Residenz München is a must see, outstanding history work of art. I was in awed by the sheer…read moreopulence, vastness, and diverse architecture of Germany's largest city palace. I recommend when touring here that you opt for the in-depth audio tour as it is very informative in great detail. This palace is never ending as it seems. You can spend literally hours here. Every room has its own description and life. Simply amazing to be standing in a part of history which was originated in the late 1300s.

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.

The Auer Dult is a traditional annual market in Munich, taking place three times per year on the…read moreMariahilfplatz in the Munich district of Au. It usually lasts for 9 days and is held in May, July and October. This is one of the oldest markets in Munich and, dates back to the 14th century. The Auer Dult is considered to be the largest crockery market in Europe. Pots, porcelain and other ceramic wares are available at numerous Standl (stands). In addition, other household accessories, natural healing remedies, jewellery and clothes are available. Many stands also offer antiques. As with most markets and festivals, there are numerous food stands dotted throughout the place and, there is a small fairground with numerous rides for kids and adult kids ;-)) There is also a mini biergarten that serves beer and food, however, getting a seat on a busy day could be a challenge. Sundays are not great as it gets really crowded and that was certainly the case today, aided by great autumn weather. I did enjoy it and glad we went there. A friend of mine who lives in the area told me about it and I was glad he did :-)) Will come back here again in the future. Tip: try the waffle on a stick dipped in dark or white chocolate, it's divine ;-))

Thank you to the Yelpers who helped me learn about this awesome market! We are from Chicago and…read morein Munich for just 2 days. We learned about this market, which happens 3x a year, on Yelp. What a happy find! The BF and I spent about 3 hours here today going through the stalls. We bought small gifts for friends and family from several fine artisans. I especially loved watching the cooking and kitchen tool demonstrations from some amazing salespeople. Even though I don't speak any German, it was perfectly clear what they were saying about the various cookware and tools they demonstrated. If I lived In Munich this is absolutely where I would come to buy kitchen goods, dishes, garden ceramics, and more. Lovely antiques section too. Check the calendar and go!
