Entertainment
As you might expect from a major metropolis, Munich's entertainment scene is lively and multifaceted, though not particularly edgy. You can hobnob with high society at the opera or the chic P1 disco, hang with the kids at an indie club, catch a flick alfresco or watch one of Germany's best soccer teams triumph in a futuristic stadium.
Cinemas
For show information check any of the listings publications. Movies presented in their original language are denoted in listings by the acronym OF (Originalfassung) or OV (Originalversion); those with German subtitles are marked OmU (Original mit Untertiteln).
Listings
Websites useful for tuning into the local scene include www.munig.com, www.munichx.de, www.ganz-muenchen.de and www.muenchengehtaus.com. All are in German but are not too hard to navigate with some basic language skills. In München (www.in-muenchen.de), a freebie mag available at bars, restaurants and shops, is the most detailed print source for what's on in Munich. Munich Found (www.munichfound.de) is an English-language magazine geared towards expats and visitors. For glossy weekly lifestyle and entertainment news, consult Prinz München (http://prinz.de/muenchen).
Tickets & Reservations
Tickets to cultural and sporting events are available at venue box offices and official ticket outlets, such as Zentraler Kartenvorverkauf. Outlets are also good for online bookings, as is München Ticket, which shares premises with the tourist office.
