Experiencing Marienplatz The heart and the soul of the Altstadt, Marienplatz is a popular gathering spot and packs a lot of personality into its relatively small frame. For pinpointing Munich’s landmarks without losing your breath, catch the lift up the 85m-tall tower. |
|
 |
Visit Theatinerkirche The mustard-yellow Theatinerkirche built to commemorate the 1662 birth of Prince Max Emanuel, was dreamed up by Swiss architect Enrico Zuccalli. It’s a voluptuous design with two massive twin towers flanking a giant cupola. Inside an intensely ornate dome lords over the royal crypt, the final destination of several Wittelsbach rulers. |

 |
Immerse yourself in Asamkirche Though pocket-sized, the late baroque Asamkirche, built in 1746, is as rich and epic as a giant’s treasure chest. Its creators, brothers who lived next door, swathed every inch of wall space with paintings, cherubs, gold leaf and stucco flourishes. |

Enjoy a beer at Augustiner brewery An aroma of hops envelops you as you approach this beer hall inside the actual Augustiner brewery, popular with the brewmeisters themselves (there’s always a table for them). Giant black draft horses are stabled behind glass on your way to the bathroom. |
|
 |
Visit the Olympic Stadium Don’t have time for the Alps? Head to the Olympic Stadium for a walk on the roof. Just like on the mountains you’ll be roped to a steel cable as you clamber around under the eagle-eyed supervision of an experienced guide showering you with fascinating detail about the architecture and construction. Unusual perspectives guaranteed. |

Alternative party at Harry Klein’s Harry Klein’s amazing mix of electro sounds and visuals give this party place a punky, funky edge and attract a crowd to match. Great to crash in the small hours, where live video art mixes are projected onto the walls. |

Enjoy a traditional chow house Bratwurstherzl Cozy panelling and an ancient vaulted brick ceiling set the tone of Old Munich chow house Bratwurstherzl. Home-made organic sausages are grilled to perfection on an open beechwood fire, and best enjoyed with a cold beer straight from the wooden keg. |
|
 |
Good food for little money Lamm’s is old school, but after a night of partying, a pile of Lamm’s spare ribs is simply the perfect hangover antidote at this 24-hour spot. On weekdays, tourists invade for the €5 lunches. Awarded an ecoseal from the Bavarian government for minimizing packaging, using local and seasonal produce and recycling. |
|
 |
Enjoy a drink at Café Ruffini Been-here-forever Café Ruffini is a fun place to be no matter what time it is. On sunny days the rooftop terrace gets a steady stream of tattooed scenesters, hip families and students. Organic ingredients are used wherever possible. |
