      A Perfect Day In Munich

      9am

      Breakfast

      A traditional breakfast of sausage with sweet mustard and soft pretzel is the way to start the Munich day; head for Zum Spöckmeier (for more information, click here) where they guarantee only the freshest Weisswurst.

      10am

      The Residenz

      Kick off your day of Munich sightseeing at the Residenz, slap bang in the city centre. You’ll need at least two hours to cover the trio of attractions here – the Residenzmuseum, the Schatzkammer and the Cuvilliés-Theater.

      12:30pm

      Chic shopping

      Time to hit the smart boutiques and designer shops at Maximilianstrasse for some retail therapy. Window shop along Residenzstrasse and Theatinerstrasse, by which time you will have worked up a hearty appetite.

      1:30pm

      City centre lunch

      Take your hunger pangs to Weisses Bräuhaus (for more information, click here) for some traditional Bavarian fare, or to Prince Myshkin (for more information, click here) for some lighter, more innovative vegetarian dishes.

      2:30pm

      Modern art

      After lunch, walk to the Museum Quarter for a hefty dose of culture. You’ll only have time to view a couple of the multiple venues here, so choose carefully beforehand. Fans of contemporary art and design should head for the multi-coloured Museum Brandhorst and view Andy Warhol’s paintings. Refuel in the olde worlde museum café at the nearby Alte Pinakothek.

      4:30pm

      Beer gardens

      Time for a break, so take a short walk from the art action to the Englischer Garten for a tranquil amble and a laze with the locals on the grass, perhaps stopping off at the Chinesischer Turm (for more information, click here) for a coffee or something stronger. Afterwards, leave the park to the south to see the river surfers riding the wave of the Eisbach stream.

      6pm

      Mine’s a Stein

      The perfect place to eat and drink your fill is one of the city’s inimitable beer halls. For the full-on tourist experience you could plump for the Hofbräuhaus (for more information, click here); for something a bit more authentic try the Augustiner Bräustuben (for more information, click here) located near Hackerbrücke S-Bahn station or three stops from the Hauptbahnhof on trams 18 and 19.

      8:30pm

      All that jazz

      A great way to round off the day is an evening at one of the city’s excellent jazz joints. Unterfahrt im Einstein and Mister B’s (for more information, click here) are the foot tapping venues of choice. If jazz is not to
