This is Munich!
by Gillianina
See Marienplatz, the main square of the city with its beautiful neogothic town-hall (Neues Rathaus), his old town-hall (Altes Rathaus) and the Marienseule (the column of Mary). It is a very pleasant and cosy atmosphere, with its nice caf?s. From Marienplatz? it starts Kaufinger Stra?e, the main street for shopping: very enjoyable...I can't tell how many hours I spent doing my shopping here, entering every single clothes shop, or jewels shop, and so on....From there you can go to the Frauenkirche (church of our lady). At the end of that street, there is Karlsplatz. Always starting from Marienplatz, with the Neues Rathaus on your right, take the first street on the right: you'll reach Odeonsplatz, with the Theatiner Church and the Feldherrnhalle. The nights at the cafè in Schwabing where we used to drink great cocktails :-)

Prost!
by tyerks
When drinking, Germans say Prost (or cheers) First, you say Prost and clink mugs (I've been told you always have to make eye contact while doing this, because it's bad luck not to) and then set down your mug for a quick second and THEN you drink. This is because there was an old king who used to be too weak to do it all at once, so he had to set the heavy mug down before taking a drink.

On top of the alps in one day
by Sorikaga
If you are tired of the city traffic and want to spend a day "in the green", like the germans say, you can go by train to the nearest mountain of the alps: the Brauneck near Lenggries. Simply buy a train ticket at Hauptbahnhof or Harras. The trip to Lenggries takes about 1 and a half hour. From there you can walk to the Brauneck and climb on top in about 3 hours. On a bright day you might even see Munichs dust cloud on the horizon when standing on the summit. Occasionally you can watch paragliders take off. If your feet hurt too much simply take the Kabinenbahn back to Lenggries.
Trains to Lenggries and back leave every 2 hours.
