Some suggestions for the winter time in Munich:
- 30 different types of chocolate... :-p [4]
- Tollwood Festival - A bit of everything: music, theather, market, food... [5]
- Christmas markets in Munich - They are everywhere! [6]
- The market in Marienplatz (from the tourist office)
- Nuremberg's Christmas market - the biggest and a beautiful city! [7]
- Bayern ticket - the cheapest way to travel within Bavaria [8]
- Ideal time to be more sporty!
