Things to do in Munich

[Seb]

As I live in Munich and there have been a few threads about 
things to do in Munich, I thought I quickly share a few selected 
activities + current events.

Activities

A few highlights:

- over 80 museums (best ones: Museum Brandhost, Pinakothek der 
Moderne, Haus der Kunst, Deutsches Museum, Glyptothek, potato 
museum, NS-Dokumentationszentrum)
- English Garden (Munich's biggest park with many activities - 
e.g. there are surfers at Eisbachwelle)
- BMW Welt (car museum + very modern architecture)
- Old churches (Asamkirche, Marienkirche)
- View over the city: Alter Peter or Vorhoelzer Cafe
