'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: Munich has a very good subway (U-Bahn, U1-U8) system and you can reach nearly every place in inner downtown and the outskirts of downtown by subway. Get a little map of the Munich subway lines at the ticket counters or kiosk or the munich traffic office (Münchner Verkehr und Tarif Verbund MVV). A multi-day ticket is often more cost efficient than the expensive “Streifenkarten” (stripe-cards). Most lines start to run around 5 in the morning and run until aroun 1 at night. Note that some lines do not run between around 2 and 5 at night. This can be troublesome if you go to a discotheque or bar and later notice that you have to walk home or take an expensice taxi. Most information on Munich public transport, the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Busses and regional trains you canget a Munich’s central station “Hauptbahnhof”.

Getting TO/AROUND: The downtown area as well as the quarters around it can easily be explored by foot. Many travel guides (also some english ones) contain longer guided walks, where you follow the guide book and get explanations, about buildings, churches, historic events etc. Asphalt walking can be very tiring. Wear comfi shoes and treat youself with a good coffee or small snack in one of the many bakeries or bistros. You can also just create your own walk with the help of a city map. Try to include the following spots:
Sendlinger Tor, Viktualienmarkt, Isartor, Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz, Specialty foods Käfer, Frauenkirche, Karlsplatz, . If you have more time stroll through Schwabing, Haidhausen, the Glockenbachviertel or Maxvorstadt.

Definitely take a walk up the tower you can see on the picture. It is located between marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt and you cannot miss it because it is the only one with a green roof. Going up their is one Euro. You get a fantastic overview over the city and it is good for a first orientation!

Getting TO/AROUND: In the summer time you can sit in a sulky and explore Munich in a bike rikscha. If you don’t feel weird sitting in a comfi sulky while someone is pedaling heavily right in front of you, this might be an interesting fun experience, reminding you of your last holiday in Asia. The rikschas are yellow and the riders wear yellow shirts. In the summer they often hang out at the Marienplatz
