I am going to be staying at the Courtyard by Marriott on schwanthalerstrasse 37. What sort of attractions are in that area? How far is it from the main train station?

Schwanthaler Str 37 is about one block south of the Main train Stration. That is about a 10-15 walk from Marienplatz or the center of town. The train station is a main transfer point for Sbahns and Ubahns; so with a partner day ticket most main tourist sights will be easy to reach.

Thank you for the information. I guess most of my questions regard what tourist stuff is close to that area. Shopping, food, museums etc.

Main shopping lies along your walk from the train station to Marienplatz. The area is littered with restaurants near the train station and Marienplatz. The Residenz lies NNE of Marienplatz and still within walking distance. The art museums lie NNE of the train station, perhaps 15 minutes walking time. Other museums are scattered about the main core of town. The Englisher Garten and museums located near it were worth a Ubahn ride to us. We did not visit Nymphenburg but I understand that it is an Sbahn ride away. A map of the inner city and the metro system will be worthwhile to you.

A few blocks north of the station are the Pinakotheks (old and new0, premier art museums. Also nearby is the Bavarian State Museum. As Triskit said, 15 minute walk east takes you to Marianplatz and the home of the Glockespiel. Just north of that is the Victuelenmarket, just south are numerous beerhalls including the famous Hofbrauhaus. Another 10 to 15 minutes past the Marianplatz in the direction of the Isartor tower takes you to the German National Musem, a major industry and lifestyle museum, on an island in the Isar river (see http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en for details). However, as Triskit mentioned, a single day pass on the U-bahn/S-bahn gets you all over Munich and close to most of these attractions very quickly.
