From the airport
Train: The S1 and S8 run from 3.30am to midnight to Munich's central station (Hauptbanhof)
Shop: After a great holiday read? Head to the Hugendubel English bookshop, in the heart of the Old Town, for books, English magazines and city guides.
If there is one thing Munich is more famous for than beer, it is the city's car manufacturer, BMW. Fans should not miss the very cool BMW shop for everything from sleek sledges to kids' cars.
Dance: Die Registratur. Club-goers need only remember one name in Munich, die Registratur. Attracting a wealth of big-name DJs, this is a hotspot for the city's beautiful people.
On a hot summer's day, nothing beats a dip in the Bad Maria Einsiedel outdoor pool. Part of the River Isar has been channelled off for swimming-giving you the chance to plunge into icy water, straight from the Alps.
Fancy trying your hand at skiing? Instead of trekking to the Alps, check out Munich's city slope, Skiarena Munchen, where two hours' fun costs 10 euros.
February in Munich is one long month of partying during the annual Fasching celebrations (Carnival). Check out the processions, open-air events and fancy-dress balls. Lehel is one of Munich's classiest districts. Just a short hop from the city centre, you will find swish bars, restaurants and boutiques.
Munich's eye-catching Allianz Arena football stadium is made of transparent "cushions" filled with thousands of lights. These change colour, either red, white or blue, to mirror the colours of the team playing.
Day trip
Andechs. For the perfect combination of countryside, exercise and beer, head to the Andechs Monastery, a 50-minute S-Bahn ride. After a short hike from the station, you will arrive to the welcome of a litre of freshly brewed beer.
Blombergbahn. If hurtling down a hillside is your idea of fun, do not miss the Blombergbahn, one of Germany's longest sled runs. South of Munic, at Bad Tolz, the 5.5 kilometre run provides sledges for hire.
