Bonaparte Posted March 16, 2013 Now that the hotel is all payed and booked, we started to work out the detailed schedule for the event. A small taskforce (Holodoc, Grogall and myself) has done a Skype conference call to workout the Friday program, which is the day we go visit the beautiful city of Munich. Friday: 08:00: Breakfast 08:45: leaving the hotel by car to the Gunzburg train station 09:42- 11:21: Train from Gunzburg to Munich Central Station Next we do some visiting by foot: 11:35: Munich Frauenkirche (Kathedral) 11:50: Cityhall (old and new) 12:10: Altes Residenz, Theatinerkirche (go briefly inside), Hofgarten 13:00-14:00: Lunch in the Hofgarten biergarten 14:00-14:05: Passing by the Hofbrauhaus 14:05-14:30: LEGO shop Müller (Im Tal) 14:30: with tram to Toys'r'us 14:50-15:30: Toys'r'us 15:30: with tram to Nymfenburger schloss 16:00: Visit the Nymphenburger Schloss. 18:00: Dinner at Hirrschgarten 19:00-19:15: with s-bahn to the Passing LEGO brand store (this is the new one) 19:15-20:00: visit the Passing LEGO brand store 20:00-20:42: Have a drink while waiting for the train 20:42 (Passing station) - 22:15 (Gunzburg station) 22:30: Back at the hotel Should we run into time issues we might not do one of LEGO shop Müller or Toy'r'us. This is the default program, but of course anyone is free to visit the city on their own. Transportation: 1/ We'll go by cars from the hotel to the Gunzburg train station. Please indicate if you'll be coming by car to the event so we are sure we can transport everyone in one go. 2/ For the train, tram, s-bahn, bus we'll buy the Bayern ticket which costs €22 for one person but only €4 for each additional person (up to 4 additional persons allowed per ticket). That means we'll pay €22+€16=€38/5=€7.60 per person for the whole day. That's of course the ideal scenario if we will be a multiple of 5 persons, so count ~10 euro per person which is a great deal. Maps: We'll create 2 maps showing exactly how we'll go inside the city. You can download map 1 here. The 2nd map (for the 2nd part of the program) will be added soon.

Peppermint_M Posted March 16, 2013 Sounds awesome, so long as I get plenty of beer in Tourism is fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) like the plan. I've been in Munich many times, but never really had the time to see the city. The detail of visiting LEGO shop is a nice one, too. Edited March 18, 2013 by Redhead1982 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cwetqo Posted March 17, 2013 I like the plan. I know munchen fairly well and coul also help in navigating the city. By Muller shop in tal you probably mean Obleterrer? I will come with car, together with redhead1982 and we will have space for three more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted March 17, 2013 Thank you for pointing out all the great stuff I'll be missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakwave Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) By Muller shop in tal you probably mean Obleterrer? In Tal there is Müller, see at Google Maps Obletter is basically Müller since 16 years. A "true Obletter" left in MUC is at Stachus, not too far from Tal at the other side of the pedestrian zone. Look here Edited March 17, 2013 by freakwave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant Obleterrer in Karlsplatz/Stachus, which is great shop (one of the greates I'v ever been to), but nothing special regarding LEGO bricks (I am slo interested in slot cars and modellbahn so I look also look for other things). Anyway, It looks like its gonna be a great day (I hope it will not rain). Edited March 18, 2013 by Cwetqo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dfenz Posted March 19, 2013 Given our children's diets and short legs Bfenz and I will probably drop in and out of the tour once we arrive in Munich, meeting at some points and not others. We've been to Munich several times before and the Obletter store and the department store across the road from it are usually top of our hit list. No need to take the U2 line to Reim Arcadien if the other LEGO store is on the agenda then. Toysrus and the LEGO store sound especially good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cwetqo Posted March 19, 2013 I think that there is no plan to visit Riem Arcaden store this time, just new one in Passing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holodoc Posted March 20, 2013 I think that there is no plan to visit Riem Arcaden store this time, just new one in Passing. Correct! Pasing is mostly "on our way back" to Günzburg in the evening and close to the station as well. We are still negotiating something along our visit in the store... but shhhhh, don't tell anyone. No need at all to go to Riem Arcaden as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aredhel Posted March 21, 2013 That sounds really good. Really wanted to see munich for a long time and never got the chance to visit it (maybe once when I was 4 or 5 ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calanon Posted March 22, 2013 Sounds like a good plan! I am very much looking forward to the event. I just need to get those damn exams out of the way first... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Kyle Posted March 26, 2013 So I should definitely take that day off then :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dfenz Posted June 4, 2013 Am I missing something or did the second map for our Munich visit on Friday ever get posted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
