Nighttime is the right
time Say 'night life in Germany', and most people think of cosmopolitan Berlin. That's quite correct, as far as it goes. Berlin is an exciting city. But so is Munich. Like Berlin, Munich has a world-famous orchestra and renowned theaters. Munich has, in fact, more of them than Berlin does. |
|
|
|
| Munich has 200 theaters. In addition
to staging plays, the theaters are also the venues for cabarets, musicals
and similar events. Befitting its role of being Europe's center of
movie and TV production, Munich also has more than 50 cinemas. Many
of these theaters and cinemas have pubs located on their premises.
And pubs, as you might expect in a city which has made beer-fueled
carousing a prime vocation, are not in short supply in Munich. They are found all throughout this city of 2.1 million. Its size notwithstanding, Munich is very compact. That enables pub and party-goers to leave their cars at home - and to take public transportation. Munich's mass transit system is regularly ranked among the most reliable, attractive and safest in the world. Thanks to it, travel times of thirty minutes or less are the rule in the city. |

| Subway line 2 is the main link between
MS Riem and the main venues of Munich's night-life. One of them is
located but a few minutes away from MS Riem: Kunstpark Ost. This 'Art Park East' attracts more than 250,000 party and culture-goers every month. They visit the five concert halls, seven discos, 10 music clubs, 13 bars and three restaurants found on the Park's 80,000 square meters, which also include a challenging, indoors climbing hall. The concerts and parties staged in the Park go on all through the night. This round-the-clock action is typical of Munich's burgeoning loft scene, which is also found in the city's northern and western reaches. |

Munich's Ostbahnhof (eastern train station) is one of the main points of transfer in the city's public transportation grid. There is no need to look for the signs leading you to the Park. Just follow the streams of people heading eastwards through the passageway running under the station. The flow will take you first right and then left. The Park's address is Grafinger Straße 6. Information about what's on there is to be had at www.kunstpark.de. |
