Hugendubel: Huge bookstore, great view

    Okay, I must admit that the main reason I went into this enormous bookstore facing Marienplatz was because it had some cool looking elevators! In fact, the view from the glass elevators down onto Marienplatz is great (and free, I might add, unlike what you'll pay for climbing a nearby church tower). The inside is really cool with some interesting architectural touches like this view from the escalators looking down onto a sitting area in the picture below.

    What To Buy: They have book on practically everything, including a decent selection of English-language titles.

    With a great location right on Marienplatz and just about everything your could imagine inside (clothing, housewares, groceries, etc.), this is another great place to shop. Prices are average to slightly above average and there's a great food court downstairs if you're looking for cheap eats.

    H & M: Affordable fashion

    • Name of Shop: H & M

    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!

    Viktualienmarkt: Love that market

    • Name of Shop: Viktualienmarkt

    Like I noted in my must see activities, the Viktualienmarkt has been open since 1807 when it opened as a small herb market and is now one of the best markets in the city selling everything from great sausages to fresh flowers and fruits.

     Hi Mark! I enjoyed going through your site. It's very well written. I will be going to Munich for a business meeting in July. However I would like to go a few days earlier to be able to do some sightseeing so reading your page was truly helpful. Have fun!    		barryg23 Mon May 2, 2005 19:20 UTC
     Great page Mark, I can't wait to try the beer and sausage breakfast.

     Yes, Munich really is a great bicycle town. Too bad I'll be sitting indoors all next weekend. Sounds like you had a great time in Munich. I like your tips and photos.    		gabriellefox Mon Jan 31, 2005 12:08 UTC
     I will be in Munich this weekend for the international boardshow at ISPO. Great info and pictures to give me a heads up on the place. Cheers.
