4. The best fish in town<\/h3>\n

This is a true hidden gem of the Victuals Market (Viktualienmarkt) in Munich<\/a>. Within the market, there are plenty of local delicacies you can find, but the real insider tip here is Fisch Witte; a small cute restaurant that serves fresh fish daily straight from the Danube. Here you can find a large range of fishes catered in many different ways, whether it be sushi, in pasta, or in a sandwich. After walking around the market, go check it out and make sure you grab a glass of wine to pair it with your delicious fish dish.<\/p>\n

Insider Tip:<\/strong> On Sundays here in Germany<\/a> all stores are closed, except for restaurants, bakeries, museums, and gas stations. Make sure you get everything you need for Sunday on Saturday, or you might find yourself in a tricky situation!\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Watch the sunrise from St. Peter\u2019s Church<\/h3>\n

St. Peter\u2019s Church is found in the middle of Munich, which cannot be missed, It is practically the highest building in the city. St. Peter\u2019s Church has to be one of the best places to see the spectacular city view of Munich for only 2\u20ac. However, the greatest insider tip is to go in the morning and watch the sunrise when it\u2019s not overly crowded with people during the day. What better way to start your day early in the morning with the beautiful morning sun shining through the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Kebab ice cream<\/h3>\n

This might sound a little bit weird, but if you have been in Germany long enough you will know kebabs are quite a huge thing here, you can find kebab stores on every corner. So, are you brave enough to try some kebab ice cream? There is a place called Der Verr\u00fcckte Eismacher which is popular amongst students and locals to come here and try weird flavored ice cream during their lunch break. Why be basic when you have all these flavors to choose from? If kebab isn\u2019t quite up to your alley, they also have beer-flavored ice cream and many other weird flavors to try. Although, many have said the ice cream tastes scarily accurate, so you have been warned!<\/p>\n

1. Hangout at the Tiergarten<\/h3>\n

This is a true insider tip as only the locals really know where it is. The Tiergarten is located outside of the Hellabrunn Zoo where you will find a secret spot by the Isar river that runs from the south to the north of the city. If you are here during the summers you will notice that many locals flock here to go swimming, have a barbeque and a couple of drinks with their friends, or if they simply just want to get out of the city for a while. You won\u2019t find any tourists here either, as it is kind of hidden so no one else but the locals truly know about this spot. Plus, when you\u2019re done relaxing at the Tiergarten you can continue your journey to explore the Hellabrunn zoo at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
