There’s no place like Munich. Take that literally, by the way. The best things to do in this city are a dizzying mix of elite museums, hearty food and tumultuous history. Munich is also of course one of Europe’s great beer cities, with the taverns and bars well worth tapping into – even if it’s out of Oktoberfest season. But there’s more to this place than a foaming stein of amber magic. Munich is a cultural powerhouse, both inside and out, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled while wandering the streets. You’ll spy plenty of grand buildings and elegant facades, the result of a carefully-executed reconstruction plan following the devastation of World War II, as well as hidden street art, impressive contemporary architecture and new spaces unlike anything you might expect from this Bavarian hub.  RECOMMENDED:📍 Our guide to where to stay in Munich🍻 The best places to drink beer in Munich🍴 The best restaurants in Munich 🏠 The best Airbnbs in Munich This guide was recently updated by Kate Mann, a writer based in Munich. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.

Schneider Brauhaus

There are not many places in the world where beer for breakfast is practically mandatory. To enjoy the full experience of weisswurst, a pale and tender Bavarian sausage in which minced veal, pork, and seasonings are crammed into pork casings, head to Schneider Brauhaus, and pair your meat with a pillowy-soft, house-made Brezn (pretzel) and Weissbier (wheat beer). The highly perishable snack, best coated with a layer of Weisswurstsenf (a sweet mustard) is made fresh—and in the time before refrigerators was only eaten in the morning. That means you won’t find this delicacy on menus after noon. Sausage and beer too much for you at this early hour? There’s always the house-made liver dumplings with sauerkraut, fried onions and boiled potatoes. Check online to see which days live music might accompany your meal.
