 Carnival season |
Viktualienmarkt Munich, Bayern 80331 Germany http://www.muenchen-tourist.de |
Munich's two-month long carnival season (during which hundreds of parties and events take place) starts with the official "coronation" of the carnival Prince and Princess on the Marienplatz and reaches its peak on Shrove Tuesday with the dance of the market women on Viktualienmarkt. On Ash Wednesday locals queue in front of the Fischbrunnen fountain to rinse their purse. This, apparently, will ensure it will soon be full again. Make sure you can get to one of the carnival events if you are in Munich in January or February. See website's "event" section for listing of yearly happenings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Ice-skating in winter, swimming in summer |
Prinzregentenstraße 80 Munich, Bayern 81675 Germany +49 89 474808 |
From the end of October to mid-March, the Prinzregentstadion offers you the chance to spend a few hours ice skating, regenerating and letting your mind run free. You can give yourself the same therapy for the other months of the year, but then you have to use other lanes, as the rest of the stadium is transformed into an open-air swimming pool. Regional and local league ice-hockey games take place at the weekend during the winter. The high point of the winter season has to be the annual carnival celebrations on ice organised by Narvalla, the Fasching (carnival) association. Review © 2007, Wcities |
