Sebastian Wesely
If you're in the market for traditional souvenirs, this little shop (in business since 1557) has floor-to-ceiling shelves of carved angels, pewter tankards, beer steins, carved figurines and handmade candles. The sales ladies are quick with a smile and happy to help.

Servus Heimat
Everything a gift store should be - fun, happy to see you and stocked with unique souvenirs that play with Bavarian symbols like tees emblazoned with Empress Sisi or the Olympic Stadium outline. Campy, tongue-in-cheek chic.

Susanne Bommer
Avant-gardists will love Susanne Bommer in Haidhausen. The speciality here is transparent clothing (capes, wrap-around blouses etc) for the cashed-up female. Just browsing is fun. There is a second store on Rumfordstrasse.

Viktualienmarkt
Fresh fruits and vegetables, piles of artisan cheeses, tubs of exotic olives, hams and jams, chanterelles and truffles - Viktualienmarkt , is a feast of flavours and one of Europe's finest gourmet markets. Prices are high, naturally, but so is the quality and many items sold here are hard to find elsewhere. Generally speaking, stalls along the main walkways are more expensive than those a little off to the side.
