Lonely Planet review

Munich's most glamorous shopping street, Maximilianstrasse, begins at Max-Joseph-Platz home to some of the city's most beloved edifices. Among them is the grandiose Nationaltheater, home to the Bavarian State Opera and the granddaddy of them all - the Residenz. The square centres on a statue of Max I Joseph, the Bavarian king who proclaimed Germany's first constitution in 1818. At the southern end of the square is the old central post office with a frescoed Italianate arcade.
