Oktoberfest, BMW Welt, and München’s Marienplatz...

Hi Gang,

Last week I decided to go to Oktoberfest. So… I decided to drive to BMW AG first, and go tour the WELT and then take the U-bahn from there to the weißen (where the fest is held). I made a small stop in downtown München’s marienplatz before going to Oktoberfest.

Normally when I drive to München I park in Garching, where the fussball stadium is located. At the Park & Ride there, you can park all day for just one euro and then catch the U-bahn into the city. But I decided to drive further to BMW’s Welt. Parking there is only ten euros for the entire day. No biggie. Besides… there is something special about parking at BMW AG.

I looked around quickly and then headed into the city. When I returned late at night I also took some night picture of the Welt and AG buildings. Hence the night shots.

I stopped in München’s marienplatz because I like to always grab a quick bite to eat at one of the delicious butcher shops that line up near the central Viktualienmarkt there. You can get most any food here. But I like to grab a fresh leberkäse or a spicy bierwurst when I come to München. I’m not really into München’s Weißwurst! I also make a point to go take a look inside some of the various big dept stores and toy stores while I am there. I am always on the lookout for a new toy model car! Something about that inner kid in me.

Just a few blocks away from the Viktualienmarkt I found this Oktoberfest Museum. I took some pictures but it is really TINY and kind of a rip off for the five euros they charge to get inside. But their restaurant is worthwhile! At least it smelled great.

So… without further ado I bring you my little taste of München!

Well… enjoy my photos. Sorry for the 56K + + post!

Dackel.

The Welt takes on a different feeling at night!

Ok… onto the city…

BMW workers leaving their shift and crossing the street to the U-bahn.

“easy & simply” ticket machine for the U-bahn!

The subway (U-bahn) map…

Some of the nice beer ads down in the U-bahn…

Marienplatz & the Rathaus Glockenspiel (bell tower)…

The Apple cult is here too!

One of my favorite places to go for a nice sandwhich or sweets. Located right next to the U-bahn in Marienplatz near the market.

pflaume kuchen one of my favorites!

cheese cakes…

This bakery is so well known they even have their own tent at the Oktoberfest! Nothing more German than Coffee & Cake!

A quick walk down the street (away) from Marienplatz and you come to the Viktualienmarkt area. And this small row of Butcher shops. In every one of them they sell sandwiches to go!

Fast food German style! Imbis. A fresh leberkäse or a spicy bierwurst?

Some other shops… honey and bee’s wax…

Cheeses…

Viktualienmarkt Mai (May) Pole…

A packed Bier garten...

Olive market

You can rent bikes here too.

Looking back at Marienplatz. The Viktualienmarkt is to the left.

A popular store that sells Dindle trachten(dresses).

The small Oktoberfest Musuem…

The old brewery…

Not a star of David but rather the traditional brewer’s symbol. For purity of beer.

Back outside in the city…

Dept store goodies…

The street that every American walks down…

Hof Brau Haus…

HB gift shop.

I came across this cool shop that sells old fashioned toys!

Munich fashion…

Fishing and Hunting Museum…

Touch the wild boar’s nose for good luck…

Friendly Polizei…

O-Fest fever…

Street performers...

2-stroke power’d hair drier!

München’s Hauptbahnhof (main train station)…

McDonalds!

To the left of McD’s is a really cool toy store. They had these…

On my way walking over to the Fest I came across this….

Willkommen zum Oktoberfest

Chicken or Duck?

Bier schrank...

My favorite bakery...

Lady Bavaria…

Paulaner Tent…

Some girls…

And back to BMW...

The End.
