The Radio Days Europe ’24 conference schedule is packed from early morning til late night for the conference days, but if you fly in early, we continue our series of articles highlighting some suggestions of how to spend an extra day in Munich, from well know radio industry locals.
Morning show presenter Wolfgang “Leiki” Leikermoser together with Indra Willer-Gerdes are the morning show hosts from Antenne Bayern and they warmly welcome visitors to Munich.
Leiki made the following suggestions for a great day in Munich for anyone coming to the Radio Days Europe Conference,
Start the day with..
The perfect start to the morning begins with an oven-fresh Bavarian pretzel! You can recognise the really good ones by the fact that they are always a little puffy at the thickest part.
Sights. favourite places, insider tips…
While you’re here, you should definitely go to Nymphenburg Palace Park, a real work of garden art and beauty. Architecturally, this place is also emblematic of Bavaria’s splendour and magnificence.
Above all, you can go for a wonderful jog here and enjoy a very long lap.
For those who feel romantic, there’s also a real Venetian gondola perfect for lovers.

Lunch…
Hungry again? It’s actually impossible to eat badly in Munich!
If it’s not too cold, make sure you go to the Taxisgarten, a traditional and cosy beer garden where many Munich residents always sit. It’s been around for 100 years and the beautiful old trees have probably been there even longer.
You can round off the evening…
In the evening, the best place to go out is near Stachus! There are lots of charming restaurants, bars and clubs there. You’re guaranteed NOT to meet me there, because as a morning show host I naturally go to bed a little earlier than one or the other.
Have a great time in Bavaria!
Here is Indra’s personal program for a wonderful time for anyone coming to Radio Days:
Start the day with…
A short jog through the English Garden, or go for a walk with a coffee to go as the English Garden is the largest connected park in the world and really beautiful! The northern part in particular is often deserted.

Lunch…
At lunchtime go to the Viktualienmarkt to Fisch Witte, eat a snack and drink a glass of wine or two.
Sights, favourite places, insider tips…
Afterwards, simply stroll through our beautiful city centre to the Town Hall and discover that Munich’s architecture is a bit like a fairy tale.
A coffee in between…
Make a detour to the Bar Centrale. There’s always so much going on here on Saturdays that guests stand in the street with their cappuccino and Aperol Spritz in hand – pure Italo feeling!
Dinner…
If you want to go out for something to eat in the evening, I recommend Kull, a French bistro in New York style, just round the corner from Bar Centrale. Or a cheaper option a simple cuisine, but right in the heart of the Glockenbach district (there’s a lot going on here in the evening): Pizzeria Monaco.

Round off the evening…
If you want to party: there are parties for younger people around Lenbachplatz (e.g. 089 Bar), in Kunstpark Ost or in the Glockenbachviertel. Here you’ll find lots of small bars and restaurants as well as my favourite club: Paradiso.
