What Else:

Of course the VCFe is the only reason needed to come to Munich and Germany, but I've been told that people exist who like to see more attractions during the visit, or they are acoplished by someone who is maybe not interested in VCFe (ok, this is a very hypothetical thought, let's just skip it :). Anyway, here are some links to other attractions in and around Munich.

• Events
• Fixed Attractions
• Dolce Vita
• Far away from Munich
• Other Events (not around the VCFe date)

The first website to visit for informations about Munich are of course the official pages of the City of Munich.

Anoter idea what to do in or around Munich ? Just send an e-mail.

Events

Frühlingsfest 20.4.-5.5.

Maybe the most attractive byprogramm of the VCFe - at least for non residents.
Every Spring the Münchner Schausteller und Marktkaufleute open a 'small' Volksfest at the Theresienwiese to help survive the time until Oktoberfest. Well, small means here it will be just half eas big as the Oktoberfest and offer just something like 100 different attractions - it's still big enough to get known among the top Volkstests in the world.

Maidult 27.4.-5.5.

The Maidult opens the Munich Dult-season every year. It's a real country fair. The Mariahilfplatz will be covered boothes and atractions. Don't expect the latest whooping thrill ride, althrough, the ferris wheel is almost two stories high :)
A walk along the Dult gives a good combination with a visit of the Deutsches Museum, just a block away.

Fixed Attractionen

Of course there are a lot of interesting places in and around Munich.

The Deutsche Museum

I guess nobody in this world needs a explanation what the Deutsche Museum is about. A new fact for most is the Flugwerft Schleißheim in Oberschleißheim. A branch of the Deutsches Museum, dedicated to aerospace. The Museum resides on one of the oldest aerodroms world wide, the first home of the former Royal Bavarian Airforce (königlich-bayerische Fliegertruppe), build 1912.

Bavaria Filmstadt

Since the begin in 1919 the Bavaria Filmstadt (Bavaria Movie City) did produce a countless number of movies. Modern silver screen classics like Das Boot, The Never Ending Story or Enemy Mine where done in this huge studio complex. Not to ignore the vast number of TV Productions (including the evenualy worldwide most sold, translated and aired show of all times: Der Kommisar). The Bavaria Filmtour is drilling a small peep hole into this. The tour isn't an artificial movie theme park but rather a guided tour thru a real studio. Of course you'll get your dose of show, stunt and action.

Dolche Vita

If there is something like Dolche Vita, you'll find it for shure in Munich, the secret capital of pleasure.

Kustpark Ost

The Kunstpark Ost is the possible largest gathering of Clubs und Bars at a single location. About THRE dozend are at the former Pfanni factory site, right behind the Ostbahnhof (and realy close to the VCFe :). All danceaholics will get their chance of a lifetime.

Far away from Munich

Unbelivable, but there is more in Germany than just Munich.
