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

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

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

Events

Frühlingsfest 20.4.-5.5.

Maybe the most attractive byprogram 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 as 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 with booths and attractions. Don't expect the latest whooping thrill ride, although, the farris 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.

100 Years Deutsches Museum 07.05.

Founded on May, 7th 1903, the Deutsche Museum will hold celebrations to its 100 years anniversery.

Grand opening of the 'Verkehrszentrums des Deutschen Museums' (Transportation Museum) and open house at the Museum Island 11.05.

Timely to the 100th centenary, the new Transportation Muesum will open it's doors for the first time. Parallel the Deutsches Museum will hold its annual open house.

Exhibitions

Body Worlds 28.2.-15.6.

The world famous anatomical exhibition of real human bodies currently showing on London's Brick Lane will visit Munich. Not recommended for visitors with a weak stomach.
200 plastinations, including 25 whole bodies will be shoed at Hessstraße 120 (Corner of Schwere-Reiter-Straße). Subway exit Stiglmaierplatz, and Theresienstraße/Josephsplatz. Daily 9am to 10pm.

Baroque Collection Mania 07.02 – 11.05.

Packrats are by no means a modern discovery. Haus der Kunst presents a spectacular show of various collections (paintings, furniture, weapons, porcelain and glass) from the 18th century.

Fixed Attractions

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 as to 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), built in 1912.

Bavaria Filmstadt

Since the begining in 1919 the Bavaria Filmstadt (Bavaria Movie City) produced 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 mention the vast number of TV Productions (including the eventually 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 sure in Munich, the secret capital of pleasure.

Kustpark Ost

The Kunstpark Ost is the maybe largest gathering of Clubs and Bars at a single location. About THREE 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.
