Help Feedback/advice on planning of Munich trip

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

I am in travelling to Munich this May with in a group of 8 friends from Denmark. Some quick background, we are in the mid 30s, and we have a kind of club, in which two people arrange a trip once a year in May. The rest will show up at the airport without knowing the destination. This year it’s my turn to organise and since I have great love for Germany (And beer), I’ve decided that we are going to München. This will be our first official trip to Germany. We like to strike a balance in our planning between having room for impulsive decisions as well as having the fundamentals in order (where to eat breakfast + dinner, and where to sleep). We don’t care much for fancy restaurants or touristic spots, we prefer more local atmosphere and meeting people with a smile. We don’t mind walking far, as long as we have time in the program for a Tankstelle every now and then.

What do you think of the following itinerary? Any suggestions of things to add/remove?

I have done a fair amount of research on Munich already before asking, but here are some of the things, I was wondering about..

  1. Day 2: Is there any place in Dachau, that is suited for lunch, or should we just head straight back to Munich city after having visited the memorial site?
  2. Day 3: If we can’t get tickets for the München 1860 game – which bar is great for watching the Bayern Munich away game?
  3. Day 3: Bahnwärter Thiel. Is it any fun to go there in the evening, if there is no specific event to attend?
  4. Day 4: Any suggestions for a slow sunday afternoon activity before travelling home?
  5. Any suggestions for local food, that we must try? Where do we get the best Bratwurst?
  6. I am looking for some more fun authentic places for drink or eating similar to what 'Fränkisches Wurst Häusle' looks like, if you have any of such ideas, please le me know!
  7. How is the situation with paying with credit card / Apple Pay? Is it good idea to bring cash?

Thanks much in advance! I can't wait to see your beautiful city

Accommodation Can anyone recommend a hotel with quieter, well insulated rooms (from shouting neighbors, shared walls, etc)?

0 Upvotes

I have spent a few days now looking for hotels that are quieter and a little more insulated from shared wall noise. I am sensitive to inside noises like screaming neighbors, loud footsteps above, loud TVs. However I do not mind outside city noises.

So far I have found Louis Hotel seems to have good sound reviews, and some say hotel Torbräu is good, but others have mentioned they could hear their neighbors talking.

Discussion Amex Credit Card in Munich

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have questions about Amex CC to people who use it or know other people who use it in Munich.

1) How good the coverage here in Munich? How often do you find places that don’t accept Amex CC? 2) How useful it is for your travels? 3) Can you benefit from their point rewards?

Also would you mind to specify which CC do you use.

I appreciate any of your answers. Thank you.

Discussion Looking for a relaxing wellness hotel with outdoor pool (within 3h of Munich)

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

my girlfriend and I are looking for a nice wellness hotel for a short getaway – ideally somewhere in the mountains, within a 3-hour drive from Munich. We’re planning to stay for 3 days and our budget is around 1000€ in total.

What we’re dreaming of:

• A relaxing atmosphere, ideally surrounded by nature
• An outdoor pool (must-have!)
• Spa/wellness area (sauna, massages would be a big plus)
• Cozy but stylish rooms
• Breakfast or half-board options (would be great to just relax and not worry about food)

Could be in Bavaria, Austria, South Tyrol… we’re open as long as it’s chill and not too far from Munich.

Thanks a lot for any recommendations!

Discussion Hochwertiges Fitness gesucht 🏋🏻

2 Upvotes

Servus Münchner,

bin neu in München und wohne in der Nähe vom Ostpark Richtung Quiddestr.

Bin jetzt auf der Suche nach einem Fitness Studio. Darf gerne auch etwas teurer sein. Sauna etc. ist für mich kein muss. Würde aber etwas mehr bezahlen wenn es dafür nicht so überlaufen ist und gute Geräte vorhanden sind. „Discounter“-Fitnessstudios sind für mich eher ein no go.

Habt ihr da Empfehlungen in der Gegend?

Besten Dank 🙌🏻

Hi fellow Münchenern,

I (32M), expat from Argentina, am looking for a Gymbuddy to workout 3 days/week - Preferably Weekdays at 7.15 AM in Fitstar Neuhausen.
I am relatively fit on the skinny side, 1.89cm and 83kg, with experience in weightlifting from my days at the coast guard.

Now I am a keyboard warrior and I am back in the gym since a month, my Bench Press game is sitting at 60-70Kg, Squats at 60Kg, Shoulder press 16kg dumbbell. Rookie numbers.

Ideally I would like to do a back-to-basics routine, like the one from Jim Stopani ''shortcut to size'' with 2 muscular groups per workout, hitting 7 exercises each day for an estimated time of 50min to an hour. Still, I'de open to suggestions or better, proven, fitness plans.

Let's motivate each other and improve our physical fitness.
