For information on the Bavarian mountain region south of Munich, contact Bavarian Tourism (www.bavaria.us).

As well as tourist offices, a great way to start your Munich visit is to go to Infopoint in Alterhof's Münchner Kaiserburg, a comprehensive information center for all museums and palaces across Bavaria.

Infopoint Museen Bayern, Münchner Kaiserburg. In addition to information on Bavarian museums and palaces, you'll find a vaulted cellar where two short films (also in English) play, one about Munich’s history, the other about Alter Hof. To get here from Marienplatz, walk 180 yards down attractive Burgstrasse and through Alter Hof's tower. On the right is Infopoint. Another 100 yards will take you to the Münzhof entrance, and another 50 to the Residenz Theater, next to the Residenz. This walk is an incredible introduction to 1,000 years of history. It's open Monday–Saturday 10–6. Alter Hof 1, Altstadt, Munich, Bavaria, 80331. 089/2101--4050; www.muenchner-kaiserburg.de.
