Travel information

According to statistics, Munich is one of the safest European cities. Still, as always beware of pickpockets and it might not be the best idea to stroll alone through the English Garden at night, especially if you are a woman. There are dozens of organized sight-seeing tours, most of them leave just opposite of the central station�s main entrance. Munich has some world-renowned museums, including the three Pinakotheken (Old, new and modern), with paintings from different �poques. Another famous one is the Deutsches Museum, featuring all kinds of technological stuff from cars to coal mining. Adjacent to the museum is the amazeum, hosting Munich�s IMAX-theater, where they show Live at the max at the moment ( www.amazeum.de).

Recommended bars/restaurants

Weather permitting, you should head for one of Munich�s beer gardens. The biggest one is Hirschgarten (close to Laim S-Bahn station), offering space for around 8,000 people. On a sunny day just go there, bring your own food (or buy it there), get yourself a Ma� (1 ltr.) beer, sit down and enjoy in the shade of the chestnut trees. There are dozens of beer gardens all over Munich and other famous ones are the one next to the Chinese tower in the English Garden (next subway: Universit�t) or the one next to L�wenbr�ukeller (Subway Stiglmaierplatz) only a 10 minute walk away from Cirkus Krone. If you want more beer you can check out some of the traditional Bavarian beer halls; there are some of them close to Marienplatz, including the most famous of them all: Hofbr�uhaus (Am Platzl). Dozens of bars can be found in Schwabing (subway: M�nchner Freiheit or Giselastra�e) or Haidhausen (Subway/S-Bahn:Ostbahnhof)
