Doing research before traveling is always smart. I find that researching a destination is just as much fun as being there!

Just returned from a week in Munich and agree with everything said here. We stayed at the Hotel Torbräu (close to Marienplatz) which offered a great central location to walk around. Munich is a wonderful city! Hit up the bratwurst/sausage place in the Viktualienmarkt; get a liter bottle of water at the local Rewe (grocery store) and fill it up for free in the Marienplatz water "trough" - the water comes from the Alps. We loved the Weisses Brauhaus (Tal 7 close to Marienplatz) and the bread at Julius Brantner. Can't wait to return.

Great timing on the video. I'm going to be there in 8 weeks, and am really looking forward to the trip.

I wish this video existed a few years ago when I went to Munich.. because I definitely made some of these mistakes!

Going to Munich for my birthday trip next year, looking forward to it already!

I've been to Munich a few times, and my favorite time to visit is in May. I took a solo trip the first week of May 2023 and the city was pretty manageable as far as tourists are concerned. The only tour I did was an English language half-day guided tour of Dachau. And I highly recommend a day ticket for local transport or the regional transport card (I was able to do day trips south to the mountains!) - I have been ticket checked at least once each multi-day visit to the city.

As for public transportation: it's not enough to just buy a ticket, you actually have to "cancel" that paper ticket in most cases by inserting it into one of the little blue boxes and have it stamped -- and only then is it valid! If you have a ticket that is not stamped it's the same as not having a ticket at all.

Railway stations are good for emergency food and drink on a Sunday

Hey, Münchnerin here (not born here but been living here for 13 years already). About the cash, yeah, some small cash ist still necessary occasionally but at least some of the Christmas Markets like Tollwood are starting to get equipped to allow to pay with card. I still take some cash with me when i go there but not a big issue as it was pre-pandemic tbf.

Hey I'm literally here currently. Nice

[Seanocearbhaill]

Good timing. Going to Munich in 4 days

[toddglantz]

We will be there next year in May. Can't wait and will definitely use this video as a learning experience

[trexation]

I very much enjoyed this video for there were so many aspects being spot on. I am a born Munich. And, damn, you are observend. Loved the video!

[musicent]

That lady @11:53 walking by eyeballing the camera sent me out of here. You did say Germans like to stare and make eye contact and she stared right into my soul🤣

We’ve been to Munich a few times at Christmas/New Years and always enjoyed our visits. Planning and researching a trip is part of the fun. We’re already planning our trips for later in 2025 now. :)

[johndornoff]

Thanks for tbe video Mark. My son and I plan to be in Munich in two years to visit the BMW museum (then over to Stuggart to visit the Porsche and Mercedes museum).

[barbarawissinger]

Take the S2 out to Erding & visit the Therme and brewery. Herrenchiemsee is just as nice as Neuschwanstein and easier to reach. My German husband says Augustiner is the best beer and the restaurant in the pedestrian zone is my first choice for dinner out.

[paulgerrard]

Early prebooking for BMW Munich is critical. They offer some amazing tours (factory, museum and road trips) but you must book far in advance and its very difficult. But well worth it. Germany is like that. We joined a factory overnight roadtrip in high end cars for little cost but its something to book 6 mths early. Sold out in 2 days for the whole summer. We drove overnight onto gross glockner in Austria on the high alpine road.

It is a place I like to be one day. Thanks

So . . . Pram Mom = Soccer Mom? :-) Cannot wait to go to the Christmas markets in a few years. Thanks!
