1 WERKSVIERTEL
Working, living, learning, eating, celebrating and attending concerts – the new quarter next to Munich’s Ostbahnhof (East station) combines high-tech modernity with vibrant art and culture. This former industrial area is gradually being transformed, its converted factories and warehouses and contemporary new buildings housing studios, workshops, bars, restaurants, homes and offices. View it all from above at the MH5 Roof Bar, with its panoramic terrace (Atelierstrasse 10; muenchenhoch5.de), or from the 78-metre-tall Hi-Sky Ferris wheel, which occupies an area earmarked for a new concert hall (construction is planned to start next year). werksviertel.de
2 MUSEUM QUARTER
Take a taxi to the museum quarter in Maxvorstadt, to the north-west of Werksviertel. One of the most outstanding areas for art and culture in Europe, it’s home to galleries such as the Old and New Pinakothek, the Pinakothek der Moderne, the Museum Brandhorst (pictured left) and the Lenbachhaus, as well as ancient sculpture museum the Glyptothek, which reopens in January following renovations.
