 View of the OEZ around x-mas time by claudia1975 The Olympia Shopping Center is located in the Northwest of Munich close to the Olympic Stadium. It is Munich’s biggest mall and good for bad weather shopping. You can find everything here from numerous clothes stores, shoe stores, general department stores, drug stores, music shops and food courts offering from German to Italien, from Chinese to Mexican fast food. The center is good if you want to shop for certain things efficiently – the atmosphere is that of a mall – with other words the shopping center cannot compare to the bustling colourful atmosphere in Munich downtown.
- clothes - shoes - toiletteries - jewelery - books - bags and suitcases - food
for some articles cheaper than Munich downtown.

 My favourite shop at the market by claudia1975 The Viktualenmarkt (market between Marienplatz and Isartor) is Munich’s most famous market. It is open every day except Sunday and closes around 5 to 6. The market features over 140 fruit and vegetable stores, stores for honey, bread, cheese and meat, stores for flowers and baskets, plant seeds, spices and candles. Highly recommendable are the fruit stands selling freshly squeezed fruit juices of all kinds – apple-carrot, selery-pineapple… you can get whatever you want. My favourite stand is the oriental market stand selling turkish bread and different spreads like hummus, eggplant-spread, fish-paste, olives, garlic-shrimp and all kinds of different appertizers. Futhermore you can buy freshly made noodles like Ravioli, Tagliatelle or potato-gnocchi there. Furthermore the Viktualienmarkt includes two beer gardens, where you can sit in the sunshine and enjoy a “Helles” (local Bavarian light beer) or a small lunch like saussages and sour kraut, “Leberkaes” or spare ribs. During nice weather and warm temperatures it is relaxing to recover from walking downtown with a healthy or not so healthy treat and watch the people – a colourful mixture of Bavarians, students and tourists.
Try everything - it is all GOOD. Taste: - freshly squezzed juices - Bavarian beer - saussages and cheeses with some bread - turkish spreads like hummus with bread - maybe try "Weisswurst with sweet mustard"

 Kaufhof from the outside by claudia1975 The food department in the department store “Kaufhof” is very well sorted (located in the basement). Next to the every day goods you can find a fresh fish and seafood section of large variety, an assorted wine section, many different kinds of German, Swiss and Belgian chocolates, an excellent cheese selection as well as meat and saussages.
- fresh fish adn seafood - Bavarian, Swiss and French Cheeses - German bread - German and italian saussages - German, Italian and French bacon - red and white wines - German, Swiss and belgian chocolates

 Flower vendor on Neuhauserstrasse by lareina Along Neuhauserstrasse and its extension, Kaufingerstrasse, in central Munich, you will find many modern stores such as Zara, H&M, Mango, C&A, New Yorker, and various other shops and department stores. This area is pedestrian-only and vendors set up shop in the street to sell fruits & vegetables, roasted chestnuts, bratwurst, flowers, souvenirs,and the like. If the shopping madness starts getting to you, grab a seat at an outdoor cafe to people watch or notice the architectural details of the surrounding buildings and two churches. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Neuhauserstrasse between Karlsplatz & MarienplatzDirections: An easy walk from the Hauptbahnhof or by U-Bahn to Marienplatz or Karlsplatz.

 View from Marienplatz towards the Karlsplatz by claudia1975 Munich downtown’s pedestrian zones are good for shopping. Visit the main street connecting the Marienplatz with the Karlspplatz (Kaufinger str.), as well as the Sendlinger Street connecting the Marienplatz and the Sendliner Tor. In this street you can find some smaller stores, while the pedestrian zone between Marienplatz and Karlsplatz features the common brand clothing- and shoe stores. Every day at 5 in the afternoon the famous “Glockenspiel” in the highest town hall tower at the old town hall at the Marienplatz plays its tune and some figures turn and dance. You will notice that it is 5 o clock when most people crowding Marienplatz stare upwards and wait for the horribly mis-tuned “Glockenspiel” to start.
most stores feature clothes and shoes. But there are also some drug stores, bookstores, jewelery-, arts and crafts- and houseware stores.
Munich is expensive. The common brands for clothing (Esprit, s'Oliver, Levis, HIS, GAP etc etc.) are everywhere the same prices. However, individual stores in Munich are usually more expensive than in the closeby cities of "Augsburg" (1 hour from Munich) or "Ulm" (2 hours from Munich). Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Kaufinger str. Sendlinger str. Weinstr. and aroundDirections: The center of downtown. Exit the subway at "Marienplatz", "Karlsplatz" or "Sendlinger Tor" For a detailed city map (type in "Muenchen" as search criteria) see the website below)Website: www.stadtplan.de

This really is a must see for all you foodies. We took lunch there on two occasions. 1st time for wonderful sausages, potato rostis and pretzels. 2nd time for the great seafood and some Reisling. Spotted a lovely old couple with a huge plate of Oysters which made me smile - shame I was leaving this day or I would have tried some for sure. I must go here again during the warmer months... this is the kinda place you could spend the whole day just eating, drinking, people watching! Fantastic.
Fruit, vegetables, cheeses, spices - you name it they have it.
A little more expensive than normal to shop here I believe, the smaller food markets around the city are more reasonably priced. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Just off MarienplatzDirections: S-Bahn lines 1-8, U3 or U6, Bus 52 to Marienplatz, then walk towards Tal and turn right behind St. Peter's church

 RatHaus at Marienplatz by poons A great place to head for to start your shopping trip. Very central and leads off to many streets with all the variety of shops you could dream of. Oh and some great historical buildings, restaurants and museums within the area too. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Central Area of Munich City

by acemj H & M has relatively cheap clothes that also happen to be relatively fashionable. It's a good place to grab something in style if you forgot to bring the right clothes for a night out on the town (or if you just haven't done laundry on your trip!). This place is a world-wide chain, so you won't necessarily be the most unique dresser in the room, but at least you will have saved enough money to be able to afford dinner!

 Opposite the townhall is the Hugendubel bookstore by claudia1975 The “Hugendubel” bookstore at the Marienplatz is Munich’s biggest book store and features books from bestsellers to art, history, science fiction, childrens books, audio books, economy, psychology, sciences, travel guides, calendars etc.. There is also a smaller but well sorted section of English books as well as some French and Spanish literature. Reading areas with chairs and couches allow the visitor to stay many hours and flip through all kinds of favourites or books of inerest.
- German books of all kind - English, French and Spanish books - Audio books - Newspapers and Magazines SPECIAL TIP: in the Hugendooble ground floor there is an information desk where you get the magazine "IN MÜNCHEN" for free. This is a city magazine containing for each day all the events that happen (parties, concerts, theatre, performance, sports etc etc.). Very good to have!
Books have a fixed price and usually cost the same all over Germany Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: MarienplatzDirections: Directly opposite the old town hall at the Marienplatz. You cannot miss it.

 Viktualienmarkt by chancay This market place is the biggest market of Munich where to buy food and drinks. You can find here flowers, tons of vegetabels and fruits of all the world and mayn more. It is worth to visit it because of the typical bavarian ambience here, although the prices are not the cheapest here.
everything of national and international fruits and vegetables, herbs, meet, fish and also flowers.
a bit higher than average Leave a Comment
