I'm heading to Europe later this week for a short visit to Munich and Vienna.

My main purpose is to see the Bruegel paintings in both cities but I am taking a couple of cameras with me and hope to get some photographs and see some photography.

I may also see about selling my Leica M3 and 50mm Summicron

Any recommendations?

Cafés, bookshops, bars with music, camera shops etc. I already have a visit to Joe Geier at Mint and Rare in Vienna planned.

Hugendubel on Marienplatz is a great bookshop. Nice cafés in the Schwabing district, not far from the central city, though there are many good cafés in the centre too. Used to enjoy Stadtcafe at the Stadtmuseum (city museum). There look to be a couple of Leicashops in Munich but I have not visited them.
 
If you are into Cafes Vienna is the place to go. Munich is famous for its „Biergärten“ where you can eat and drink beer under old trees in good company.

In Vienna there are a lot of camera stores, in Munich is at least one Leica shop but it is quite small in comparison to Leica camera classics in Vienna.
 
And in Munich the Deutsches Museum is the world's largest technology museum. Their Photography and Film exhibition looks pretty good, 1200 exhibits... including a chrome M5 🙂

Photography and Film - Deutsches Museum

The exhibition Photo and Film shows 200 years of photo and film history. From camera obsucra, Le Daguerreotype and light-tone cinema to scanners, normal film cameras, beamers, scanners and digital single-lens reflex cameras.
