Street art as a form of art of the 21st century is rightly considered as a global celebrated phenomenon, nevertheless street art hasn't arrived enough in the art discourse. The newly build Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA) wants t o make a change by enrolling street art into art history and by building a bridge between the international art scene, artists and the public. The idea of MUCA is to bring art and its people together to a place of self-reflection, with the main question of what a visionary museum stands for. Due to COVID-19, new rules of hygiene and conduct apply. Please note: Maintain a safe distance of at least one and a half meters from other people. In addition, wearing a mouth-nose protection both on public transport and in all shops, museums, galleries, exhibitions, etc. is mandatory. It is also compulsory within the catering trade. Non-observance will be prosecuted under criminal law. Further information can be found at www.muca.eu

The Viktualienmarkt is located in the heart of Munich and is the culinary centre of the city. Bakers, butchers, fishmongers, delicatessens and flower stands have made the market a Munich landmark for over 200 years. In addition, the beer garden and the maypole attract many visitors every day. COVID-19 introduces new rules of conduct. It is mandatory to wear a mouth-nose cover when shopping at all markets - no matter whether in or in front of the stalls. This obligation also applies when crossing or staying on the market areas (no touching of goods and persons on the market). Exceptions: At the Viktualienmarkt, however, there is no obligation to wear a mask when strolling or crossing the street, as a sufficient distance to the sales points can be maintained. If there is no mouth and nose cover available, a scarf or shawl can be tied in front of the mouth and nose. This applies to all market participants aged six years and older, i.e. traders, salesmen, customers and visitors to the market. Observance of the minimum distance of 1.5 metres to other people and compliance with the general rules of hygiene.

Surfing in the middle of the city - the Eisbach wave is considered worldwide as the most constant, biggest and best river wave in the middle of a big city. For more than 40 years the surfers have been attracting numerous people. However, only absolute professionals should venture into the water here, because surfing is neither easy nor safe and therefore not suitable for beginners. The relaxation of the corona restrictions makes it possible: Surfing in the Eisbach is allowed again - but under strict hygiene conditions. As everywhere, a minimum distance of 1.5 metres between two people must be maintained, even in the queues for access to the water. Spectators are not allowed in the Eisbach for the time being.
