München - Leopoldstrasse

Leopoldstrasse continues the line of Ludwigstrasse northward from the Siegestor to the square known as the Münchener Freiheit and beyond. It is both a major traffic artery and a favorite promenade for the inhabitants of Schwabing. Numerous cafes tempt the passer-by to linger; and on summer evenings, by the light of candles and oil-lamps, artists, students and miscellaneous hawkers offer for sale a wide variety of arts and crafts, trinkets and trash: water-colors and oil-paintings, leather goods, articles in silver-ware, carvings and other items of varying degrees of utility.
