Um, this isn't a dive bar at all…read more AT ALL. This place is a fair trade restaurant located in a cultural exchange centre, and it happens to have a full bar. Oh, and they have a beer garden during the warmer months. The food, with commendable vegetarian options, is good and moderately priced, but won't blow you away. The wine selection here is spartan, but is also moderately priced. What's special about this place is the diversity and colourfulness of character of the patrons. If ever you are invited to spend an evening here with friends, make sure to accept, as you're sure to meet some interesting humans. This doesn't really strike me as the place to go alone to meet new people, but that could just be me. Added bonus: browse the informational pamphlets in the foyer. You just might find an activity or way to get involved in Munich that really speaks to you!

We brought sandwiches, snacks and water which made for a little picnic. The garden is enormous and beautifully maintained. Wish we had gardens such as this in the USA. I think this may even be bigger than the Central Park in NYC - most certainly safer! We went on a Monday but it was still full of people. From what it seems, it's a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Locals wade into the water and there are even some spots where they surf! I believe there's even a lifeguard in one of the areas. They don't just let anyone surf though and there are some warning signs about its dangers. Hubby and I were able to find a bench in the shade where we just enjoyed the scenery for a while. It was perfect for our jet lag recovery The park is also within walking distance from many other landmarks in Munich, such as The Residence, the Odeonsplatz, Mariensplatz, The Munich Cathedral, among many others.

The Viktualienmarkt was a bustling outdoor food market with restaurants, coffee shops, wine shops,…read moresome crafts & a busy beer hall. Late afternoons it's very busy with lines of people trying to purchase & outdoor seating overflowing. Each stall beautifully presents its wares. Between stalls are magnificent fountains. I understand we can bring out gourmet picnic from the market to the beer hall, and enjoy my meal with a cold brew. However, by the end of the day after 20,000 + steps my feet hurt, I'm tired & just want to be served. The Viktualienmarkt developed from an original farmers' market in 1807 to a popular market for gourmets. There are now 140 stalls and shops offering flowers, exotic fruit, game, poultry, spices, chocolates, wines & cider, pastries, cheese, fish, juices....

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site [Bavaria, Germany]…read more The Memorial is open to visitors daily from 9 am to 5 pm and entrance to the Memorial is free. You can rent a headset for a few euros. We spent about 3 hours doing a self-guided tour exploring the grounds and looking at the various exhibitions. Guided tours are available. We were able to see remnants of the foundations of the main SS guardhouse where the arriving prisoners first entered the concentration camp, the vast open space of the roll call area located between the maintenance building and the barracks complex and all the way to the former crematorium area, the main place of remembrance in the Memorial Site. "Between 1933 and 1945, around 41,500 persons died of hunger, exhaustion, and disease, the direct result of being tortured, or were brutally murdered in the Dachau concentration camp and its subcamps." Visiting Dachau was the most poignant experience in my entire trip to Germany. I didn't leave the place with dry eyes. The grounds is huge so wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers. Review #4082

We met Stephanie our tour guide in front of the visitor center. She led us onto the cspan subway…read more10 stops to the bus. We walked in the steps of the prisoners to the visitor center. Stephanie was very knowledgeable, informative and personable. There were so many markers and information posted from the train station into the camp. Photographs, artifacts, films, maps and reenactment of the 12 years gave us insight into the lives of those held here. On 22 March 1933, a concentration camp for political prisoners was established in Dachau. It served as a model for all later concentration camps and as a "school of violence" for the men of the SS. In the 12 years of its existence, over 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here and in 140 subcamps. 41,500 were murdered. The KZ-Gedenkstätte Dachau (Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site) was built in 1965 on the initiative of and according to the plans of surviving prisoners & comprises the grounds of the former prisoners' camp and the crematorium area. The Jourhaus with the entrance and the gate inscription "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work makes you free"), the utility building, the camp prison ("bunker"), watchtowers, barbed wire electrified fencing and crematoria have been preserved. At the transition from the former roll call square to the camp road with its original 34 prisoner barracks are two reconstructed buildings, one of which is accessible as a museum barrack. The service building now houses a permanent exhibition on the historical site. The focus is on the fate of the inmates, under the leitmotif "The Path of the Prisoners". In addition, four religious memorial sites (Jewish, Catholic, Protestant and Russian Orthodox) and a central memorial on the former roll call square were created.As further memorial sites, the former SS shooting range Hebertshausen, where over 4000 Soviet prisoners of war were murdered, the concentration camp cemetery on the Leitenberg and the forest cemetery can be visited in the vicinity. Dachau is a 800 yrs nice town, however the thousands of residents ignored what was happening literally in their backyard. I discovered after liberation townspeople buried the bodies that were piled up. The movies of the liberation with dead & barely alive men was upsetting. I was also surprised to see the enormity of businesses throughout Germany, that profited from slave labor. That the residents of Dachau & Germany witnessed starving slaves being paraded to employment. They were clean restrooms in the visitor center and Museum. The visitor center had a large bookshop and Cafe.
