Local Customs: Take your own food to beer gardens

  • In all Munich beer gardens it is allowed to bring your own food. You will see many families coming to the beer gardens for lunch or in the evening, bringing huge baskets full of bread,cheeses, saussages, salads and spreads, pickeled cucumbers and fruits. You will have to by something to drink and then can enjoy a nice picnic under large shadowy trees. So maybe buy some food in local stores and just add a “Helles” beer or some fried chicken or grilled pork from the beer garden.

  • ...Bavarians might treat you more friendly when you say:

    - "Gruess Gott" (when enetring a store)
    - "Wiederschaun" (when you leave it)
    - "Mahlzeit" (when you meet colleagues during lunchtime)
    - "A Guadn" (when you start your meal)
    - "Prost" (when you drink a beer)
    - when you don't wear a grey tourist hat with a blue and white ribbon around it ;-)
    - when you can deal with their a little bit grumpy humour

    Local Customs: Free Museums on Sunday

  • Munich - Architecture of the Old Pinakothek

  • Pinakothek"

  • All state owned museums in Munich can be entered free on Sunday! This includes the “alte Pinakothek” and the “neue Pinakothek”, the “Pinakothek of modern art”. You can save a lot of entrance fees. If you are an art love you might take a whole Sunday for each, if you just want to get a first impression to come back later and see certain exhibitions in details then you can scroll two (or even three) in one day. I like the “alte Pinakothek” (get the audio guide! – each painting there has its own interesting story) and also the “Pinakothek of modern art”, which has a small but great section on architecture of famous buildings and construction principles. All the “Pinakotheken” have caffees and museum stores. Further “Sunday-free” museums include the "Bavarian national Museum", the "Munich City Museum", the "Glypothek" and others. Not included in the free offer are privately owned museums like the “Lehnbachhaus” .

    For the “Pinakotheken” exit the U2 or bus 53 at Königsplatz. Then follow the signs. By car you might find parking in the area around, but this might take some time. For detailed driving directions see www.stadtplan.de.

     Really enjoyed your Munich pages - especially the "must and no must" - Great idea, and the "I myself am not a local but ..." was just so on the button for what everyone wants to know in a new place. Thank you. Happy travelling
