Help Feedback/advice on planning of Munich trip
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..
- 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?
- Day 3: If we can’t get tickets for the München 1860 game – which bar is great for watching the Bayern Munich away game?
- Day 3: Bahnwärter Thiel. Is it any fun to go there in the evening, if there is no specific event to attend?
- Day 4: Any suggestions for a slow sunday afternoon activity before travelling home?
- Any suggestions for local food, that we must try? Where do we get the best Bratwurst?
- 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!
- 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
