Munich travel guide: luxury hotel concierges' recommendations Is there a particular exhibition I should see while I'm here? Enzo: Munich's Stadtmuseum includes a permanent exhibition of things that are typical to Munich. Don't miss it. Where can I take the best picture of Munich? Wolfgang: From the tower of St. Peter's Church, which is known as Alter Peter or" Old Peter." The church is one of Munich's oldest and is located right in the centre of the city. There's no lift though so you'll have to walk up the tower. Enzo: I'd say from the roof terrace of our hotel's Blue Spa or from St. Peter's Church. Otherwise you could go to the rooftop of the Technical University of Munich, where there is also a very nice little café I'd like to try something new here - what should I do? Wolfgang: You could go surfing at the Eisbach, a small artificial river that runs through the English Garden park. After you should have coffee in Cafe Luitpold - one of the oldest coffee houses in town. Enzo: The Zeltdach-Tour is a two-hour tour that sees small groups walk along the top of the Olympic stadium. I'd like to buy an unusual souvenir - what do you recommend? Wolfgang: A "Weisswurst-Schöpfer," which is a ladle used specifically to pick the Bavarian Weisswurst - a white sausage which is made from minced veal - out of the hot water it is heated in. Enzo: A Bavarian outfit such as dirndl for women or lederhosen for men. Tell me a phrase or piece of slang I can use to fit in around here. Wolfgang: "Servus," which is Bavarian for "hello." Enzo: "Grüß Gott!" which is another way of saying "hello." What's the best restaurant in the city right now? Wolfgang: Tantris, which has two Michelin stars and which offers excellent service. It has been outstanding for years. Enzo: Our hotel restaurant Atelier and Tantris. And where's best for drinks? I don't want somewhere touristy. Wolfgang: Schumann's. Its proprietor Charles Schumann is Germany's most famous bartender - he's 72 years old and still models as well as working as a bartender. He's a cool guy and he serves the best drinks ever. Enzo: Try Schumanns Bar or go to one of the traditional bars in the Old Town, such as Alter Simpl or Atzinger. There you can get to know some longstanding locals - nobody can tell better stories about the city. Which is Munich's best beer garden? Wolfgang: The best beer garden is the Taxisgarten beer garden on Taxisstrasse or the Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower) beer garden in the English Garden, where you can hear live Bavarian music. Enzo: The Augustiner Keller on Amulfstrasse or the Hofbräukeller on Wiener Platz next to the Deutsches Museum. What advice would you give visitors wanting to experience Oktoberfest? Wolfgang: If you don't have a reservation it's not easy to get into the tents, especially during weekends when it's particularly crowded, so it's best to start early - perhaps at 11am. If you can't get into the main tents check the side roads where you might be able to access smaller tents. Monitor your drinking as well - the beer served at Oktoberfest is very strong and visitors aren't used to it. It's a good idea to eat while drinking so buy a Bavarian bretzel - a pretzel - from the waitress - it's a must-try. Finally, all tents close at the same time so if you want to avoid walking back to the hotel leave the tent by around 9pm - otherwise it's impossible to find a taxi. Enzo: Be early, be patient, don't drink and drive; eat throughout the day and don't try to drink as much as a Bavarian. Also, you definitely have to wear traditional dress or you'll get strange glances from the locals. I'd like to take a daytrip from Munich. Wolfgang: Tegernsee, which is a small lake one hour from Munich. People from here say that it was created from God's spit. Enzo: You could do a castle tour taking in Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Wieskirche or you could travel to the Alps in about an hour. If you like winter sports visit the Hintertuxer glacier with its World Cup half pipe. Thanks for your help. Should I tip in Munich? Wolfgang: Yes, always 10 to 15 per cent. Enzo: Yes, 10 to 15 per cent.
