Morning
Begin your day in true bohemian style at the Café Münchner Freiheit. Afterward, stroll down Leopoldstr. and turn into Kaiserstr., with its pretty houses. Lenin lived at No. 46. At Kaiserplatz, follow Friedrichstr. to the corner of Ainmillerstr., with its Art Nouveau houses (Nos. 20–37). Continue along Friedrichstr. to Georgenstr. 8 and the Palais Pacelli, next door to the Palais Bissing. From here return to Leopoldstr. and the Academy of Fine Arts near the Siegestor. Walk to the university and cross the inner courtyard of the main building, which will bring you to the student district around Amalienstr., with its many cafés and restaurants. If you like French cuisine, try the excellent Bistro Terrine in Amalienpassage.
Afternoon
Depending on weather and inclination, you can devote these hours to nature or culture. If you love the outdoors, take a walk in the Englischer Garten (see Walk through the Englischer Garten) and treat yourself to a beer-garden visit. Art lovers turn from Amalienstr. onto Schelling-str. and walk to the corner of Barer Str., which leads to the three Pinakotheken (see Museum District – Alte Pinakothek). Having feasted on art, take a break in one of the cafés (either at the Neue Pinakothek or the Pinakothek der Moderne). At the Glyptothek on Königsplatz, the cafe is also very pretty; if you prefer strolling, explore its sculpture collection and the adjacent Antikensammlungen (see Glyptothek and Staatliche Antikensammlungen).

Morning
Begin at the Bavaria . Climb up to the statue’s head and enjoy the glorious view across Theresienwiese. Behind the Ruhmeshalle is the attractive Bavariapark. Walk through to its snorthern end and visit the impressive collection of the Verkehrszentrum (see The Branch Museums), a branch museum of the Deutsches Museum, housed in three historic fair halls. Cross Heimeranstr. and follow Ganghoferstr. until it intersects with Tulbeckstr. Here, Kao Kao is a good choice for a coffee break (Tulbeckstr. 9). Stroll and browse in the multicultural district from Tulbeckstr. to Ganghoferstr., and then on to Gollierstr., which ends at Gollierplatz. For lunch, try Rüen Thai (Kazmairstr. 58), one of the best Thai restaurants in the city.
Afternoon
Ganghoferstr. and Pfeuferstr. will take you over a S-Bahn track bridge into the eastern section of Westpark. Stroll westward, past the mysterious “floating” granite sphere, to the marshland ponds and try to spot the frogs. Walking across a bridge over a major city motor-way takes you into the western section of the park and its Thai pagoda, Japanese garden, rose garden with over 2,000 roses, and a manmade lake complete with stage at its centre for open-air music, theatre, and film in summer. For coffee or a pint of beer, stop in at the See-Café or the restaurant set in the tranquil surroundings of the rose garden.

Morning
Setting off from the Müller’sche Volksbad after coffee or breakfast at Café Stör, turn left at the baths along the Isar to the to the footbridge, which leads to Praterinsel. Walk through the teaching garden of the Alpine Museum (no entrance fee) and then across the island – making a brief stop at the cultural centre – until you reach Maximiliansbrücke, which will take you directly to the Maximilianeum. Pass the monument and turn right onto Sckellstr. Follow this street to Wiener Platz, its market stalls, and the Hofbräukeller. A narrow lane – An der Kreppe – runs from Wiener Platz to several of the historic inns found in the Glasscherben district. The Hofbräukeller offers reasonably priced food and a beer garden in summer.
Afternoon
Return to Sckellstr., cross Einsteinstr., and walk along Maria-Theresa-Str., flanked by beautiful Foundation Period and Art Nouveau houses. To the left, the shops in the arcades in Maximilianstr. invite browsing. Regardless of the route you take, all paths will eventually lead you to the Friedens-engel. Continue along for a few minutes until you reach Villa Stuck, the Art Nouveau museum par excellence. For a coffee break, try Wiener’s (Ismaninger Str. 71a), close to the No. 18 tram stop. Take the tram back to the city centre (Karlsplatz). The ride will take you past some of the most beautiful spots in Munich.

Morning
From Marienplatz walk through the pedestrian zone to Mazaristr., which will lead you to the Frauenkirche . Continue north along Maffeistr. to the Fünf Höfe complex and stroll along Theatinerstr. to Odeonsplatz with Theatinerkirche and Feldherrnhalle. Enjoy an excellent cup of coffee with a view of the Hofgarten at Café Tambosi. You will need half a day to tour the Residenz, but you can explore the palace’s many inner courtyards on your own. Cross the Residenzstr. to Max-Joseph-Platz and the opera and exclusive shops along Maximilianstr. Return to Marienplatz via Dienerstr., Alter Hof, and Platzl, just in time for the clock’s chiming (at 11am or noon). Walk along Tal to the Weißes Bräuhaus at No. 10 for a traditional Bavarian lunch.
Afternoon
After lunch, climb to the top of St Peter’s (see Peterskirche) and take in the glorious view of the Old Town. Then walk through the Rindermarkt with its medieval Löwenturm and right into Sendlinger Str. Although Asamhaus (No. 34) is closed to the public, the interior of the late Baroque Asamkirche (No. 62) will take your breath away. Keep left to reach St-JakobsPlatz, the Stadtmuseum, and the future synagogue. Drop into the Stadtcafé for an afternoon break. From Viktualienmarkt, just around the corner, go east to Isartor and the Valentin-Musäum (see Isartor & Valentin-Musäum) or south to the Gärtnerplatz district with its many pubs and bars.
