München
Shopping
Theatinerstrasse, Maximilianstrasse and Residenzstrasse together form
the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ for the most well-heeled of tourists. Here,
as well as in adjoining Brienner Strasse and Salvatorplatz, you find the
exclusive boutiques of the purveyors of international designer ware.
Elegant cafés and bistros tempt visitors inside for a leasurely break.
While strolling around the quarter you can, with a little bit of luck,
get hold of a ticket for an evening performance in one of the local
theatres.
Less expensive clothing-stores and smaller shops selling gifts and
accessories can be found in Sendlingerstrasse (running from Marienplatz
to Sendlinger Tor) as well as in the neighbouring arcades.
In the pedestrian mall between Stachus and Marienplatz, department
stores and chain outlets, boutiques and fast-food restaurants serve the
average customer.
A shopping-paradise par excellence begins just behind the
University. Lovers of literature in particular will feel at home in the
antiquarian shops round Schellingstrasse. Cafés and pubs, boutiques and
second-hand shops scintillate with young life.
