Deutsches Museum, Germany

The mother of all technology museums. The museum is huge and there are many rooms with different themes and displays. My favorite was the hangar-sized aeronautics hall. We were unsure whether we should go to Deutsches Museum or the BMW building. In the end we decided to go to both but I think Deutsches Museum won hands down.

With Museums fit to amuse the mind for days on end, and sights such as the Glockenspeil, Munich does not disappoint. The world famous Hofbrau House is always welcoming for those looking for a thirst quencher. With the famous ale for the adults, and tasty orange soda for the kids, there is almost always live music playing to accompany the drinks. For a taste of Germany's past, visit Hofbrau, for some drinks, and some of the nearby food vendors for tasty treats.

For a bit of novelty, check out the "river surfing" on the Eisbach, as it flows into the southern end of the Englischer Garten. There's usually a crowd looking down at the action from the Prinzregentinstrasse bridge.

Come here to visit the "Denkstätte" exhibition about the student movement Weisse Rose against the Nazi dictature (the group around Sophie Scholl).

With over 800 seats Munich's Hirschgarten is the biggest beergarden in Europe. It's the perfect location for a chilled Sunday in Summer. The location is great, the whole area is covered by shady big trees. Besides tasty bavarian beer you can order some typical food, too.
But in a traditional bavarian beergarden, you are allowed to bring your own food.

One of few WW2 concentration camps which has prevailed almost intact. Unbelievable evidence of Nazi regime terror. The camp is easy to find and should be part of your trip if you travel to Munich area.

Avoid the hotels close to the airport. They are expensive and there's nothing out there to do. If you're coming from somewhere close by then stay there and come just in time for the flight.

Visit outdoor markets early in the morning and drink coffee at standing tables with people on their way to work and beginning their food shopping. And don't miss a beer hall or two!

Best ICECREAM ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the tower to climb when visiting the center of Munich. It's a lot of stairs, but what you get is one of the finest views over downtown Munich. I'd clearly recommend this over the tower of the city hall building.

A very special sight from the outside, with its yellow colour and a stunning interior in all white. Well worth a visit. Also, there's a lot of other sights around, so you'll pass by here anyway. Just don't forget to take a peek inside.

Don't limit yourself to the festival. Explore the city of Munich too. It's pretty cool.

We flew to and from Munich and rented a car to drive to Berchtesgaden. It's a quick drive, just a bit over an hour.

Munich is a great city, green, with a live city center, a great museum and very good beer I was there for business and stayed in Sheraton Arabellapark, which is in Bogenhausen area so not in the center but very convenient location - hotel rooms, service and food top of the range I was there for business and stayed in Sheraton Arabellapark, which is in Bogenhausen area so not in the center but very convenient location - hotel rooms, service and food top of the range!

Hohenzollernplatz the nerve center of the famous Munich district has 90 fully furnished and equipped apartments of various sizes - depending on demand.

Oktoberfest cant be beat

Try Schweinshaxe with sauerkraut und local beer – great tastes! Also was surprised that beer mixed with apple juice can be good!

I recommend you to see the Marianplatz
