The PERFECT 2 Days in Munich Itinerary

Last updated on August 25th, 2024

Visiting Munich, Germany? We’re sharing the perfect 2 days in Munich itinerary, including the top sights and best local eats. Plus where to stay, how to get around, and so much more!

Back in December 2023, we were lucky to spend one month in Europe, with a couple of our main goals being to see snowy mountains and visit Christmas markets. 

And where can you easily accomplish both? Germany! Specifically, Bavaria in the southern region of the country. An area framed by the striking Bavarian Alps, loaded with lavish castles, and home to the country’s third largest city, Munich.

With a mix of modern and historic architecture, interesting history, loads of free and cheap activities, and delicious food, Munich was the perfect place to kick off our first time in Germany!

We had the best few days wandering around the city, trying as many local dishes as possible (we’re still dreaming about you, schmalznudel!), exploring a palace, watching surfers (yes, in the city!), experiencing our first German beer garden, and so much more. 

And in this guide we’re sharing all of our favorite spots, crafted into a 2 days in Munich itinerary. Plus, we’re including some extra ideas if you have more time, logistical information for your trip, and some of our top tips!

About Munich, Germany

The history of Munich dates back all the way to the mid-8th century, when Benedictine monks founded a monastery in the area. In fact the name Munich, or Munchen in German, actually means “home of the monks.” 

However, the city itself wasn’t considered to be founded until 1158. And in 1506, it became the capital of Bavaria, which at the time, was not part of Germany.

Over the years the city has endured fires, plagues, and wars, including World War II, where bombs destroyed more than 40% of the city. The city was meticulously rebuilt to look like its pre-war self, including a rule that no building is allowed to be taller than the spires of Frauenkirche, one of the most prominent cathedrals in the city.

Today the city maintains its Bavarian roots, but with a modern flair. And while it may be most famous for Oktoberfest, an annual beer festival and carnival, plus its copious amount of beer halls, there is so much more to the city! 

In Munich you can find world class museums, one of the largest city parks in the world, a mix of Bavarian and international cuisine, well loved sports teams, and so much more. Even as non-drinkers, we still had a blast in this city!

The perfect 2 days in Munich itinerary

Ready to explore Munich? This 2 days in Munich itinerary is perfect for first timers who want to experience Munich’s perfect mix of history, delicious local eats, and city life. We’re including our favorite coffee shops, local restaurants, and activities, with different ways to customize it for your own interests. Plus some extra ideas if you have 3 days in Munich too!

Below is a quick rundown of each day’s itinerary, as well as a custom Google Map that you can save to your own Google Maps, to access while out and about!

Day 1 in Munich

Your first day in Munich is all about exploring the Altstadt (Old Town) and seeing some of the major cultural sites of Munich that should be on every Munich itinerary!

Coffee at Sweet Spot Kaffee

Kick off the day with some coffee! Munich has tons of great coffee shops, but one of our favorites, right by Marienplatz, was sweet spot kaffee. This is a tiny spot that is best for takeaway. So grab a flat white (or your drink of choice!) and take it to go, as you walk to breakfast.

PS: Our suggested breakfast stop does have coffee as well, but we really loved sweet spot kaffee and recommend going there! You can always get more coffee at breakfast too. We don’t judge! 😉

Have breakfast at Cafe Frischhut

For a deliciously sweet breakfast, head to Cafe Frischhut! This spot is known for their freshly fried, doughy treats. Which you can watch them making right at the entrance! 

They are especially known for their schmalznudel (also called an auszogne), a Bavarian style pastry that has tall doughy walls, with a thinner layer in the middle. It basically tastes like an unsweetened donut. And to take it to the next level, you’re supposed to pour some sugar in the middle just before you eat it.

But besides the schmalznudel, you also must try a krapfen, which is a jam filled Bavarian donut. When we visited, this donut was filled with a delicious apricot jam. 

This place can be pretty busy, so we recommend getting there when they open at 9 AM to grab a seat (or you can order at the front and take it to go!). Also, they only accept cash and they are closed on Sundays. 

Walk around the Marienplatz

Next, head over to Marienplatz! This has been the city’s main square since Munich was founded in 1158. And is the most iconic place to visit in the city!

Since we visited Munich during Christmas, this square was filled with Christmas market stands, but during the rest of the year, you’ll find a wide open space, surrounded by gorgeous, ornate gothic architecture.

Some notable things to see and experience here are the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), the Fischbrunnen fountain, and all the shopping streets surrounding Marienplatz. Plus, see the views from above, which is what you’ll do next!

A+K Tip: Need a toilet while near Marienplatz? You can find one in the Neues Rathaus courtyard! It does have a small fee, but accepts credit cards/Apple Pay.

See the Altstadt from above

One of our favorite things we did during our 2 days in Munich was view the Altstadt from above! There are three different ways you can do this. You can either go up an elevator to the Neues Rathaus Observation Deck, take a spiral staircase (89 steps) and elevator up the Frauenkirche, or what we’d recommend, climbing 300 steps to the top of the St. Peter Church!

You may be thinking. But wait, isn’t Frauenkirche the highest point in the Altstadt? Why wouldn’t you just do that one? But what we loved about the St. Peter Church tower is that it directly overlooks Marienplatz and has a phenomenal, head on view of the Neues Rathaus.

It costs 5 EUR per person (credit cards accepted) to climb to the top and along the way you’ll get to look into the bell tower and see the huge bells! Once at the top, you can walk around all four sides of the tower. Depending on how busy it is, this can be a bit tight, but the views from all angles are phenomenal. Besides the view of Marienplatz you can also look down into the Viktualienmarkt, see the Bavarian Alps, and if you look hard, even catch a glimpse of Allianz Arena.

We’d recommend timing your visit up to the St. Peter Church with the performance of the Glockenspiel. We’ll share more about that next!

Watch the Rathaus-Glockenspiel

At the top of the Neues Rathaus you’ll notice a clock tower and everyday at 11 AM and 12 PM (plus 5 PM from March to October), the tower’s 43 bells and 32 life sized figures put on two back to back performances. 

These Glockenspiel performances tell the story of a knights tournament that took place in honor of the wedding of Duke Wilhelm V to Renate of Lorraine in 1568. As well as a story that shows barrel makers dancing in the streets to cheer up people frightened by a severe plague.

We loved seeing this! It’s hard to not be captivated and smile when hearing the beautiful music of the bells flooding the square. Plus watching everyone (presumably all tourists from around the world) stop in their tracks to look up and watch it together is a really neat moment. 

For an extra neat experience, climb the St. Peter Church tower about 30 minutes before the performance so you can see it from higher up! We recommend bringing some binoculars to get an even closer look.

Explore and have lunch at the Viktualienmarkt

After working up an appetite climbing towers, exploring, and admiring architecture, head over to the Viktualienmarkt. Located just a couple blocks away from the Marienplatz, this year-round, open air market has over 140 stalls selling produce, meats and cheeses, food vendors, flowers, gifts, and so much more!

It was easily one of our favorite places in Munich and is a must on any Munich itinerary, especially for food lovers! We loved wandering through the stalls, seeing tons of familiar (and not so familiar) items for sale, and sampling items from multiple spots.

One must-visit spot is the Munich Soup Kitchen, which has a wide variety of soups, including Leberknödel, a traditional dish with beef liver. Wurstimbiss Teltschik is a great place to try a traditional Bavarian weißwurst (white sausage), which is a popular breakfast item. And if you need an afternoon pick me up, check out Kaffeerösterei Viktualienmarkt!

Wander around Altstadt (Old Town)

Dinner at Andy’s Krablergarten

For dinner, head to Andy’s Krablergarten to try schnitzel! Schnitzel is meat that is pounded thin with a tenderizer and then breaded and fried. It is technically an Austrian dish, but is also popular in Germany. And at Andy’s Krablergarten they have a bunch of different variations! We got the Obatzda schnitzel, which is stuffed with Obatzda, a Bavarian cheese, plus the Champignon (mushroom) schnitzel!

WARNING: The schnitzel here is HUGE! Bigger than our faces! So if you’re not starving, we suggest splitting one. It’s also cash only and gets very busy, so try to arrive early or be prepared for a wait!

Day 2 in Munich

The second day of your 2 days in Munich itinerary will allow you to witness some of Bavaria’s family jewels, plus experience the city’s nature and fun attractions outside of the Altstadt! Including a handful of different options, so you can choose what excites you the most.

Grab some coffee

Another big day exploring Munich requires starting with some caffeine! We loved Man Versus Machine Coffee Roasters while in Munich, but if you want something a bit closer to the Altstadt, Kaffeerösterei Viktualienmarkt is another great choice!

One other spot we wanted to try, but ran out of time for, was Café Blá. However, they open a bit later, so it may not work well if you’d like to accomplish everything on this list today. But it’s another good option if you have more time!

Try a traditional Bavarian breakfast

If you didn’t try this at Viktualienmarkt yesterday, we highly recommend enjoying a traditional Bavarian breakfast this morning. This consists of weißwurst (white sausage) with mustard, a salty pretzel, and a weißbier. This beer is a lighter beer, so it has less alcohol, but if you don’t drink you can easily skip the beer. 

We loved having this at Wurstimbiss Teltschik in the Viktualienmarkt. However, they are not open every day and may be open too late depending on how early you want to start. So another option, which is said to be one of the best places to have weißwurst, is Weisses Bräuhaus im Tal. 

Weißwurst tip: Be sure to peel off the casing. It is edible, but since it’s soft, chewy, and not that pleasant to eat, most Germans don’t eat it on this sausage. 

Tour the Munich Residenz

For the rest of the morning, visit the Munich Residenz! From 1180 until 1918, Bavaria was ruled by the Wittelsbach dynasty. And the Munich Residenz served as the seat of government and residence of the Bavarian rulers from 1508 to 1918. 

Here you can tour a museum, the treasury, and the Cuvilliés Theatre. There are different tickets depending on what you’d like to see. We did the combination ticket with the museum and treasury, which we really enjoyed! Some of our favorite things we saw were the many family jewels and the gorgeous, ornate, giant rooms. Including the antiquarium, which is the oldest room in the residence and the largest and most lavish Renaissance hall north of the Alps.

Logistical information: The Residenz opens at 9 or 10 AM, depending on the time of year. And we suggest going early, as it gets quite busy. There are no guided tours, but there is a free audio guide available in multiple languages. You also will have to check your backpack or large bag (for free), so make sure you are able to carry whatever you may need in your hands or pockets.

Watch surfers at Eisbachwelle

Besides all the history and beautiful architecture of Munich, one of our favorite things was the Eisbachwelle at the English Garden! 

Right in the heart of Munich along the Eisbach River is a man-made wave that locals, visitors, and even famous surfers, have been surfing for over 40 years year-round (yes, even in the winter)! And it is so mesmerizing to watch! We hung around for about 45 minutes, but could’ve easily stayed all day. 

Explore the English Garden

After admiring the talented surfers, continue walking through the English Garden. This is not only Munich’s largest park, but it is one of the largest urban parks in the world! Even larger than Central Park in NYC! 

It has tons of green space and pathways and is a beautiful place to walk around year round. Some of the best things to do in the park are see the panoramic view from the Monopteros, hang out at the Chinese Tower, and walk around the Kleinhesseloher See, a small lake in the park. 

And depending on when you visit, the park is home to several festivals throughout the year, like Kocherlball, Japanfest, and a Christmas market at the Chinese Tower.

Have lunch at a beer garden 

One of the most iconic things to do in Germany, especially in Munich, is have a drink and meal at a beer garden! You have a plethora of options to choose from in Munich. Including a picturesque beer garden at the Chinese Tower, a very convenient stop when exploring the English Garden.

Quite possibly the most famous beer garden in Munich is Hofbräuhaus. It was founded in 1589 by the Duke of Bavaria, with the original purpose to serve beer to the Bavarian Court. It wasn’t until 1828 that the brewery opened to the public and today it is considered to be one of the most famous beer halls in the world, mostly with tourists, but also with some special locals, who have their own designated table and store their steins in a locker in the brewery.

Despite not drinking alcohol, we chose to go to Hofbräuhaus to experience the atmosphere and history (pictured: my brother’s beer). It is a VERY busy spot, where you’ll have to hunt down an open seat, but once you finally get one, it’s a fun environment to be in. There was live music during our visit, people walking around selling pretzels (cash only!), and a full menu if you want a meal.

Some other beer garden options include Augustiner-Keller, Löwenbräukeller, Paulaner Bräuhaus, Viktualienmarkt Beergarden, and Hirschgarten. Regardless of which you choose, some of the best foods to get at a beer garden are pretzels, Obatzda cheese, roast pork belly, schnitzel, sausage, käsespätzle, and our favorite, schweinshaxe, which is HUGE roasted pork knuckle!

Treat yourself to some ice cream

Make sure to leave some room in your stomach! On your way to your next stop, swing by Ballabeni Icecream Stammhaus for some delicious ice cream. Or save this for an after dinner treat if you’re stuffed!

Choose your own afternoon adventure!

For the rest of the day, you have some choices, depending on your interests. Here are some ideas!

Olympic Park

Munich hosted the Summer Olympics in 1972 and you can still visit the grounds at Olympic Park! We loved walking around here and seeing the different pools and stadiums, walking around the waterfront, plus taking a photo with the Olympic rings. Make sure to climb up to this spot to view the complex from higher up! It would also make for a great place to watch the sunset.

BMW Welt

BMW is based in Bavaria and for car lovers (and even those that aren’t!), BMW Welt is a fun and FREE place to visit right by Olympic Park. Here you can see a wide variety of BMWs from over the years (plus Mini Coopers), enjoy a few interactive displays, and even have coffee made from a robot. It’s well worth a quick visit when at Olympic Park!

BMW Museum

For an even deeper dive into all things BMW, head to the BMW Museum. This is a paid museum that shares more cars, motorcycles, and technology than the free version. Plus has different tours.

Visit other Munich museums

For art lovers, check out Kunsthalle Munich, an art museum with different exhibits highlighting photography, modern art, classic art, and design. Museum Brandhorst is another loved art museum, which focuses solely on modern and contemporary art. And if you prefer learning more about science and technology, head to the Deutsches Museum! 

FC Bayern Munich Allianz Arena tour

Any football fans out there? Go on the FC Bayern Munich Allianz Arena tour! You’ll not only be able to experience the stadium and walk in the footsteps of players, but also see trophies and check out a museum.

Enjoy a non-Bavarian dinner

For dinner, we suggest taking a break from Bavarian food and trying one of the city’s restaurants with other cuisines. Some great choices to look into are: 

Georgian Cuisine & Wine – IVERIA: A Georgian restaurant is a little bit away from the Altstadt, but is worth the trek. Here you’ll find a wide variety of authentic dishes, like Khinkali (dumplings). Make sure to make a reservation! 

Chopan: This Afghan restaurant is praised for its lamb dishes. You will also need a reservation for this one!

Bindaas: For delicious Indian food, head to Bindaas, which has a really cool vibe! They focus on street food style dishes, with a popular choice being the Gobi Manchurian. Reservations are also highly recommended here, but not required.

Sesam Falafel: For something more casual and affordable (more our style!), check out Sesam Falafel. You won’t find anything fancy here, but rather solid falafel plates and wraps, all for a decent price (cash only though).

Alte Utting: For something unique, why not go eat on an old boat…on a bridge?! Alte Utting is a former steamer ship that has turned into a bar and hangout spot, with multiple food vendors. While you won’t find fine dining here, you’ll have an experience unlike anywhere else in town. You can make a reservation here, which we’d especially recommend for larger groups.

Have 3 days in Munich?

One of the best things about Munich is that it is located so close to many other incredible things to do in Bavaria! If you have 3 days in Munich, here are some ideas of what you could add to your Munich itinerary.

Take a Dachau Concentration Camp Tour

It’s no secret that Munich is home to some horrifying history. For a somber, but important experience, visit the Dachau Concentration Camp, one of the many concentration camps during the Holocaust. This tour will provide a much better understanding of what occurred here, versus going on your own.

If you want to learn even more about WWII history in Munich, this Dachau Concentration Camp tour will take you around important sites both in the city, plus at Dachau.

Visit Nymphenburg Palace

For a palatial experience close to Munich, head to Nymphenburg Palace! Located less than an hour by train from Munich, this makes for a great half day trip if you have more than 2 days in Munich. This palace served as the main summer residence for former rulers of Bavaria. It is a huge property, with the palace to tour, plus gardens on the grounds. Make sure to get your tickets online in advance to avoid waiting in long lines!

Go to the top of Germany

Visit Neuschwanstein Castle

Located about 2 hours (by car) from Munich is the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle, which was built by King Ludwig II and served as the inspiration for Walt Disney. You can view the castle (and the nearby Hohenschwangau Castle) from outside or pay for a tour!

Similar to Zugspitze, you can visit Neuschwanstein by car, public transportation, or go on a tour, like the Neuschwanstein Castle Tour from Munich. We personally suggest spending a couple days in the area, so you can visit multiple castles (including some ruins!), check out a waterfall, and visit the town. But if you only have an extra day, it’s still worth taking a long day trip to visit!

When to visit Munich

Munich is a year-round destination, with each season offering something a little different. In the winter, especially late November through Christmas, you can find countless Christmas markets to enjoy, the spring brings back outdoor beer gardens and perfect temperatures for wandering the English Garden, summertime is home to lots of festivals (like Tollwood), and the fall is famous for Oktoberfest.

We personally visited Munich in mid December, during peak Christmas market season and LOVED it! Seeing the city decked out for the holidays, plus having easy access to tons of food stalls, made it such a festive, delicious, and fun experience. However, we personally wouldn’t suggest visiting in the winter outside of the market season, as it can be pretty cold, parks are less green, and the beer gardens are not open. 

Next time we go to Munich we would love to visit in the spring or summer to see it during its greener, warmer season!

Getting to Munich

Located in Southern Germany, in the state of Bavaria, Munich is a relatively easy city to get to. Both from other regions of Germany, plus nearby countries, such as Austria. 

Flying to Munich

Munich is home to the Munich International Airport (MUC). This airport has nonstop flights from many destinations all around Europe, plus nonstop flights from various US cities, like Chicago (ORD), San Francisco (SFO), and Charlotte (CLT). What is great about this airport is there is an S-Bahn station, making getting into the Munich city center a breeze!

Public transportation to Munich

If you’re already in Europe, Munich can be reached by train or bus from other nearby cities, including a non stop train from Berlin (Germany) or Innsbruck (Austria), plus many connecting routes. Depending on if the train is cheaper or quicker than a flight, this could be a great option!

How to get around Munich

Getting around Munich is a breeze! Munich has some of the best and highest developed public transportation in the world. Coming from the United States where public transportation is lackluster to nonexistent in many places, we LOVED taking the public transportation around!

Not only is it abundant, but it’s also efficient and very easy to use! Between the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram, and bus systems you’ll be able to get just about anywhere you need to quickly. 

U-Bahn and S-bahn

The U-Bahn and the S-Bahn systems are the two main rail systems in Munich. 

The U-Bahn is the underground railway system. It includes 8 lines serving over 100 stations marked with a U on a blue background. While the S-Bahn is the urban rail network connecting the entire metro area, including the airport. It also has 8 lines and over 150 stations marked with an S on a green background.

We took both and didn’t prefer one over the other, we just chose whichever was most convenient!

Tram

On top of the S-Bahn and U-Bahn, Munich also offers a tram system, which dates all the way back to 1876! This was probably our favorite mode of transportation in Munich. These trams go all through the streets, which is such a fun way to see the city!

Bus

Munich also has a great bus system! The downside to buses is that you’re in traffic with vehicles, but sometimes it’s the best option. We took the bus a handful of times and it was always a positive experience. Just make sure you request your stop (by pressing the stop button) so they don’t skip it!

Walk

Much of Munich is very walkable, especially the Altstadt! But if you’re staying outside of this area, you’ll likely want to use public transportation to get into the center. Once in the city center, you can easily walk to get around a neighborhood and then use public transport to get to another area. 

Taxi/Uber

Munich also has taxis and Uber. However, we never felt that we needed this, as we could walk or take public transportation anywhere we needed to go.

Bike and scooter share

Another fun way to get around Munich is the bike and scooter share program. You can use the MVGO app to see bikes available around you. 

Where to stay in Munich

Being one of the largest cities in Germany you’ll have myriad options of places to stay. Here are a handful of options, broken down by neighborhood!

Where we stayed

During our visit we stayed at the Holiday Inn Leuchtenbergring, which was a little bit outside of the Altstadt, but was right by an S-Bahn station, making our journey into town a breeze. We were able to stay at this hotel for FREE, due to our IHG credit card, but even if we had paid for it, we’d still recommend it. The room was clean, comfortable, and despite some traveler complaints about noise, we didn’t find it to be noisy at all (we had a courtyard room though).

Food tip: If you stay at this hotel, we loved VogelMaier Kaffeerösterei for coffee and also grabbed kebaps multiple times down the street at Isar Kebaphaus (cash only)! They do not speak much English, which made ordering a bit of a struggle, but it’s a very affordable and tasty meal!

Altstadt (best place to stay for your first visit)

If you want the ultimate convenience, stay in the Altstadt! Since this is the most touristy area of town, prices can be a bit higher, but you will be right in the heart of the action. We’d suggest a hotel here, as vacation rentals are a bit limited and pricier.

Holiday Inn Munich City Centre
Hotel Mirabell
Hotel MIO

Schwabing

Schwabing is a bit further out from the Altstadt, but it’s a great spot if you want to enjoy walks in the English Garden. It will give you more of a local experience in the city! And with public transportation, it makes it easy to access other areas.

Tips & things to know for visiting Munich

Download offline Google Translate & Maps

We used Google Maps to navigate and Google Translate to help us decode German. And we highly recommend downloading both for offline use before getting to Munich. This will enable you to use Google Maps or Google Translate even if you do not have cell phone service or have limited data with your SIM card. You can see how to download Google Maps here!

Get an eSIM

Unless your cell phone provider offers free international text and data, you will likely need to get some sort of data plan or SIM card. For our trip to Munich, we got eSIMs from Airalo! 

This is a SIM that you can download to your phone. It saves the hassle of having to get a physical SIM in every country you visit! You can get an eSIM for a specific country or for an entire region, making it extra easy to use if you plan to hop between countries. We used it for Germany, Austria, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark.

Carry cash

We noticed Germany tended to be a heavier cash based country, including Munich. While many places did take cards, we did encounter quite a few cafes and restaurants that were cash only.

You can find ATMs all over town and we suggest going to a bank ATM for the best rates. 

Want to avoid ATM fees? We have a Charles Schwab checking account specifically for international travel. They refund ATM fees from ANY ATM worldwide! This gave us lots of freedom to use whichever ATM was most convenient.

When we could use a credit card in Munich, we used one of our travel credit cards to earn points and miles for future trips. Curious which ones we use? Learn more about our favorite travel credit cards.

You will have to pay for public toilets

One thing that is very common in other continents is paying for public restrooms. While this may seem like a pain, typically they are very cheap and kept very clean! Make sure to have coins or cash handy to pay. We did encounter some that took card or Apple Pay though! 

You can usually use the restrooms in restaurants or cafes for free, so make sure to take advantage of that if you’re dining somewhere!

Some places are closed on Sundays

One common thing that we did not realize before going to Munich is that many things are closed on Sundays. This includes most supermarkets and some restaurants. While you will find plenty of restaurants open, make sure to check hours for any place you want to visit, if your 2 days in Munich falls on a Sunday.

Bike lanes vs. walking lane

As you walk around Munich you’ll notice that the sidewalks are split into two lanes. One side is a biking lane and one side is a walking lane. Make sure to stay in the correct lane!

Don’t jaywalk

While we don’t consider ourselves jaywalkers, we sometimes try to hustle across a crosswalk before the light changes for traffic. In Germany, they strictly follow the crosswalk signals. One time we crossed the street when it was about to turn to “don’t walk” and realized none of the Germans did. They all stayed back. It was a quick lesson learned that we should just be a bit more patient and only cross when it explicitly says to do so.

Pack a reusable water bottle

To save money (and plastic!), pack a reusable water bottle! There are free fountains that you can fill up your bottle at Viktualienmarkt. Plus we would fill up at our hotel every day. 

If ordering water at a restaurant, make sure to ask for tap water to avoid paying for an overpriced glass bottle of water…don’t ask us how we know!

Tipping culture

Germany (and Europe in general) doesn’t have the same tipping culture as the United States, where 20% is the expected amount. Employees are paid a living wage, so tipping is not as expected. However, it is kind to tip around 5-10%.

Don’t expect a lot of small talk

Generally most people in Germany don’t say hello or make small talk, but once spoken to are more than happy to help you or answer any questions you have. Don’t be put off if some people don’t seem very friendly at first. We ended up finding people in Munich to be much friendlier than we expected!
