Ah yes, kitschy Bavarian gifts!…read more Typically I am quite opposed to gift shops, but this one has a special twist. Nary a drindl or stein, nor mention of any type of beers. It's offbeat. It's colorful. It's not the standard touristy crappola...and your people at home might appreciate that. Surely everything resembles the stereotypical souveniers....but cooler. Mousepads, glockenspiels, racks of fake antlers, sausage sets (fake, obviously), magnets, funny tees (especially for kids), aprons, and the list goes on. Looking for something to truly surprise your significant family, friends, or other...without hauling a stein or shipping some beer? This is your place. Interesting books and paper, cards, stationary and postcards. Including a few guide books on interesting places to check out in the city... A tourist stop surely, but a cute one that stands apart from the rest. I'll be back before I make the voyage home!

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.

My wife and I were in Munich for a seven day trip and my friend back in the states wanted an…read moreauthentic beer stein. I looked on Yelp and this looked to be a great place. The service was great and she told us of all the options. The stein I wanted was 88 Euros, which seemed reasonable and they wrapped it all up for us. Tons of steins and cuckoo clocks were available. Great place if you want to get a German collectable.

I thought that the prices were outrageous! Almost 100 euros for a jersey!!! A co- worker asked me…read moreto bring him back a shirt but at those prices he barely got a key chain. Nothing was on sale! I ended up getting him a polo shirt as it was only 30 euros. They need more affordable options as the t-shirts looked cheaply made and not true to size.
