Munich Things to Do Tips by colin_bramso

Fantastic fresh produce Viktualienmarkt Review

We love wandering around street markets, especially those selling fresh produce. It's not only the sights, the sounds and smells but because it's where the local people do their shopping we're able to soak up some of the real off-the-tourist-path atmosphere of the place we're visiting.

This is a big market full of the most mouthwatering fresh fruit, vegetable and delicatessen produce, set in a traffic-free square surrounded by trees, so it's an oasis right in the busy heart of the city.

Address: In Munich Old Town

Directions: Just a short stroll from Marienplatz past St Peter's church.

A stunning palace Schloss Nymphenburg Review

Just to the west of the city is the stunning Nymphenburg Palace, one of the largest in Europe. It's set in 200 acres of beautifully landscaped park & gardens, with a central canal flanked by two lakes.

The palace dates from 1675, was added to over the centuries since and is stunning both inside and out. Many of the rooms are open to the public, there's a museum of old carriages & coaches and an exhibition of the famous Nymphenburg porcelain.

The palace is open to the public daily and a combination ticket for entry to the palace, park buildings and museums is Euro10.

Directions: There is a regular bus and tram service to the palace.
