I am planning on visiting Munich to see a show in April. I am coming from the United States and have never been to Munich before so I know nothing but I am excited to visit. The concert will be at the Olympiapark München. The show is on Saturday night but I Am planning on coming earlier in the week to enjoy the area. Is there a certain area that I should be looking to stay? I don't need a fancy hotel, but something safe and budget friendly. What are your ideas of fun activities. It would also be fun to do a run with a running club if that is a option.

Relatively new to Munich, and I’m looking for somewhere chill to go to be alone with my thoughts and observe things. Is there anywhere that has a particularly good view of the city at night? (Daytime hours are obviously short now and I usually work during the day).

Hallo liebe Leute Bin mit Freunden aus Wien in München und da es sowas in Wien leider nicht mehr gibt wir aber früher immer wieder gerne waren sind wir auf der Suche nach einer guten Shishabar. Hat jemand vielleicht paar gute Tipps? Danke im Voraus

Hi everyone! I’m visiting Munich for a few days and I’m looking for typical dishes I could try at Christmas markets. I eat gluten free so that makes things a bit difficult since the recommendations I found online mostly mention bratwurst and käsespätzle, which are a no-go for me😄

Do you have any gluten free spots or specialties with a Christmas vibe to recommend? Thanks a lot!

Mein neuer IKEA-Gasherd muss angeschlossen werden. Ich hab zwar schon einen passenden Gasschlauch, aber zwecks Abdichtung find ich keinen Techniker. Hab schon ein paar abtelefoniert. Den meisten scheint es der Aufwand nicht wert zu sein. Kann mir jemand eine Firma im Raum München empfehlen?

Hi everyone, i'm (m24 from Australia) at a bit of a low point at the moment. I came to munich today to organise some things at the austrian embassy and booked a hostel room in the city. Through all of the stress I accidentally booked from omorrow onwards instead of tonight, really stupid mistake i know. I've been to every hostel and they're all fully booked and every available hotel is extraordinary expensive.

Is there anyone who could possible host me for tonight? More than happy to buy you dinner and a beer, also so you can make sure i'm a normal sane person.

Edit: I found something. Thankyou all so much for your advice and support!

Thankyou so much in advance.

I'd like to hike up Zugspitze. Since I don't have much experience, I would first like to join a hiking club to prepare. Does anyone know of any student hiking groups? Or do you know if TUM has a hiking group?

If you know some good locations to try the German "Mac'n & Cheese", let's go!

I want some recommendations for Munich, Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I became a father this year August. It is the best feeling when he looks into my eyes, hold my hands even makes big poops. I feel how blessed we are that we have a healthy baby and we can provide anything he needs to him.

But being a father made me realize that not all babies/kids are this lucky. And this makes me sad every once in a while. This Christmas I want to make some kids happy at least by getting them their wish for Christmas.

Is there any platform to do that? Any help would be appreciated.

I’m currently on an extended stay in Munich. Where is the best place to enjoy Krampusnacht? I don’t mind traveling or taking a train.

I am looking forward to buy casio marlin mdv 106

I'm traveling and my hair straightener died. Where is the best place to pick up another to use for a few weeks while I'm here? It doesn't need to be anything nice or fancy as it's only for short time use.

Hallo zusammen,

Ich suche nach Vereinen oder Organisationen die beispielsweise Obdachlosen, Suchtkranken oder psychisch Beeinträchtigen Personen helfen. Online findet man dazu natürlich schon einiges, aber vielleicht haben hier ja schon manche Erfahrung aus erster Hand. Da ich unter der Woche arbeiten muss, wären Möglichkeiten nach Feierabend oder am Wochenende natürlich perfekt.

Solltet ihr dazu auch Möglichkeiten im Ausland kennen, die in die Richtung Entwicklungshilfe oder Hilfsversorgung in Kriegsgebieten gehen, könnt ihr sie auch gerne schreiben, da auch ein Auslandsjahr für mich in frage käme.

Danke schonmal! :)

What restaurant should I go to in order to satisfy my need for sauerkraut and beer. I’m not so far from Marienplatz and the Nymphenburg palace but anywhere in Munich is realistic.

Hello & Servus!

Does anybody knows a place where I can print a hardcover photo book instantly? I checked with DM/Cewe/Saal Digital but the fastest delivery time seems to be 2 days atleast.

Any help wil be appreciated :)

Hallo zusammen, Ich bin ein junger Vater und wohne in Haidhausen. Meine Tochter ist jetzt 16 Monate alt. Da alle meine Freunde noch keine Kinder haben, such ich jemanden zum Austausch. Ich hab abends eben nicht mehr die Zeit und das Interesse in Bars und Clubs rumzuhängen. Also wer Interesse hat mal Nachmittags auf einen Spielplatz zu gehen und zu quatschen, gerne melden!

Let's say you have no plans for Christmas.

Does it make sense to pack a backpack and just head out to Munich airport on Sat 21 Dec? I hear there are last minute deals you can only get by turning up at the airport?

When is the best time to go? Or best day? What are typical destinations: I would be cool with something wilder like Libya

Hello Liebe Leute.

Is there any place in Munchen or somewhere near the Munchen where you can eat Chicago Style Pizza ?

There is this homeless young man with a dog sitting in my street. Everytime I walk my dog I see him so I started buying him some food from time to time. Recently we started to go on walks together since our dogs really like eachother and he seems like a chill guy. He only speaks very few words english, so communicating is pretty hard. He always tells me about his family in romania and stuff but he can never really explain(due to language barrier), why or how he came to germany. However at exactly 5pm, he leaves his spot and meets with other homeless people, most of which also have dogs. Now I'm wondering if this is part of some organized "homeless/begging" thing and if I'm supporting something I shouldn't support by buying him food or if he is actually homeless. The things about his family and live in romania sound very genuine and honest tho.

Does anyone know where I can get electrical supplies? I don't mean a electronics store that sells laptops, I mean a store that's sells wire male and female connectors. Bauhaus and Obi don't seem to specialise in electronic parts, more building material. Is there such a store in munich? Thank you.

Why there are always such a huge waiting lines near MVG customer service point at the Central station? I use public transport all the time, but I have never had a reason to go to their service center, so I am just curious what creates these huge lines.

Hello everyone,

I have an unusual question: are there any support groups in Munich for people with Borderline Personality Disorder or in general for Cluster B Personality disorders?

I was recently diagnosed with BPD and would really like to get together with people who have it too to share our experiences and support each other.

Thank you! :)

If you had one last day in the city before having to leave unsure of when you would get back, what would be the last meal/meals you had?

Kinky Galore, a sex-positive kinky party, is happening on December 14th. Has anyone been to one of these events? How was your experience?

I went to KitKat Club in Berlin a few weeks ago, as a comparison

I plan to go, but my partner (likely) won't be able to make it. Is anyone interested in joining me? No obligation of anything physical, just as a buddy, since it's nice to have someone to chat with. You can see my KitKat outfit in another post.

The group organizes a couple of events a year. I have heard it has the same ethos as e.g. Kit Kat in Berlin, but interested in hearing others' takes. Thanks!

Last week I visited an apartment in West Munich on the S4 line. It’s in the Munich Kreis.

The apartment was approx 92m2. And warm rent was 2000 (excl parking)

I visited quite some apartments in last couple of weeks and they are also the same price but smaller apartments (75-80m2). These apartments were also on the S-bahn routes and nothing on U-bahn.

The only thing I figured it’s so cheap is maybe because from the balcony and living room window I can see a cemetery. The cemetery is really close, like 50 metres from the apartment. There were quite some buildings in that area (newly constructed).

Am I overthinking this or the price is good for the size of the apartment? It’s still on the expensive side of things but considering the apartments that I saw, it seems 2000 is normal for 80m2.

Vor 3-4 Jahren fand ich das Leihräder-Angebot richtig gut in München. Überall verfügbar, günstig und gut fahrtauglich.

Inzwischen muss ich oft 10 Minuten laufen bis ich eines finde und nur jedes Dritte ist nicht in irgendeiner Form kaputt. Gefühlt nur noch am Tickets schreiben, um Störungen zu beheben.

Investiert niemand mehr in neue Fahrrräder? Wie ist euer empfinden?

Hi, next week I'm coming to Munich by car and staying in Feldmüllersiedlung area for 3 days. My idea is to park in one of P+R parking garages and then use metro to get to city center or my apartment. Based on my research, best place to park my car for multiple days would be in Parking garage Messestadt East. The thing that confuses me is two different rates, one for P+R users and another standard rate (4€ vs 14€ per day). If I leave my car there for 3 days total and use U2 metro to travel from parking lot to my apartment, do I get to use P+R rates?
