That being said, if you're a speed walker/museum goer, you could see the treasury in an hour. If you enjoy art and seeing trinkets, I think this museum is a great place to spend your time. I could spend an hour or 5. It really depends on the person.

Expect to spend at least 2 to 3 hours if you're willing to read and listen to the audio historical information. This is well worth the trip. A short walk from our hotel.

We went for "soda" - rhubarb fizzy water - yum! We also went when the 10 layer cake was rolled out - so that was cool! Definitely very sweet staff. Easy seating in the afternoon. It's off the main drag, but on one of side roads. Definitely stop in - get a pancake crumbly thingy that i can't remember the name of! Indicate you are an english speaker early on if you are - just so you don't spent alot of time just nodding! Less stressful on the paying front that other tents, and they are more willing to split the bill!

The circus has become a tradition for us on our annual holiday trip to Munich. We look forward to…read morethe show at Circus Krone on Christmas Day. It is a charming and affordable one-ring circus and the show is always entertaining. The acts are outstanding and the venue is the perfect size. There are not really any bad seats in the house. Arrive early and watch the charming pre-show horseback rides for the children and also the birthday honors bestowed upon anyone (no matter their age) celebrating their birthday. This year's show is dedicated to the late Cristel Zembach Krone. Although she is no longer with us, her beloved horses certainly are!

One of the better ways to spend a day in Munich, especially with kids. The Deutsches Museum sits on…read morea small island in the Isar and covers pretty much every corner of science and technology, and what makes it stand out is how much of it you can actually touch and interact with: cranks to turn, experiments to run, buttons that do things. It's not just cases full of objects behind glass. Depending on your party and how they like these type of things, plan for at least half a day; the place is enormous and easy to get lost in, which is half the fun. The kids' sections held up well for the younger ones, and the aviation and engineering exhibits kept the adults just as occupied. You can bring in food and some of the areas allow food and drinks so bring your lunch and find a place in the halls to sit if you want to. Buy your ticket online before you go. The walk-up queue when we visited was long enough to lose a meaningful chunk of your day, and there's no reason to stand in it. Depending on which ticket type you get, you may need to stop at the information desk to convert to a paper ticket before entry, which nobody tells you upfront. Some visitors seemed to go straight through; we did not. Either way, sort that out before you walk to the entry gate or you'll end up backtracking.

We spent a full five hours here yesterday and it was amazing. Most of our time went into the…read morechemistry, music, mathematics, and health sections--so much to learn, so little time. We arrived around 11 a.m., which worked out perfectly and gave us enough time to explore most of the exhibits. The cafeteria was extremely crowded with limited seating, probably because it's peak holiday season. The food was fine--typical cafeteria fare. Next time we're in Munich, I'd happily come back to see the exhibits we missed. My teenage kids even said this is the best museum they've ever visited, and they've been to many museums around the world. Definitely a memorable experience for all of us.

Fresh flowers, meats, cheeses, baked goods and fresh baked breads, and of course beer and wine bars. There's something here for everyone and it's always fun checking out all the different booths. I walked over every morning for fresh Cappuccino at Leo's Kaffee and would pick up a pastry at one of the bakeries. In the afternoon, I would stop by the pickle guy and buy a few of the best pickles I've ever eaten. So many choices from sweet to sour, spicy and my favorite a super sour with a spicy horseradish. The long line moves quickly and if you like pickles, you must stop here.

Unfortunately, I visited during the holidays, so some stalls weren't open. One shop in particular really caught my attention--it specialized in mustard (Senf) and offered so many varieties I had never seen or even heard of before. I was excited to try everything. Prices ranged from €2 to €7 per bottle, and while I was tempted to buy several, my luggage limitations held me back. In the end, I chose two: black truffle mustard and matcha mustard. Can't wait to try them once I'm back home.
