Booking.comDay Trips
If you do one thing outside of Munich, make it a trip to Dacchau.
The memorial is well documented in English and you should have no trouble understanding what went on by simply going there yourself. However, a guided tour offers you insights you may not get by just wandering through the exhibits, and the transportation aspects of getting to Dachau from Munich are much easier with a tour.
To get to the Dachau Memorial on your own from the main train station, descend down to the S-Bahn platforms and board any train on the S2 line with a desitnation marked as Dachau or Petershausen. From Dachau station, Bus 726 or 724 will take you to the Memorial.
Eating
If you find yourself in the tourist center near the Marienplatz, The Neues Rathaus (The New City Hall) has two "kellers", a winestaube and a beer cellar. The winestaube has music (accordion when we were there) starting at 5. The beer cellar has good food, but don't be persuaded to sit in one of the empty rooms, enter the hall from the Diener Street entrance and try to find a table in the big, noisy, main room where locals eat. Waiters do try to funnel English speaking people into dull, empty rooms.
Staying
The Hotel Monaco is the budget choice in Munich. It's near the train station. The highly-rated luxury choice is Rocco Forte The Charles Hotel, which includes a spa.
