München - Neuhauser Strasse (Kaufinger Strasse)

Running between Karlsplatz (Stachus) and Marienplatz, Neuhauser Strasse and Kaufinger Strasse comprise the heart of Munich's pedestrian zone created in the Old Town area after the completion of the U- and S-Bahn tunnels. Both are major shopping streets, with individual retailers and branches of large departmental stores. Neuhauser Strasse in particular also boasts several noteworthy buildings - Karlstor, the Bürgersaal, the Alte Akademie, the splendid old Michaelskirche and the Deutsche Jagd- und Fischereimuseum (Hunting and Fishing Museum).

In fine weather the precinct takes on the character of a huge open-air stage, providing a venue for buskers of all nationalities and a colorful motley of street artists and performers of every kind.
