content: Hi guys! Since a lot of EEVBees are from Germany, can anyone recommend good electronics stores in Munich?Soon I'll travel to Switzerland and then to Munich and looking to buy some of the Raspberry Pi models, Arduino and the likes, since here in Serbia the market for these things is pretty slim.

content: There used to be a load of them in the backstreets near Hauptbanhof, but when I went a couple of years ago there was only one left.Conrad is probably the best bet - I think there are several branches in Munich - no idea what their prices are like though.Do online sellers not ship to Serbia?

content: I'd like to avoid Conrad like the plague. Inflated prices for items you can buy directly from China for much less.They have some good products though like relay boards.

content: Yeah they ship, but usually the shipping is not free and customs "take their cut". Okay, that'll be fun day, hunting for the stores, thanks for tips.

content: well, there is Bürklin (www.buerklin.de) in Oberhaching, near Munich. They were around the main station but moved some years ago. You can order online and then fetch the stuff in Oberhaching.Edit: typo..

content: Best places are Schillerstraße / Landwehrstr / Schwanthalerstr. next to the main station.There is:Hartnagelhttp://www.elektroatlas.de/elektro-hartnagel-gmbh-in-muenchen-29252Holzinger Electonic (apparently without homepage?https://www.google.de/maps/@48.136307,11.561193,3a,75y,192.32h,86.49t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6LqkUDMsKSa8QhXXTThewg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656And there was a shop just for electric motors / stepper motors in Landwehrstr. (but cannot find online right now)There are plenty of "Computer Shops" that also will sell electronics parts in some cases.GreetingsMax

content: Hartnagel seems to have turned into "Balzer CFS":http://www.balzer-cfs.de/index.htmI don't remember seeing anything as new as an Arduino there anyway.You might want to get in touch with some of the Munich hackerspaces, they might have shopping advice:https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/MunichIf you are going to Zurich, you can try Pusterla, but it won't be cheap.

content: I am only an occasional visitor to Munich, and I defer to all of the above, who clearly know far more places than I.I wouldn't ignore Conrad, but based on the above they seem to be not at all your best bet - their stock is extensive, though.But I would add: If you're going to Munich, do try to visit theDeutsches Museum. If your only interest is in electronics and computers,what the hell is the matter with youplan on spending at least half a day.Oh, and: Buy a pass for the transit system (U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, and buses) and carry a smartphone that maps it for you. Awesome.

content: *Thread necromancing intensifies* Trip to Munich was awesome and we did indeed visit Deutsches Musem. It was wonderful, you need half a day just for quick browsing. It really was great, and of course we visited Hofbrauhaus and Hard Rock Cafe right across. And we went to Conrad for the store, not the best prices, but they do have a lot of great stuff, probably spent there couple of hours.Great trip all in all!
