King_Golo Says: Schloss Nymphenburg used to be the summer castle of Great Elector Ferdinand Maria von Savoyen and his wife. Built in the 17th century, it was a castle of the Wittelsbach family for many years. Even today, they have the right to live there, but don't own the castle anymore....

Nordsee: Decent food if you're on the run
islaazul Says: Nordsee is a great place to grab a quick bite. The dishes are mostly fish & vegetable or potato combos. Each dish is displayed prominently in lit photos behind the counter. The vegetables tend to be wilted and sad, but the fish is decent. You eat standing at tall tables, so...

Hofbräuhaus: The Well Known Hofbräuhaus
mrogge Says: Great party/fun atmosphere in the evenings, but closes down early (by midnight). It's a must visit for most tourists. Can you tell people you visited Muenchen and NOT stop bye the Hofbräuhaus? I didn't think so. BEEEER! Need I say more?!?!?!
Cafe Kunsthalle: Modern and stylish
King_Golo Says: Cafe Kunsthalle is a very modern and beautfiul place to enjoy a coffee or tea during an exhausting stroll through Munich. Btw, even the restrooms are very stylish! One should definitely try the "Apfelstrudel" - apple pie!

Check the "bonuses" you receive with your rail pass. Some include the S-Bahn in Munich, but not the U-Bahn. The U-Bahn is more widespread and will take you most places. Check into getting a 24 hour or 3 day pass. If you're going to do a lot of running around town, it might be cheaper than individual tickets. Beware they have people roaming the Bahns & trams checking for valid tickets. A lot of people try to ride without a validated ticket, but is it worth the 30euro fine if caughtb?

Numerous shops: Pedestrian zone in center of München
Veghel Says: The pedestrian zone in the München city center is a very good place to go shopping for a couple of hours. World class shops -- in wonderful old buildings -- are almost door-to-door and there is plenty of choice of good bars with sunny terraces. It is the perfect place for...
AnnaLupilla Says: There 's much more to Munich than Oktoberfest and the city 's reputation as the beer-brewing capital.This isn't a shop, but a market place ... exactly Munich's largest market. The flair is gigantic, and strolling around there always makes you hungry. Most of the times I then...
Beware of cheating hairdressers!
WonderingTourist Says: I wanted to have a haircut when I was near LMU and went to Haar Forum for the drop-in hair cut. I asked to cut 2-3cm but the woman only cut my hair in the same length instead. Since it was only 12€ and I was in hurry, so I tried just to pay for what I've got. I gave her 52€...
King_Golo Says: Munich has become a dangerous place to go to: There are lions everywhere in the city centre!!! Fortunately, they are made of plastic and stone - and they look incredibly trashy! The lions are part of the pre-football world cup advertising campaign as the world cup's mascot...

Bavaria's capital Munich (Muenchen in German) is the third-biggest city of Germany with appr. 1.3 million inhabitants. I don't know this city well as I've only been there twice, but it's quite...
The title above refers to Munich's name in German, "Stadt mit Herz". Since I have relatives in this great city I have been there fairly often and fell in love easily. There is so much to see and the...
For some unknown reason, my view of München had never been very positive, though I had never visited the place. Early 2004, I went to München with my wife and two friends, basically because we did not...
