"Munich, the lively exciting capital of Bavaria" Munich by Trekki

Munich Travel Guide: 4,309 reviews and 9,910 photos

Munich – the famous capital of Bavaria.
The city is famous for many reasons, and certainly well worth a visit, not only for the oh-so-famous Oktoberfest. I have the advantage to have two beds here, one in the apartment of friends and one in the house of my sister, although she moved south. But this means I have good tour guides to show me their favourites and off path sights. Public transport is excellent and efficient. It is easy to get lost in the many sights Munich has to offer.

For now, only a handful of suggestions and information about Munich. I have no special reading sequence, so read as you like.

    Hello Ingrid, you have updated this page considerably since I last looked in 2010. I haven’t been to Munich recently, though for about twenty years I used to go there quite regularly on business.

      Thank you Don for your time to walk through Munich and for your nice comment and the ratings :-) I like the city, maybe my most favourite big German town. Come again now and I think you still like it.

    Hi Ingrid. Your opening photo was captivating. I like the way you describe things!. I only spent one night in Munich after some scheduling problems and really didn't get to see very much. It does look like an amazingly clean, beautiful city. I would certainly agree with you that the airport is wonderful, but i didn't find them to be very honest about free wifi:)

      Thanks Val for having walked through my small Munich page and for your sweet comment :-)) Come again to see how nice it is, and how nice the surroundings are. Sorry to hear that they are not honest about free wifi. I didn't try it, but will check once I have something to check (I'm the dinosaur when it comes to gadgets, but ... in my new life I need to go "mobile")

    I enjoyed your Munich page, Ingrid! We still need to get back there and see some more of this city (the Deutsches Museum!) and you've given me some ideas! Of course, one day maybe I will finish my own Munich page that I've started and seem to have abandoned :-) Fun reading since I can hear your voice in my head as if you are actually reading it to me ;-) ~Brenda

      Oh dear Brenda, thanks for your sweet compliment :-) Especially that you hear me reading this :-)) Yes, go back, there is so much to see and explore :-) Oh and take these photos I missed to take more of, the doorway arches! And let me know what you think about Deutsches Museum! I wish so much they would have time, people and money to make it brilliant again!

    Hi Ingrid, a nice page about Munich with some fantastic and useful tips! You described many things that I know I would enjoy, too :-))
    I really want to go back to Munich!

    Oh, I should go back to Munich one day! We saw so little of it when we passed through some years ago, and what we saw was mostly closed for a public holiday :-( Your Italian restaurant find sounds great, and the beer place with the huge parrot too :-)

      Oh yes, go back, especially to visit Richie and Doreen in their now home environment :-)) They surely take you to the parrot restaurant :-))

    Hey, what kind of dog is that? It looks a little like a Malinois, but not a "pure" one??
    Like Sarah, I am waiting until this page will be finished :-) I went to Munich only once and would love to visit again, it is very high on my wish list.

      Ah, great!!! I'll have a look soonish :-)
      Mein Onkel hat übrigens einen Malinois und für den spiele ich auch öfter am WE oder in den Ferien Hundesitter :-)) Deshalb ist mir gleich das Foto aufgefallen! :-)

    Tell me when you are finished here - I prefer to wait (im)patiently until your work is complete :-)

    Hello Ingrid, I am sooo happy that you wrote about Villa Flossländle. I visited there in 2008 and enjoyed it, but I forgot the restaurant's name. I will be back there in Spring 2012. Cheers, Don

    Ingrid, great that you were able to link up with Richie and D on your visit to Munich! The Villa Flossländle restaurant sounds interesting and excellent info on the city transport system too. I'm glad to hear that Richie found a good beer guide!

    Funny illumination for the beer garden :) Oh, bookshops, I can spend hours :) It seems you guys had a lot of fun that weekend, exploring cefés and restaurants... Villa Flossländle looks quite nice. Let's wait what Richie tell us about the food and beer :)
