When you are going out to eat you'll have a wide range of restaurants to choose from. There are also plenty of inexpensive options, especially during lunch so you won’t have to spend a large amount if you just wish to alleviate your hunger. There are also plenty of little Turkish and Asian stalls that are ideal for a quick nibble on the go, although some may even have a place to sit while you enjoy your snack.

Most restaurants will post their menus on signs outside their doors so feel free to look around and choose whatever tickles your fancy. Some restaurants are open at lunch and perhaps close for a few hours during the afternoon but 6pm is the usual opening time for evening restaurants and they can stay open as late as midnight or even later! But to really appreciate Bavarian cuisine you must go to the traditional pubs and try the Weißwurst, which is a poached white sausage made from veal. There's also the fish that are caught in the nearby mountain lakes, the Renke, which are a real treat and worth trying at least once.

Obviously Munich is very famous for its beers and you can easily go through your entire holiday without having the same beer twice. The Weißbier is the real taste of Bavaria and is a must for all visitors. Helles and Pils are other popular drinks as is Starkbier which is a very strong beer which comes into popularity at the end of March during the Lenten Starkbierzeit.

The main shopping districts are pedestrianised so you can walk all day around the shops in Sendlinger Strasse, Maxilianstrasse, Theatinerstrasse and in the Schwabing on Leopoldstrasse. Remember that taxes are included in the price and to keep an eye out for signs such as Rabatt or Sonderverkauf which both indicate a reduced price such as sale or discount.
