French Quarter east of the Isar — Wiener Platz, Hofbräukeller, Gasteig
East of the Isar and reachable via the Maximilianeum bridge, Haidhausen is Munich's 'French Quarter' — the 19th-century planning grid, Pariser Platz at its centre, the Gasteig culture-centre on the western edge, the Wiener Platz with its open-air food market and the Hofbräukeller beer garden. The gezgin uses Haidhausen for the residential-Munich lunch and the Wiener-Platz weekend stroll, plus the Gasteig-adjacent culture evening.
