassment are the private towing companies that guard private parking spaces such as those of supermarkets. Their fines can easily double or triple the police's fines.

Munich offers visitors many sights and attractions. There is something for everyone, no matter if you are seeking arts and culture, shopping, fine dining, night life, sport events or Bavarian beer hall atmosphere. The listings in this section are just some highlights of things that you shouldn't miss, if you are visiting Munich. The complete listings are found on individual district pages.

Royal avenues and squares Edit

Four grand royal avenues of the 19th century with magnificent architecture run through Munich's inner city.

Briennerstraße starts at the magnificent Odeonsplatz (where you can find Feldherrnhalle, Theatinerkirche and the Residence) on the northern fringe of Altstadt and runs from east to west past Wittelsbacherplatz with the statue of Maximilian I and Karolinenplatz, with a black obelisk built in 1833 by Leo von Klenze in honor of the Bavarian Army, to Königsplatz, designed with the Doric Propylaea, the Ionic Glyptothek and the Corinthian State Museum of Classical Art. The eastern section of Briennerstraße is lined with upscale shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants. It is dominated by neo-classical buildings such as the Alfons-Palais at Wittelsbacherplatz, which today serves as global headquarters of Siemens AG.

Ludwigstraße also starts at Odeonsplatz, but runs from south to north, through the district of Maxvorstadt, connecting the inner city with Schwabing. It is lined by buildings of Italian Renaissance designed by Leo von Klenze and Italian Neo-Romanesque architecture designed by Friedrich von Gärtner, e.g. St. Ludwig's Church and the main buildings of the University of Munich (LMU). Ludwigstraße ends at Siegestor, a triumphal arch crowned with a statue of Bavaria with a quadriga of lions, north of which it is named Leopoldstraße.

Maximilianstraße starts at Max-Joseph-Platz, where the Residence and the National Theater are located, and runs from west to east crossing the river Isar before ending at Maximilianeum, the Bavarian state parliament. The avenue is framed by mostly neo-Gothic buildings influenced by the English Perpendicular style. The western section of Maximilianstraße forms with Residenzstraße Munich's most upscale shopping area and is home to flagship stores of luxury labels, upscale retailers and one of Munich's most luxurious hotels, the Vier Jahreszeiten.

Prinzregentenstraße runs parallel to Maximilianstraße beginning at Prinz-Carl-Palais. Several museums can be found along the avenue, such as Haus der Kunst, the Bavarian National Museum and Schackgalerie. The avenue crosses the Isar and circles the Friedensengel monument passing Villa Stuck. Prinzregentenstraße also forms a southern border of the English Garden, where you can watch surfers riding a permanent wave at the Eisbach creek.

Buildings and landmarks Edit

The vast majority of landmarks commonly associated with Munich can be found within the bounds of Altstadt, and include the imposing Neues Rathaus (new Town Hall) with animated figurines, as well as the old one, the Frauenkirche cathedral whose twin, "salt and pepper shaker" towers are an unmistakable symbol of Munich, the royal palace of Residenz and many more historic buildings. The Maxvorstadt adds more magnificent buildings housing many of the museums the city is famous for. For more lavish palaces and gardens, take a trip out to Nymphenburg or Schleissheim.

As Munich has been a rich and large city for centuries, and it has been almost completely rebuilt after World War II, you will find historic buildings throughout the city, also in districts like Haidhausen and Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt. That said, as the city's regulations stipulate that no building can be taller than the Frauenkirche towers, and the amount of land available for any additional construction is limited, you will not find much contemporary architecture in the city, and most of the post-war buildings are quite unremarkable residential and office blocks. One exception would be the BMW complex in the North of the city, known for its unique shape.

Museums and galleries Edit

Bavaria's kings transformed Munich into Germany's art capital during the 19th century, and it is still home to world-class collections and museums. The Kunstareal in Maxvorstadt includes 16 museums, 40 galleries and 7 art schools. An equally impressive collection of museums is to be found in the very centre of the city. The renowned Deutsches Museum of science and technology is to be found further south in Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, and there are interesting museums to be found also on the other bank of the Isar in Haidhausen. Another museum of global reputation is the impressive BMW Museum, documenting the history of Munich's famous car manufacturer, in the northern part of the city, where you will also find the Nymphenburg palace.

Most of Munich's museums are closed on Mondays, except for the Nyphemburg and Deutsches Museum — and also the Neue Pinakothek and Pinakothek der Moderne, which instead close on Tuesdays. The BMW Museum is also closed, but the adjacent BMW Welt, a state of the art BMW showroom is open for public visit on Monday. Hence, the best way to plan your itinerary is to visit the museums on days other than Monday and use Monday to explore the city. For many museums, Sunday will be the best day to visit since admission is only €1. This includes the Pinakotheken, Museum Brandhorst, the Bavarian National Museum and the Glyptothek as well as the Staatliche Antikensammlungen.

Parks Edit

Despite being one of the most densely populated cities in Germany, you can enjoy several large urban parks in Munich, especially in the warmer months. The most known is the English Garden in the North of the city. Also of note are the Olympiapark at the site of the 1972 Olympic Games further northwest and the Munich Zoo, southeast of the centre.

Oktoberfest Edit

Oktoberfest is the world's largest beer festival, lasting for 16 to 17 days and usually ending on the first Sunday in October. In 2017, the festival ran from Fri 16 Sept until Tue 3 Oct, with much rain and heightened security. In 2018 it will run from Sat 22 Sept to Sun 7 Oct.

Oktoberfest, known locally as Wies'n, is sited at Theresienwiese, a huge meadow 1.5 km west of Altstadt in the district of Ludwigsvorstadt - see that district page for details.

Other festivals Edit

• Maibaum aufstellen. On 1st May (which is a public holiday in Germany) strange things happen in some Upper Bavarian villages and even in Munich. Men in Lederhosn and girls in Dirndln carrying long poles meet on the central square. With these poles an even longer white-blue pole is erected. There is usually an oompah band playing, booths selling food and drinks and tables where you can sit down and enjoy this non-touristy spectacle. The large white-blue pole you find in almost every village and dozens in Munich (e.g. on the Viktualienmarkt) is called Maibaum (meaning may tree - known in English as a maypole) and the villages compete who has the tallest and the straightest one. It is cut down every three to five years and re-erected in the following year. Ask a local which village or district of Munich does it this year and be there not later than 10am. There's several traditions revolving around maypoles, like the dance of the unmarried men and women. The weeks before 1 May, each village has to guard its maypole, because if some other village manages to steal it, they'll have to buy it back. Usually with beer.

• Tollwood ( summer: Olympic park, winter: Theresienwiese ). This three week long festival combines ethnic food, souvenir shops, concerts & theater and it is very popular among the locals.

• Streetlife Festival ( Odeonsplatz, Ludwigstraße, Leopoldstrasse ). This two-day street festival takes takes place twice a year, showcases live music, handcraft and other arts on Munich's car-free streets, and attracts several hundred thousand of visitors.

• Corso Leopold ( Leopoldstrasse ). This festival of art and music is taking place simultaneously with the Streetlife Festival.

• Isarinselfest. The Isarinselfest (Isar island festival) takes place in September and offers music, culture and activities for kids.

• Lange Nacht der Musik. The Lange Nacht der Musik (long night of music) takes place in early summer and includes more than 100 concerts and music venues throughout the city.

Theatre, opera, and music Edit

Munich is a very culturally active city, and you will find many theatres showing a wide variety of performances. You will find most of them in the Altstadt, Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt and Maxvorstadt. While you may not find many plays in languages other than German, the many opera, ballet and musical shows can be enjoyed regardless of your language knowledge.

If you want to see a movie, keep in mind that foreign movies are normally dubbed with German voices. Adverts will generally indicate if the movie will be shown in its original version (i.e., no overdubbing) with the abbreviations OF (Original version), OmU (Original with German subtitles), and OmeU (original with English subtitles). In the movie theatre right next to subway station Stiglmaierplatz, named "Cinema", they play all movies in the original language. Other options are the "Museums Lichtspiele" or the big Multiplex cinema "Mathäser" at Stachus, which usually show 1-2 movies in their original version.

Sport Edit

• River-Surfing ( Eisbach ). Throughout the year, join the locals surfing on the river at the edge of the Englischer Garten, at the bridge near the Lehel U-bahn station.
• Swimming . Swimming within Munich's city limits is possible in the river Isar as well as in several artificial lakes such as for example the Riemer See or the Langwieder lake district. Further, Munich's communal company SWM provides ten public indoor swimming pools and eight outdoor swimming pools. At the weekend, many people from Munich seek rest at one of the numerous lakes in the Alpine foreland.

Universities in Munich

Munich is a leading centre for science and research, with a long list of Nobel laureates from Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1901 to Theodor Hänsch in 2005. It hosts two world-class research universities, several colleges and the headquarters, and research facilities for both the Max-Planck and the Fraunhofer Societies. Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU) is considered one of Germany's best universities, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is internationally known for its science and engineering.

• Goethe Institut, Sonnenstraße 25, 80331 Munich ( U-Bhf Sendlinger Tor ), ☎ +49 89 551903-0 , fax : +49 89 551903-35 , e-mail: muenchen@goethe.de . Mo-Th 08:00 - 20:00, Fri 08:00 - 17:30 .

Munich is one of the best places to go shopping in Germany. The mixture of wealthy locals & tourists lead to a huge varierty of shops and styles. Opening times in Germany are regulated by the federal state law. so most shops close by 20:00, some as early as 18:00, and most are closed all day on Sundays (exceptions before christmas and during big trade fairs). Please see the district articles for actual shop names, here is a list of the highest shop concentrations:

• Maximilianstraße / Residenzstraße / Theatinerstraße ( U-Bhf Odeonsplatz or Marienplatz ). These streets around the Opera (Nationaltheater) in the city center are the place to go if you are looking for high end luxury goods. All of the usual international suspects and some local designers and clothiers are present.
• Kaufingerstraße / Neuhauser Straße ( U/S-Bhf Karlsplatz (Stachus) or Marienplatz ). This pedestrian zone stretches from Karlsplatz (Stachus) to Marienplatz and is the primary shopping zone for mid-priced goods. Numerous department stores, chains and a few remaining independent boutiques line the corridor. The side streets are less crowded and offer some less homogenized shopping. Plenty of restaurants, open air cafes and beer halls/gardens offer a rest. During the summer, on Saturdays around Christmas and during Oktoberfest, this area will be jam packed with locals and tourists alike and can be unpleasantly crowded.
• Hohenzollernstraße ( U-Bahn U2: Hohenzollernstraße in the direction to Münchner Freiheit ). This street in northern Munich has a collection of clothes shops, such as Mazel, Vero Moda, and - especially during the summer in the months approaching the Oktoberfest - numerous shops selling comparatively cheap traditional German clothing (Lederhosn and Dirndl). You can walk down there in about 15 min. At the eastern end of Hohenzollernstraße you reach Leopoldstraße, which is also predominantly a shopping area.
• Leopoldstraße ( U-Bahn U3, U6: Münchner Freiheit, Giselastraße, or Universität ). This busy boulevard in the north of Munich has chain stores such as The Body Shop, fast food joints, inexpensive restaurants, cinemas, sidewalk cafes and coffee shops, such as Starbucks. In the side streets you can find a wide selection of boutiques and lesser known local designers. On warm summer evenings along the sidewalks dozens of local artists will be showing and selling their works.
• Gärtnerplatzviertel ( U-Bahn U2: Fraunhoferstraße ). The area around beautiful Gärtnerplatz is for vintage lovers. You can find local designers and other quirky shops.
• Schellingstraße ( U-Bahn U3, U6: Universität ). The neighborhood west of the main university campus offers nice studenty clothes shops, small book stores, hip cafés and eats (e.g. the Pommes Boutique in Amalienstraße with their fantastic Belgian fries)

Markets Edit

For fresh food markets, visit the Viktualienmarkt in the Altstadt or the Elisabethmarkt in Schwabing.

Christmas Markets Edit

There are many of these Christkindlmärkte, or Christmas fairs [2], including the large Tollwood, but also smaller markets, where you can buy Christmas biscuits (Lebkuchen), souvenirs and the typical Glühwein (hot mulled wine).

• Marienplatz ( U-/S-Bhf. Marienplatz ). Big & commercial market, it stretches across the shopping street, so you can mix Christmas market shopping (and eating) with "normal" shopping. If you walk south towards Sendlinger Tor, you'll reach more traditional woodcarvers' stands.

• Chinesischer Turm, Englischer Garten 3, 80538 München ( U/Bus station Münchner Freiheit or the Bus 54, which has a stop Chinesischer Turm ), ☎ +49 89-38 38 73 20 . from late November until January: Mo-Fri 12:00 - 20:30, Sat-Sun 11:20:30 . nice Christmas market in a pretty park surrounding. Highly recommended if there's snow!

• 48.133519 11.565860 1Christkindltram. A Christmas tram that runs only during Advent through the city center every half an hour (departure is from Sendlinger Tor). The tram is nicely decorated, where people can enjoy Christmas songs and mulled wine (Glühwein). One-way ticket costs €1.50.

Seasonal and Flea Markets Edit

Throughout the city regular markets are well worth the visit when they are taking place and a Saturday morning must when the sun is shining! 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. Is a week-long market and festivity, that take place three 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. This is supposedly the largest annual flea market in Europe, taking place on the first Saturday of Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival - occurs in the middle of April) on the same site as the Oktoberfest in Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt. There are generally several thousand citizens offering up their second-hand goods while dealers of new wares are forbidden. A yearly highlight for flea market 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. The event dates are coordinated by the city. Inquire at local information centers for specific dates.

Visitors can count themselves lucky 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 ('white beer', which outside Bavaria usually goes by the more descriptive name Weizenbier, 'wheat beer') 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 brown, grainy and sweet mustard. If you are able to just enjoy one meal in Munich you should try Schweinsbraten (roasted pork) or Schweinshaxe (roasted pig's knuckle).

Beer gardens typically serve Bavarian food. Having dinner in a beer garden is a great opportunity to get a beer garden and a culinary experience at once. 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. This tends to be very cheap (around € 2), quite delicious, and filling.

Don't miss enjoying some of the truly marvellous Bavarian/Austrian style cakes and tortes by the slice in any of the countless bakeries and cafés. 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 ("Brezn").

Due to the large influx of international business travellers & tourists, all international cuisines (from Sushi to Pizza) are available. There is a strong presence of Italian restaurants because so many Italians visit Munich.

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 and Vegan restaurants in Munich.

Like in many other German cities, an interesting option for a quick bite is a visit to one of the local bakeries, who serve both breads and pastries as well as sandwiches, salads and sometimes even have broader offerings including soups or non-pastry desserts. One Munich-only chain of bakeries is Rischart.

Munich also has numerous fresh markets, which can be a tasty, expedient and inexpensive alternatives to restaurants (see the Buy section for market listings). There are also numerous small stands throughout the pedestrian area selling fresh fruit, snacks, ice cream in spring and summer and chestnuts during fall and winter.

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 Edit

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.

Clubs and discos Edit

Munich is a famous nightclubbing spot since the seventies, when musicians such as Mick Jagger, Giorgio Moroder, Donna Summer or Freddie Mercury painted the town red. In the mid nineties, it also became a center for the rave and techno culture next to Berlin and Frankfurt. 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, and a driver's licence may be okay, 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. Popular nightlife districts are the city center (Altstadt-Lehel with the so-called Party Banana), Maxvorstadt, Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, Haidhausen, Berg am Laim ("Optimolwerke" and remains of the former "Kultfabrik" club and party area) and Schwabing. The locations of clubs change quickly, so best to check on the internet for upcoming events (for example, in-muenchen.de is one of the nightlife guides).

• Techno clubs . The most popular techno clubs in Munich are currently the MMA Club, (also called Mixed Munich Arts, described by the Guardian as "towering techno temple which rivals any in Berlin"), the Blitz Music Club, the longstanding techno clubs Harry Klein and Rote Sonne, as well as Grinsekatze, Bahnwärter Thiel, Bob Beaman, Pimpernel, Charlie and the after hour club Palais. Munich is also a hotspot in Germany for outdoor raves and electronic music festivals, see details in the section Electronic Music Festivals.
• Clubs with a mixed musical program . Popular clubs with a mixed musical program (Electro, House, Indie, Rock, Hip-Hop) include Call Me Drella, Cord, Wannda Circus, awi, Backstage (which is known for alternative and rock music), 8 below, Freiheizhalle, Theaterfabrik at Optimolwerke, Tonhalle in the Werksviertel, Pathos and the Muffatwerk.
• Upscale nightclubs . Known upscale nightclubs in Munich are the house club Pacha Munich and the P1, the alleged meeting place of the high society.

For more clubs, have a look at the district pages.

Munich has thousands of bars, pubs and restaurants within city limits. Plenty of bars and cafes can be found in the districts Maxvorstadt, Schwabing and Haidhausen as well as in Ludwigvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, where also most of Munich's gay bars and clubs are located. Some notable bars are Charles Schumann's Cocktail Bar, Havana Club, Sehnsucht, Bora Beach, Bar Centrale, Ksar BarClub, Hausfreund, Holy Home, Eat the Rich, Negroni and Die Goldene Bar.

For more bars, have a look at the district pages.

Munich abounds with accommodation for every type of traveler. The area directly around the Hauptbahnhof (central station) has numerous youth hostels, and upscale hotels like Le Meridien and Sofitel. Schillerstraße 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 prices 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 and especially during the 2 weeks of the Oktoberfest.

If you look for something special, then the luxurious hotels in the city centre are a treat.

Public transport is very fast and good, so also consider staying in surrounding areas instead of in the city centre. There are four camping sites in the city of Munich with many more out of the city. Please see district articles.

Munich is a very safe city for its residents and travelers, and violent crime is extremely rare. Take the usual precautions (such as not leaving your camera unattended) and you will most likely not encounter any crime at all.

Munich is an open-minded, international city with a large number of immigrants and expatriates living in the city (more than 40% of residents have a migration background), so you are very unlikely to encounter any problems because you are a foreigner. Gay and lesbian travelers should not experience any issues: Munich has a large gay and lesbian community and the Rosa Liste, a gay rights party, was part of the city government from 1996 to 2014.

The main safety hazard in Munich is the local beer drinking culture in combination with the high accessibility of alcohol. Think twice before trying to keep up with the locals or looking for your maximum level of alcohol intoxication - being drunk will sharply raise your chances of injuring yourself. Another issue for people not used to driving or walking on ice or snow, are wintry road and sidewalk conditions.

The emergency telephone number in Munich is 112 (like everywhere in the EU), which will connect you to emergency medical services, police, or fire brigade. The emergency telephone number 110 (Germany only) will connect you directly to the police. All major hospitals have emergency rooms (Notaufnahme) that offer 24/7 medical assistance not only to patients brought in by ambulance but to walk-in customers as well. Waiting time might be lengthy if you are not considered an emergency case.

Drinking alcohol on public transport has been banned, although this new rule has been hardly enforced so far. Littering and other forms of environmental pollution are highly frowned upon.
