A Day in the University District
-
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).
