Servus! Grey skies, warm Glühwein and plenty going on. Here are five things worth leaving the flat for this week.

This week

  1. 01
    Festival · Daily · Theresienwiese

    Tollwood Winter Festival

    Craft stalls, food from around the world and live music in heated tents. Weekday evenings are much calmer.

  2. 02
    Market · Daily · Marienplatz

    Christkindlmarkt

    The classic: Lebkuchen, roasted almonds and Glühwein below the Rathaus. Keep the mug or return it for your deposit.

  3. 03
    Social · Thu 20:00 · Glockenbach

    English pub quiz

    Teams of up to six, newcomers welcome. The easiest way to meet people who also arrived last month.

  4. 04
    Culture · Sunday · Maxvorstadt

    Pinakotheken for €1

    Sunday entry to the Pinakothek museums costs a single euro. Go early, then stay for lunch in Maxvorstadt.

  5. 05
    Free · Any day · Olympiapark

    Sunset on the Olympiaberg

    The best free view of the city. On clear Föhn days you can see all the way to the Alps.

Newcomer tipAnmeldung: the 14-day rule

You have to register your address within two weeks of moving in. Book a KVR slot online as soon as you have your keys, and bring the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung from your landlord. You'll need the certificate for your bank, tax ID and phone contract.
