The Fünf Höfe (five courtyards) are in a class of their own when it comes to fashion, literature, lifestyle and cafés. This pedestrianised shopping centre between Odeonsplatz square and Marienplatz square is the perfect combination of consumerism, art and culture.

Joie de vivre and shopping heaven
Between Kardinal Faulhaber Strasse, Theatinerstrasse and Salvatorstrasse you'll only find the finer things in life: the latest trends from prestigious designers and the most audacious trendsetters alongside stunning footwear and bags, accessories for the home from Manufactum, books and cosmetics. In the yellow building in the Dienerstrasse, just a stone's throw away, is "Alois Dallmayr", Munich's number one delicatessen.

With its famous onion domes, the 15th century Gothic Church of Our Lady is Munich's unmistakable landmark. Not far away, at Marienplatz, the carillon plays three times a day. And just a stone's throw from here is probably the most famous tavern in the world, the Hofbräuhaus beer hall. Other sightseeing highlights include the Olympic centre where the Olympic Games were held in 1972.

The Pinakothek der Moderne brings modern and contemporary painting and sculpture, jewellery, graphic art and the collection of the architectural museum together under one roof. Together with the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek, the Glyptothek museum of Greek and Roman sculptures, the antiquities collection and Lenbach House, it forms a unique arts collection. The Deutsches Museum with its branch museum, the Verkehrszentrum (transport centre), is a pioneering museum all about mobility.
