No Munich travel guide is complete without a proper section dedicated to the many
shopping options in the city. Its main shopping hub is the area that stretches from the
Marienplatz train station to Odeonsplatz, with some 1.5 miles of pedestrian streets it
is where most of the main department stores are found. For high-class shopping head
to Maximilianstrasse, Residenzstrasse and Theatinerstrasse. If you are looking for
something more intriguing and eccentric, pick a Munich map and head to Schwabing,
in the north, particularly the streets of Schellingstrasse and Hohenzollenstrasse. In
Elisabethplatz, near Scwabling, there’s a charming open air market.

If you are required to bring back some souvenirs from your visit, choose something
related to any of the two favourite Munich attractions: beer and sledges. You’ll find
plenty of related items at good prices at Ludwig Mory, in the city council at Marienplatz.

Finally, no Munich tourism is complete without a visit to Viktualienmarkt, the city’s
prominent food market. Not only it will supply you with excellent food and wine, but
also it will help you understand the nature of Munchers in a way no Munich guide could
describe.
