Great Alternative for the Oktoberfest
by Edition
Who doesn't love the Oktoberfest?
But who has ever been there knows the hazzle of getting into one of the big tents, not mentioning finding a seat or even an entire table...
So last year, my friends and I decided to follow the advice of a local friend and tried an alternative: "Das Wiesnzelt am Stiglmaierplatz". Though it is not directly located at the Oktoberfest, it's just a few minutes away. The tent is located in the historic Löwenbräukeller and offers genuine Wiesn-atmosphere without the usual closing time, all other tents are bound to. There was an awesome band playing, literally around the clock (not like in the tents, where they take more breaks than actually play music). And when we were all kind of fed up with the bavarian ratatata music and up to party, we didn't even have to leave the place. In a seperate room upstairs is an After Party with hip DJ music and cool drinks. the best thing was that we could book our table online in advance, conveniently on their website at www.daswiesnzelt.de. I already made my reservation for this year, as I am definetly coming back! Munich be aware:-) Oktoberfest - every year again:-)
Oktoberfest is coming!

Come and chill out! Don't be late!

Historic Architecture
by Henkster
Personally, I prefer old, historic architecture 10 times over modern glass and steel constructions. In Munich the old way of buildings can be found in many parts like Schwabing, Haidhausen, Lehel or Bogenhausen. Schwabing is also very famous for its many beautiful Jugendstil (Art Noveau) buildings.
Deutsch zu lernen
by orlikins
Munich is probably the worst place to go in Germany, if you want to learn German. First of all, you've got the Bairish dialect & accent to contend with and secondly, there are so many Anglophones living in the city so when you're in town, people will pick up on that and will talk to you in English, even if you originally try talking auf Deutsch.
Running and Inline Skating
by claudia1975
Running and Inline skating at the English garden is a common activity during good weather. In summer you can additionally watch jugglers and diabolo-artists, people practising Tai Chi or Yoga ….etc.
The English Garden is the biggest city park of the world - bigger than New York's Central Park.
Running is furthermore good along the Isar north and south of the Museums-island (where the German museum is located). For ambitional runners there are several 10k and other runs all year round, which you can find on runners webpages. Famous is the Munich marathon as well as the New Year’s run. - running shoes and clothes
- inline skates
- all kinds of fun sports equippment
