Expect to spend at least 2 to 3 hours if you're willing to read and listen to the audio historical information. This is well worth the trip. A short walk from our hotel. And you get to go through the English gardens.

NOTE - they end up closing an hour early and will also pressure you to not buy a ticket if there…read moreare only two hours left in the day. That being said, if you're a speed walker/museum goer, you could see the treasury in an hour. If you enjoy art and seeing trinkets, I think this museum is a great place to spend your time. I could spend an hour or 5. It really depends on the person.

One of the better ways to spend a day in Munich, especially with kids. The Deutsches Museum sits on…read morea small island in the Isar and covers pretty much every corner of science and technology, and what makes it stand out is how much of it you can actually touch and interact with: cranks to turn, experiments to run, buttons that do things. It's not just cases full of objects behind glass. Depending on your party and how they like these type of things, plan for at least half a day; the place is enormous and easy to get lost in, which is half the fun. The kids' sections held up well for the younger ones, and the aviation and engineering exhibits kept the adults just as occupied. You can bring in food and some of the areas allow food and drinks so bring your lunch and find a place in the halls to sit if you want to. Buy your ticket online before you go. The walk-up queue when we visited was long enough to lose a meaningful chunk of your day, and there's no reason to stand in it. Depending on which ticket type you get, you may need to stop at the information desk to convert to a paper ticket before entry, which nobody tells you upfront. Some visitors seemed to go straight through; we did not. Either way, sort that out before you walk to the entry gate or you'll end up backtracking.

We spent a full five hours here yesterday and it was amazing. Most of our time went into the…read morechemistry, music, mathematics, and health sections--so much to learn, so little time. We arrived around 11 a.m., which worked out perfectly and gave us enough time to explore most of the exhibits. The cafeteria was extremely crowded with limited seating, probably because it's peak holiday season. The food was fine--typical cafeteria fare. Next time we're in Munich, I'd happily come back to see the exhibits we missed. My teenage kids even said this is the best museum they've ever visited, and they've been to many museums around the world. Definitely a memorable experience for all of us.

Avoid this museum unless you have kids in September. it…read moreonly has kid art right now. there is a small exhibit for adults upstairs but it's lackluster and small. I paid 15 Euro and wish I hadn't gone.

I had a lovely visit to the art museum today. Some of the art was a bit more "contemporary" than my…read moreunderstanding but a lot of it was not. Those pieces, I enjoyed a lot more. I spent most of my time in the Markus Lüpertz exhibit. This German artist has some interesting pieces that had me thinking Andy Warhol meets Jackson Pollock meets Vincent Van Gogh. Colors, repetitive designs, interesting patterns. Several large and open galleries made the collections easy to view and enjoy. Well worth my time here today. Do note that this is a large museum and you could easily spend a full day if you choose. [Review 12039 overall, 1822 of 2019.]

Fresh flowers, meats, cheeses, baked goods and fresh baked breads, and of course beer and wine bars. There's something here for everyone and it's always fun checking out all the different booths. I walked over every morning for fresh Cappuccino at Leo's Kaffee and would pick up a pastry at one of the bakeries. In the afternoon, I would stop by the pickle guy and buy a few of the best pickles I've ever eaten. So many choices from sweet to sour, spicy and my favorite a super sour with a spicy horseradish. The long line moves quickly and if you like pickles, you must stop here.

We were there for over 2 hours, and if you're really into history, plan to be there for longer. The building and collection is expansive. There are audio guides available in English. Every item has a descriptive plaque, but not every plaque is in English (which personally I was OK with just looking.l because every room has an audio file in English so I got the gist. Very well worth the visit!

We spent 4 hours here, and could have stayed longer, but we were hungry. We visited on a Sunday for only 1 Euro each- What a bargain! Photography is allowed, and I have attached several photographs.

Regal is the best way to describe it and when you get all dressed up you fit right in :-) Acoustics are great, the seats also well set so you can see the stage well and we loved our first experience here. Hard to believe we had not visited here before. A venue for opera, ballet, concerts and symphony they have a series of things on throughout the year. It is a historic opera house, home of the Bavarian State Opera, Bavarian State Orchestra and the Bavarian State Ballet. We went to see the performance of Ana Karenina by Tolstoy as a ballet performed by the Bavarian State Ballet and it was an amazing experience. Would come back here for more anytime. It's a beautiful theatre with such luxurious surroundings :-)

The crowd is both high-brow and deeply passionate (watch out when Edita Gruberova sings... these well-heeled Müncheners will scream like its a rock concert). While the productions follow the current European trends ("Regietheater" aka "Eurotrash"), the performers themselves span from veteran legends to the hot and up-and-coming. At the interval, don't miss the lovely buffet downstairs, and be sure to try the hedonistic "Rote Grütze" (red summer berries drenched in vanilla sauce). You certainly won't find that at the Met!

We went for "soda" - rhubarb fizzy water - yum! We also went when the 10 layer cake was rolled out - so that was cool! Definitely very sweet staff. Easy seating in the afternoon. It's off the main drag, but on one of side roads. Definitely stop in - get a pancake crumbly thingy that i can't remember the name of! Indicate you are an english speaker early on if you are - just so you don't spent alot of time just nodding!

There is a stage in the middle that is raised up high and the bar beneath. Table surround it stadium style. They don't serve beer here so wine and mixed drinks it is!! And food. Lots of food. So came on the closing day of Oktoberfest and it was a blast. The evening reservation and everything. The band was hopping and the crowd was eating it up. The food is what you would expect. The service was on point and keep the drinks flowing. It was a little warm... But that is to be expected. Just go with the flow... Fun place and less rowdy than the other tents...
