The local Munich lifestyle is one of extraordinary experiences, great food and activities. First, if you want to sample the excellent authentic Bavarian cuisine for yourself, we recommend booking our exclusive Bavarian Experience Package in partnership with the Augustiner Keller Beer Garden at a special price. Besides, you should check out the beautiful ceilings and live music at the famous Hofbräuhaus, a traditional Munich institution, but usually very crowded. Insider tip number two is to take a nature walk to the famous Eisbachwelle - a spot considered to be the world's biggest and best river wave in the middle of a city. Advanced surfers can be seen here all year round! Our next local lifestyle tip is a visit to the Viktualienmarkt near Marienplatz. There you can try a regional trend for yourself: The viral pickled gherkins at booth 8. Finally, Munich offers an absolute highlight for concert fans: You can listen to world-class concerts for free at Olympiaplatz.
