Not as bad as the other dude says...
26 Dec 2001
By Stephen Lum
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As someone who visited Munich and who is soon to relocate and start working there...I had to set the record straight about this book. Contrary to the one other review, this is a good book. The thing I like in general about Frommer's is that they present you with an itinerary; if you need to hit the 'must see places' then this is your book. Sure the must see places are all overrun by tourists...but some of them as we all know are a must. For example...Hofbrauhaus is where every visitor wants to go...but truth is no native Munchener hangs out there...all tourists. But ya gotta do it.
When I went to Munich, I travelled with this book and Lonely Planet Munich...Lonely Planet doesn't provide you with a 'must see places' list, but it is more detailed. Together they complemented each other perfectly. I recommend spending the extra money for the second book; in contrast with the amount you are spending on everything else during your whole trip...it's well worth it.
As for the other reviewer's bad experience...Germany's service people(hotel staff, waiters etc) are typecast as being slow and having attitudes...waiters especially. And that info is actually in this book.
Hope this helps. Have fun in Munchen.

Had all the info. I needed

I usually travel with two or three travel books and at some point in my last trip to Munich I just threw away my other book. The Frommer's book had everything I needed in regards to seeing all the major attractions, and I ended up relying on it more than the other book I brought. I thought it was accurate and had great info. on restaurants and hotels.

Buy something else

Do not buy this book. It's awful.
In most cases, the info is sparse or just wrong. Museums that are worth seeing aren't even mentioned. Other museum prices were no were near correct (thankfully less than the book indicated). Some of the biggest attractions get nothing more than a simple paragraph. One item I looked up in the index took me to a specific page. When going to that page, there's once sentence saying see page 174 instead, which was not listed in the index to begin with.
Very little practical information. Want to know when the subway starts in the morning? Get a different book with real info. Want to know best approaches and economical ways to buy train tickets? Get a different book. Aside from a couple of the maps, this book was completely useless in most cases and went into the trash as I got on my last train to the airport.
All in all, this book is garbage. Buy another one if you're going to Munich.
