A nice gig venue in the Kultfabrik. Went here for the first time recently to watch John Butler Trio…read moreand really liked the venue. This particular event was standing only and despite the concert being sold out it did not feel cramped. There was a great big bar at the back of the hall and getting drinks was quick and easy. The prices for the drinks were also reasonable and the choices were ok. The acoustics in the venue were quite ok however the sound system in use on the night was a bit raspy and sounded not as clean as I would have expected. Not sure it was the venue or the choice of sound equipment that evening. Happily come back here anyday for a gig or two. Getting here is easy on the train.

I don't like big music venues, but Tonhalle is probably the biggest venue that I can tolerate. The…read morestanding area is broad, so I was able to get close enough to the stage without much trouble. Even though I was close to the speakers, the sounds were not overbearingly loud, and the floors did not shake with the bass. Drinks are fairly priced for a music venue. I was there for a rock concert, and to my surprise, people were moshing and crowdsurfing. Security was quite good in catching the crowdsurfers, and no one got hurt during the moshing. Overall, it was a decent experience.

One of the highlights of my time in Munich. I love a good outdoor market and this one is one of…read morethe best. Open everyday except Sunday, you can find everything here. 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.

This was easily one of my favorite farmers markets in Europe. There was a great selection of fresh…read moreproduce, condiments, snacks, alcohol, tea, flowers, cheese, and more. 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.

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. And you get to go through the English gardens.
