Munich/East

The area of East Munich comprises all the mostly residential districts of Munich which are located to the east of the river Isar, besides the neighborhood closest to the city center, Haidhausen. Clockwise from north to south this districts are the wealthy Bogenhausen neighborhood, Berg am Laim, Trudering-Riem with the trade exhibition center, and the working-class neighborhoods of Ramersdorf-Perlach, Obergiesing, and Untergiesing-Harlaching. The whole area has only a few places of interest to a traveler, but places like the Munich Zoo and the Flaucher beaches are real hidden treasures. The most important place for any traveller in the area is indubitably the 48.1358211.6947181 New Trade Fair grounds (Messe München) in Trudering-Riem.

The A 94, coming from Passau, doubles as a local street between the Riem trade fair grounds at the eastern city limits and the end of the autobahn in the center of the area.
