I am off to Munich for work next week. I would welcome any suggestions as to what to see or visit. I will not have much time and be limited to public transport. Also, my German is effectively none existant. |

It is hard to chose, Munich is a very rich city link link link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyptothek Those I would certainly revisit. And link if you have time. Come prepared, learn all the routes and lines in advance. I could rarely find someone who spoke English, even among museum staff. |

For my money, this is one of the best attractions near Munich and perhaps in all of Europe -- iconic link |

Hofbrau haus is a must. If you're in the city on Sunday morning, hit Schneider Weisse. The Weisswurst is fantastic. but get there early, they stop selling it at noon. Odeonsplatz and Feldherrenhalle are interesting, from a historical perspective, as the terminus of the Beer Hall Putsch. Check out Shirker's Alley while there. |

If you like Old Masters, you must see Die Alte Pinakothek. Absolutely superb. The Wittelsbach Palace is also exceptional. I went in expecting "nice" and was really overwhelmed. Wargaming bonus: if you're at all interested in the Bavarian Army, they have more paintings than you can shake a Raupenhelm at. I did not know this prior to my visit and was very pleasantly surprised! |

I am back. Unfortunately I did not get to see anything. I did get to the Oktoberfest and I did drink beer. I stayed at Frising which is a very nice town. |
