On the same pavement stand a strapping mustachioed man dressed in traditional
Bavarian costume and a ditzy blond scantily clad in Prada, who has just
stepped out of her BMW Z4 cabriolet. Such is the charm of Munich, where
opulence and well-being, traditions and modernity joyfully cohabit. Here are
ten good reasons to enjoy this great city of art and history, where people
surf in summer and go cross-country skiing in winter. More...

Boutiques in the university area,
century-old street markets, second-hand bookshops or the glamour of
international haute couture in Munich's central shopping areas
Maximilianstraße or Theatinerstraße: the various shopping areas offer
something for everybody's taste and budget. And being a big city and
capital, Munich has more than just one shopping area!
Within Munich's City Centre you have a wide choice of shops, boutiques and department stores. Find out which shopping area suits you best.
Maximilianstraße One of the representative boulevards planned by King Ludwig I, Maximilianstraße is one of the most exclusive addresses in Munich. Sauntering between the Bavarian Parliament, Maximilianeum, and the Nationaltheater, the Bavarian State Opera, you can enjoy the flair of one of the boulevards that have rendered Munich the nickname "Italy's most northern city". Along rows of classicist buildings you will find internationally renowned luxury shops as well as a haute-couture phenomenon "Mooshammer", which can only be found in Munich.
Theatinerstraße and Fünf Höfe This street connecting the central square Marienplatz with Odeonsplatz and Ludwigstraße is a primary address for luxurious shopping. It is also the home of traditional cafés and restaurants, in addition to an arts cinema showing original international films with subtitles. The entrance to one of the largest art exhibition areas, the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung, leads into Munich's latest shopping centre, called Fünf Höfe or Five Courts. Exclusive shops, bistros and cafés are located in this fascinating ensemble of modern art and architecture.
Kaufinger Straße The boulevard between Marienplatz and Karlsplatz/Stachus, with the medieval city gate Karlstor, has been a pedestrian zone and Munich's busiest shopping area since the 1970s. Half way between Marienplatz and Stachus you can turn left into "Arkaden", a roofed alley which is home to more individual shops and cafés.
Sendlinger Straße Clearly one of the most typical shopping districts of Munich: the small street leading from Marienplatz to the medieval city gate Sendlinger Tor in the south of the old town is home to many family-run retailing shops. It is the ideal place to go if you are looking for arts and crafts, unusual gift shops or arty posters. After shopping, there are plenty of little cafés and restaurants where you can sit down, relax, and enjoy the evening.
Eating and Drinking Munich
Munich is top
among German cities for food and drink, with the city's reputation as a
beer-drinkers' paradise rapidly being matched by its passion for fine food.
Visitors can chow down on a wide range of traditional Bavarian dishes, while
the cosmopolitan nature of the city also means that there are a large number
of international restaurants for when they get bored of sausages.
The stereotypes about Bavarian cuisine are true and visitors should
expect to see menus dominated with wurst, wurst and more wurst. Weisswurst,
or white sausages, are a local speciality, which is traditionally eaten in
the morning and served with sweet mustard and pretzels. Throughout the day
Munich munches on bratwurst, a simple fried sausage served in a bun. Sausage
salad, Munchner Wurstsalat, is also extremely popular, being made up of
thinly sliced sausages, oil and vinegar, lettuce and sliced Swiss cheese.
Another local speciality is Leberkas, again featuring sausages, which are
this time grilled and formed into a loaf, served alongside potato salad.
