Munich is very nice has a lot of restaurants and bars around, at the center has a building were are dancing on the tower some kind of soldiers it's a beautiful thing. Also has Oktoberfest it was something amazing people all over the world a huge space a lot of beers 🍻🍻 we really had a nice time.
Marienplatz is the beating heart of Munich — lively, historic, and absolutely beautiful. The New Town Hall is breathtaking, and the Glockenspiel show is worth waiting for. Whether you’re sightseeing, shopping, or just people-watching with a coffee, this square has the perfect Munich vibe.”❤️❤️❤️❤️
Marienplatz is the heart of Munich — full of life, history, and charm. The stunning architecture, lively atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings make it a must-visit spot. Whether you’re watching the Glockenspiel or enjoying a coffee nearby, every moment here feels special.
Considered the heart of Munich, this vibrant street offers everything you need. Shopping centers, restaurants, and cafes line the entire avenue, making it a truly beautiful place for shopping and strolling. Don't miss the opportunity to visit.
When I went out from underground it was just.. breathtaking. Place is pretty and alive. There's a lot of people, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. Marienplatz is just a heart of Munich. I highly recommend visiting this place!
A Must-See Spot in Munich! Marienplatz is such a lively and beautiful place — truly the heart of Munich! We loved walking through the square, surrounded by amazing old buildings, shops, and cafés. The highlight was definitely the Glockenspiel at the New Town Hall — the music, the moving figures, and the whole crowd watching together make it feel so special. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, people-watch, and take in the atmosphere. Everything in Munich seems to connect here — the energy, the history, and the charm of the city all in one place. If you’re visiting Munich, don’t miss Marienplatz, especially around noon when the Glockenspiel comes to life, arrive 15 minutes early to find the best spot. It’s such a fun and unforgettable experience!
My favorite place to stroll around, watch people, and just enjoy the city vibe. You can walk, shop, eat, and simply get lost in the charm of Munich. There’s something about this place — the mix of old buildings, lively atmosphere, and cozy corners — that makes me always end up staying longer than planned. If you’re in Munich, just come here with no plan. Let the city take you wherever it wants to. ✨
The city center of Munich is an absolutely stunning and lively area centered around the famed Marienplatz. Dominated by the magnificent Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), a Neo-Gothic architectural gem, the square's highlight is the famous Glockenspiel, which draws crowds daily to watch its mechanical figures perform. The area is a fantastic blend of history and modern life, with the towering Frauenkirche (Cathedral) just a short walk away, alongside the bustling Viktualienmarkt and the start of the main pedestrian shopping zones (like Kaufingerstraße). Whether you're sightseeing at the Residenz, shopping for luxury goods, or simply soaking up the authentic Bavarian atmosphere at a nearby Wirtshaus, the city center serves as the perfect, walkable hub for exploring all that Munich has to offer.

This is a very beautiful garden. It is very large and it is relaxing. I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Munich. The river surfing was incredible.
A kind of “Central Park” in Munich – a very nice place to visit. The park is spacious, green, and perfect for a walk or to just relax. A special highlight is the surfers on the river – definitely a must-see attraction that makes this place unique.
One of the best places of the city. Perfect for strolling around, making picnics, relax to the sound of the leaves. For me, the best spot is the lake, where you can sit next to lots of ducks and other kinds of bird.
The English Garden in autumn is absolutely stunning. The trees turn golden, red, and orange, creating a beautiful contrast with the rivers and meadows. It’s perfect for peaceful walks, cycling, or just relaxing under the colorful leaves. The atmosphere feels calm and magical — a must-visit spot to experience Munich’s fall beauty.
A very beautiful place to visit. Basically u can do any outdoor activity outside, volleyball..picnics..football…even surfing?? So surprised. The water is very clear, u can see through it till the bottom. Full of energy.
The Heart of Nature in Munich 🌿 The English Garden is absolutely breathtaking — a perfect blend of peace, beauty, and city life. You can stroll along the rivers, watch surfers at the Eisbach, or simply relax under the trees and enjoy the calm atmosphere. It’s clean, green, and full of life — families, couples, and friends all enjoying the day together. Whether for a picnic, a bike ride, or just a quiet moment by the lake, the English Garden is truly one of Munich’s most magical places. ✨🌳
This is, without a doubt, the best place in Munich. It's a massive, beautiful urban park that feels like a world away from the city. You could easily spend an entire day here relaxing, walking, or watching the surfers.
A must see if you're in Munich. Absolutely an amazing park with lots to see and do there. Playgrounds for kids, lot's of places to get something to eat and drink. Plus a couple of places to surf, yes you read correctly surf. The river is very clean and as you can see in the photos, very popular with surfer's and fun to watch for non surfers. A true gem of a park in Munich. Oh this park is huge it'll take a few hours to take it all in.

Slide 1 of 8
Visited with my family and absolutely loved the experience! It was stunning to explore the past, present, and future of BMW cars and bikes. You can easily spend hours here — it’s not like a boring museum where you just watch; here you get engaged and drown in the world of innovation and design. Never knew BMW also used to manufacture aircraft engines — such a cool surprise! A must-visit for anyone who loves cars, bikes, or technology!
The BMW Museum in Munich is a must-visit; especially if you love cars and design. The building itself is modern and impressive; showcasing the brand’s history from classic models to future innovations. The exhibits are beautifully organized; each section tells a clear story with amazing visuals and interactive displays. You can see everything from vintage BMWs to new ones up close. It’s clean, well-run, and easy to explore. Definitely one of the best car museums in the world.
Great experience. So they have a combination of a Car showroom and the Museum. The Museum is divided into Rooms with numbers marked and different categories of cars and bikes. The entire power train portion has very nice engines to see from Aircrafts to marine, etc. m Must Visit
So, if you like cars its a must stop in München, I would highly recommend you to buy your tickets before arriving, it can get a bit full if you dont plan in advanced, the Museum has free lockers so its also a big benefit. Also in the museum is card only ( weird for being Germany) but a great thing to know. Theres different types of tours available and also shops. In the other side of the museum ( crossing the bridge) theres BMW Welt which is also nice and free
Fantastic museum showcasing BMW's impressive history and innovation! Even though it was quite crowded during our visit, the museum is excellently organized, making it easy to navigate through the exhibits. The collection of classic and modern vehicles is stunning, and the displays are well-curated. A must-visit for car enthusiasts and anyone interested in automotive history!
Well laid out and easy to navigate the museum. I bought tickets on my phone as i walked up to the building but there are also koisks inside. There are free lockers for small/medium bags and a jacket. There is a small Cafe with sandwiches, salad, pizza, drinks and coffee. If your thing is cars, motorcycles, airplanes, motors or just BMW in general this is a must see.
The BMW Museum in Munich is a sleek, architecturally stunning tribute to over 100 years of the Bavarian Motor Works brand, showcasing its evolution from aircraft engines to the iconic cars and motorcycles of today. The museum's unique, futuristic design complements the exhibits, which are meticulously curated to cover every aspect of the company's history, design philosophy, and motorsport heritage. Highlights include the stunning collection of vintage and concept cars, the powerful engine displays, and the legendary BMW Art Cars. The museum is conveniently located right next to the modern, free-to-enter BMW Welt, which features the latest models, creating a seamless and comprehensive day of exploring the history, present, and future of BMW innovation.
Really interesting museum, that is showing history of this brand. A lot of interesting cars and other artefacts. For me there was really interesting engine cut-outs, where You can see, how motor is operating. Most of descriptions is available in english language.

Technology museum
Museums
Huge technology museum with original artifacts & interactive energy, transport & astronomy displays.
Slide 1 of 8
The Deutsches Museum is an absolute must-visit in Munich! 🚀 A huge variety of fascinating exhibits, from historic machines to an incredible aviation collection. Many interactive displays you can actually touch and try, which makes it fun for both kids and adults. Inspiring, educational, and exciting — you can easily spend the whole day here without getting bored. Highly recommended! 👏
There was a lot of exhibits to see and it was nice to have listening stations throughout For English as well. There were some hands on experiences, I was hoping for some more and looking for something a bit more interactive. There was a very wide variety of things to see throughout a journey through history. Overall a nice experience.
It's a vast general museum, encompassing everything not covered in the art and antique museums. Currently half of it is under renovation, but the open part is big enough to keep you busy for a long time. I focused mainly on the air and space aspect, nice collection of vintage and more modern planes, some of the very first rockets including a V2, and a very nice floor on spaceships. I also enjoyed the section on coding. I checked out photography, printing and musical instruments before my time ran out. It was a solid 3 hours. Overall it is good, not necessarily a must-see if you are first time visitor to Munich pressed on time.
A wonderful place to visit with children. The museum offers a great experience, and the restaurant–café on the roof is definitely worth a stop. The river view at sunset is stunning — the sunlight shimmering on the water creates a beautiful scene. Don’t forget to check out the gift shop on your way out for some nice souvenirs.
The Deutsches Museum in Munich is an absolute gem for science and technology enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled hands-on learning experience. With its vast collection spanning aviation, engineering, physics, and even music instruments, the museum brilliantly bridges education and entertainment. The interactive exhibits—like the giant pendulum, working machinery demonstrations, and flight simulators—make complex concepts accessible and fun for visitors of all ages. The detailed historical displays, including early automobiles and replicas of famous scientific experiments, provide fascinating insights into humanity's technological progress. While the sheer size of the museum can be overwhelming, its well-organized sections and engaging presentations ensure an enriching visit. Whether you're a curious traveler or a dedicated science buff, the Deutsches Museum delivers both knowledge and inspiration in a truly immersive way.
Wow what an amazing place! There was so much you could go everyday for weeks or more to see it all and drink in all the information accessible to you. We had the city pass so access was quick. Thank you from Canada. 🇨🇦
They had everything there. From engines to aircrafts, nuclear physics to spacecrafts, electronics, medicinal technologies, old and new cameras, receent semiconductor technologies, bridges, pendulums, fighter jets, agriculture and husbandry & whatever your cup of tea is. It is a great museum with literally any type of science in it. It is definitely a must go and you would regret it if you didn't.
Deutsches Museum is not just an exhibit hall: it is a journey through how human curiosity, experimentation, and engineering have shaped the world. If you love science or tech—or want to challenge yourself to understand how many things work (from steam engines to quantum bits), this museum will reward you. Even if you’re only casually interested, the famous pieces (Z3, mining, astronomy, transport, etc.) are enough to make a visit memorable. Highly recommend it, and plan your time well. Bonus: Every Monday few free tickets are also offered. Don't forget to see the beautiful skyline of city with Isar river.
Allianz Arena

(83015)
Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Football arena home to Bayern Munich, with a museum & stadium tours, holding up to 75,000 fans.
Slide 1 of 8
An iconic stadium and a must-see for football fans! ⚽ The design is incredible especially when it’s lit up at night. The area is clean and well-organized, with easy access by metro. Even if there’s no match, the tour and museum are definitely worth it.
The FC Bayern stadium (Allianz Arena) has a very high capacity. The exterior design is modern and can change color at night. It houses both a Museum and an FC Bayern Store. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to join the Arena Tour, which is a real shame. The downside of this stadium is that there are very few nice photo spots outside, apart from taking pictures with the stadium itself, and if you come by U-Bahn, it's a very long and exhausting walk.
Wonderful arena and an amazing experience. My dad received a VIP tour and museum tickets for his 59th birthday. We were guided around the stadium and even taken to exclusive areas like the locker room and the tunnel where the players walk out before the match. The museum has absolutely everything, and the layout is beautifully done. I was also pleasantly surprised that the stadium shop is not overpriced at all. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. Even though I’m not a football fan myself, we went because of my father, and I actually felt sad to leave because I enjoyed it so much. Go Bayern München! 🫶🏻❤️⚽️
Bayern Munich's stadium is located 12 minutes from the city center by metro. The fans are the heart of the club, arriving early and enjoying the experience of a cold beer. The stadium's sound system is very high quality. I had a lot of fun watching and participating in the victory over FC Freiburg. Unsere FC Bayern Munchen gewinn mit 6 : 2, stadion was almost full 75 000 person was realy enjoyed this football atmosphere. Mia San Mia. 🥳🍀⚽🙏🇩🇪🏆
The group tour is great. To get to see all the history behind such a big club was a great experience. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit again whit the hopes of seeing a match. Overall it was cool and the best part is that I didn’t have to sell kidney to take the tour, it was really affordable. Definitely recommend checking it out.
We booked the English speaking tour with Franz, and he was very informative and engaging. There was plenty of Oporto take photos, and you could visit the change rooms, sit in the stands and on the substitutes bench. Afterwards we visited the museum which was very interactive. You could take a photo of yourself and have it appear on a scrolling wall of photos, and there was also the opportunity to take a photo with your favourite players. There are things for kids to do, such as building their own trophy with blocks, as well as a stadium with Lego. There is a small futsal pitch for them to play on, as well as climbing equipment. It’s definitely worth the visit for the whole family.
The wonderful place to visit. I highly recommend to join the guide tour because you can experience a very special introduction in the court. The one thing is, you can understand the space of stadium and also you can learn the history of the stadium.
Great stadium, truly impressive from the moment you walk in. The shop is huge, well-stocked, and full of cool merch for every type of fan. The museum is surprisingly rich with history, displaying iconic moments, trophies, and even a small cinema where you can sit and enjoy a short film about the club’s journey. The stadium tour itself is well-organized, informative, and gives you access to some amazing angles you don’t normally get to see. Staff throughout the entire experience were warm, helpful, and very professional. Highly recommended if you’re a football fan or simply appreciate great sporting culture and storytelling.
Nymphenburg Palace
6. Nymphenburg Palace

(37527)
Castle
Nature & Parks
A 200-hectare palace estate with rococo interiors, coach display & symmetrical baroque gardens.
Slide 1 of 8
The palace is truly amazing, stunning architecture and very elegant, this is evident when you approach along the water. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to enter the palace and just walked around the garden instead, absolutely stunning and very well maintained. There was no fee to enter the garden and it was very peaceful and a good place to relax and unwind and go for a pleasant stroll. You could easily spend a few hours here. Highly recommend this place for a visit when in Munich.
Here is a very impressive place, whether it's the beautiful Baroque architecture or the grand hall with its amazing ceiling frescoes. Although some of the interior decor might seem simple, the Marstallmuseum, which displays luxurious and magnificent carriages and sledges, especially those of King Ludwig II, is an unmissable highlight. Moreover, the area in front of the palace features a wide canal and pond, as well as a large park, which is perfect for strolling, taking photos, enjoying nature, and soaking up the very fresh and pleasant air.
Nicely maintained. The bus and tram stop are a bit away, 10 mins walk. Cycles are not allowed inside. Water is not not clean, lots of ducks and can spot different birds and deer sometimes. Good to visit in snow, Autumn and summer
Beautiful palace and garden / park. The park / garden is immense and would be a fantastic place to walk regularly. Taking the S Bahn from city center and entering through the park at the very southern tip on foot is what I recommend. You can also take a bus near the metro stop and get really close without a vehicle.
A splendid royal palace complex in the western suburbs of the city. Initially built as a summer residence for the rulers of Bavaria, the palace is open year-round to visitors for self-guided tours. There are actually 5 different buildings on the palace grounds that are open to the public: the main palace itself, the Marstallmuseum, and 3 smaller outbuildings. You can purchase a combination ticket for all 5 buildings at one price, or if you're short on time you can buy a ticket just for the palace itself. I feel you should allow at least 3 hours if you want to see everything. When I was there, the main palace required timed-entry tickets, but the other buildings did not. The main palace is stunning, with ornate sitting rooms, exquisitely decorated bedrooms, and an elegant great hall. Tours are self-guided, but there are detailed signs in each room (in both German and English). I loved being able to walk around at my own pace. An audio tour was available, but I felt the signs went into so much detail that I didn't need the audio guide. I highly recommend visiting the Marstallmuseum while you're here. It contains many interesting objects used by the royal family, including magnificent stagecoaches and an impressive porcelain collection. The palace grounds also feature Schlosspark Nymphenburg, a huge public park with manicured flowerbeds, green meadows, and wooded areas. You could easily spend an entire day exploring all that Nymphenburg has to offer! This was one of my favorite activities in Munich. If you interested in Bavarian history and culture, this is a must-do!
This is my first time here, and I'm very impressed with the structure and the property itself. It has a large, well-planned garden. When it's not crowded, it's a very relaxing and peaceful place. With a small grove, pools, and walking paths, it promises a beautiful Munich experience worth your time.
Stunning palace and gardens. Beautiful to visit in the autumn. Entry into the gardens is free. €10 for entry into the palace which is quite small and not quite worth it for €10. Other castles on property closed during colder months.
The castle looks really cool! I am glad that many bird types (geese for example) have a huge living space here thanks to the castle. The grass did not look very well maintained because you could see a lot of holes in the grass, which is because of the animals of course but yeah I just thought it looked a bit off. We had a very nice visit though!

Motor company's futuristic distribution center & exhibition hall, with a restaurant & event space.
Slide 1 of 8
We visited BMW Welt this past week when we were in Munich. It is free to enter and explore. What an amazing experience. It is free to enter. It serves as a multifunctional exhibition, delivery, and event center. It is located across the street from the BMW HQ and Museum and next to the Olympic Park in Munich. To me it is a prime example of customer Experience. We watched people drive off in their new BMW. What a tremendous feeling. There are plenty of car exhibits from BMW, Mini, Motorcycles, Rolls Royce. There is a huge BMW shop and plenty of places to get something to eat. BMW really does it right with BMW Welt. Never seen anything like it in my life. Just spectacular. We loved our visit.
Impressive place for any car lover! 🚗 The architecture is stunning and you can see BMW’s latest models up close. There’s also a nice mix of history and innovation, plus a few great photo spots. Easy to reach by metro and worth a visit even if you’re not a hardcore BMW fan.
BMW Welt is nothing short of a magical destination for anyone who loves the BMW brand. Whether you’re a lifelong admirer of German engineering or simply curious about one of the world’s most iconic automotive manufacturers, this place delivers an unforgettable experience from the moment you walk in. The architecture alone is worth the visit. The building is a stunning example of modern design, with sweeping lines, vast open spaces, and a futuristic feel that perfectly complements the precision and innovation BMW is known for. Even before you explore the exhibits, the atmosphere sets the tone for an immersive and inspiring visit. Inside, BMW Welt offers a variety of interactive displays and hands-on experiences that allow visitors to get up close with the latest models and technologies. Whether you’re exploring the design elements of a new vehicle or experimenting with interactive installations, there’s plenty to keep both casual visitors and passionate fans engaged. One of the most unique aspects of BMW Welt is the option for European Delivery. There’s something truly special about collecting your brand-new BMW right here, in the heart of Munich, surrounded by the heritage of the brand. The delivery experience is smooth, memorable, and designed to make you feel like part of the BMW family. Before leaving, it’s worth stopping by the BMW Shop, which offers a wide range of high-quality BMW memorabilia. From apparel to scale models, there’s something for every type of enthusiast. Another convenience is that BMW Welt is open until midnight, giving visitors plenty of flexibility to explore at their own pace. Overall, BMW Welt is an impressive blend of art, engineering, and brand culture—a must-see destination for BMW fans and automotive lovers alike.
BMW Welt, Munich is an absolute must-visit, whether you’re a die-hard car enthusiast or just someone who appreciates beautiful architecture, technology, and design. As a car fan, stepping into BMW Welt feels like entering automotive heaven. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by stunning displays of BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce models, each showcased under sleek lighting that makes them look even more spectacular. You can sit inside the cars, explore the interiors, feel the craftsmanship, and even hop onto your favourite BMW motorcycles for a quick photo or to experience the seating comfort. There are often interactive screens and cutaway models that show how the engines and technology work, making it both exciting and educational. The building itself is an experience, an architectural masterpiece with wide open spaces, glass walls, and flowing metal structures that give it a futuristic feel. The whole place is designed with precision and luxury, perfectly reflecting BMW’s brand. Even if you’re not into cars, you’ll find yourself admiring how beautiful and thoughtfully designed everything is. For those who appreciate experiences more than engines, there’s plenty to enjoy too. The BMW Café and restaurant offer great food and desserts with a view of the stunning showroom floor. You can also visit the BMW Museum just across the street, which takes you through the brand’s rich history, from vintage classics to the latest electric innovations. There’s also a gift shop with high-quality BMW merchandise, perfect for souvenirs or gifts. Whether you spend 30 minutes or 3 hours, BMW Welt leaves an impression. It’s not just about cars, it’s about design, innovation, and German engineering at its finest. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Munich. Even if you’re not a car lover, you’ll walk out with a new appreciation for the art of automobiles. 🚗✨
Easy to get to with affordable on-site parking underneath. Very cool, modern building design inside and out. A good selection of cars to look at as well, but no replacement for the proper BMW museum. But of course you should plan to spend some time here anyways as you have to walk through to get to the full museum anyways. I did not get any food, but there were several restaurants inside which all looked good. Of course the scenery inside is great too!
This is a free museum/interactive showroom Went here for a quick visit. We enjoyed because there is option to get in vehicles, touch fully functional vehicle. Many learning opportunities too in terms of engineering and some history and insight on the direction of BMW. You'd have to be an automotive enthusiast or a big fan of BMW to really appreciate how great this place is
BMW Welt: You can only examine the autos you regularly see on the street!! The others speazial autos are locked. Only you can look! All the IX and M5 are too locked ! The attendants won't open them when you auch ask. Appointments are apparently required. !! In short, you can only view the vehicles from the outside. The attendants don't even introduce them. If I looked very rich and cool, maybe I would have a chance. :)) It's a complete disappointment. You could inspect many more BMWs if you went to a standard BMW dealership.! or from the photos I added :)) it's the same anyway. :))
amazing that all of this is available to see for free! although definitely add the museum onto your trip as well, even if it costs extra! the cars are absolutely stunning, and you're even able to sit in some of them! the cafe was expensive, but my pistachio croissant was a delicious breakfast.

Space of remembrance
Sights & Landmarks
Nazi concentration camp memorial & museum, with photographs, documents & reconstructed cell blocks.
Slide 1 of 8
A must visit for all who wants to know more about the War and a reminder to us living about what the prisoners went through so that we don't allow history like this to repeat itself. The only concentration camp to be functional during the entire 12 years reign of the Nazi party from 1933 to 1945. Also the first concentration camp to be built and was the training and reeducation place of the SS (Nazi army) for all other concentration camps in Europe.
It feels more like an exhibition than a museum—quite disappointing, to be honest. It should convey the horror of what took place there, but it doesn't. The fact that there are regular houses just behind the fence, where people live, blew my mind. What goes through people's heads to make it okay for them to have a view of a death camp from their window?
Was easy to get here from the Central Station Hbf in Munich. Take the S2 train to Bahnhof, Dachau, then take a transfer to 726 bus. Will take you there and back. The visitation center has your free toilette, Cafe with food, drinks, and warm coffee and hot chocolate which was well needed for this cold day. The people at the visitor center was nice and spoke English well. Rental an audio tour guide that was useful, but honestly I enjoyed reading all the materials and posters there. The camp was amazing, and everyone was respectful there. Everyone was speaking low for respect, similar to 911 Memorial Museum in NY.
We went with a guided tour with Radius Tours. From Munich, we traveled by train and bus to get to the memorial site. We were with 'German Mark' ...not to be confused with the other Mark 😉 and he provided a lot of insight to the history and development of this memorial site. We came to Munich for Oktoberfest and spent the following morning here. It was sobering, though provoking, impactful, and necessary. You could easily spend the majority of the day here. They do provide self guided audio tours. Someone that we met at our hotel did the audio tour and enjoyed the content. You get a lot of content in the various areas and it's great to see that they are utilizing the space to remember what happened there. It was a very powerful experience.
Absolutely incredibly powerful place to visit. It’s very well presented and managed - combination of extensive museum exhibits with text (multiple languages), artifacts, real life stories, videos, and pictures. Be sure to read as much as possible as you tour. There are memorials and public art throughout the site that represent many different backgrounds of the victims impacted. Careful reconstruction has been done on a few buildings, some original buildings remain, and much of the open ground is there from where original buildings once stood. We spent nearly 4.5 hours there and could have easily spent longer as learned lots. Audio guides in different languages are available.
Worth going and worth checking it out for lots of reasons. It has a canteen for lunch, a book shop, a Carpark. You can follow guided tour by the centre, just head to the reception to join the tour (think is 3 euro per person) when you get there, this can’t be booked online. There are one at 11am and one at 1pm I think (in English). There are also some in German. You can walk into a small gas chamber used for testing poison on people, and see the crematorium used to burn the bodies. Scary but real. All in front of your eyes. And many more scary details. A lesson not to be missed and always be remembered. The visit is free if you don’t follow the tour. You can do the visit using audio guide too.
There are no words to describe the emotions you get from visiting this site! It's definitely a must while in Munich. We went as part of a tour, which I highly recommend as you learn so much from the guide! This was a lifetime experience for sure!
We had a short trip to the memorial site. It is impressive although not many of the original elements are left. The space and the prison part gives you that feeling of hopelessness. It is humbling and creates awareness on the horrors man can inflict on others and how much can one indure. We should be grateful that we don't know any of it.

Slide 1 of 8
Spent five hours in this amazing museum. Saw the royal palace, Treasury and Theatre. You get immersed in the atmosphere and history of Bavarian royalty. The best museums leave you wanting to learn much more about the characters and the ages mentioned. No trip to Germany can be complete without a visit to the Residenz.
Online ticketing is very convenient. Large bags need to be stored before entry. With your ticket, you can get a free audio guide, which makes it especially interesting to listen to explanations in your own language. The narration is very detailed, covering the historical stories of the time. I highly recommend visiting if you’re interested in history, culture, or artifacts. If you listen to every section of the audio guide, you could easily spend half a day there. The entire palace is huge, so make sure to allow plenty of time for a relaxed visit.
Beautiful royal palace filled with history and art. The halls and decorations are stunning, especially the Antiquarium and Treasury. Well organized; worth spending 1–2 hours. Great location near Marienplatz; perfect for history lovers. The level of detail in the craftsmanship is unbelievable. Every room, wall, and ceiling shows royal elegance and history. The Antiquarium is breathtaking; truly one of Munich’s must-see landmarks.
Good place to visit on a Sunday since all the shops are closed. You can buy your ticket at the counter. The Residenz is huge and take more than 2 hours to complete. They provide free audio guides and many seats along the tour. You can finish the Treasury in an hour and the Theatre in 5min.
The online ticketing system is super convenient. Keep in mind that large bags need to be stored before you enter. With your ticket, you get access to a free audio guide, which adds a lot of value, especially since you can listen to detailed explanations in your preferred language. The narration is thorough and offers deep insights into the historical context of the artifacts. If you’re into history, culture, or antiques, I highly recommend a visit. If you take the time to listen to all the sections of the audio guide, you could easily spend several hours there. The palace is vast, so be sure to allocate enough time for a relaxed and thorough visit.
Bought tickets online ahead of time which proved helpful! There is an audio guide that they provide but there are SO MANY rooms and the audio guide talks for so long—we eventually abandoned. That said, the Residence is MASSIVE and so so many of the rooms are available for viewing. Incredibly lavish and opulent. We really enjoyed! Side note, they are very serious about not letting people in after an hour before closing. We saw a lot of people turned away and lectured as we were leaving! Plan accordingly!
Only visit the museum itself.It already takes 2 hours. The ticket price is 10 Euro.They offer single ticket and combined tickets which you can visit the treasury and theatre.The theatre only opens from 2-6pm. The museum is very spacious and have lots of exhibitions.
Lots of steps & walking. Good historical museum, some excellent restoration after WWII bombings, but much sadly lost. Lighting could be improved. Reasonable combo ticket! Quiet inside despite protest outside. Free tour headphones. Wonderful staff. Very clean everywhere.

A Fantastic Day at Olympiapark München! Visiting Olympiapark München was an unforgettable experience! The park is not only beautifully maintained but also full of life and history. We truly enjoyed walking through the spacious grounds, taking in the unique architecture of the Olympic facilities and the stunning lake views. And clearly loved by the locals for exercise and relaxation. The whole place has such a vibrant yet peaceful atmosphere, making it perfect for both sightseeing and simply enjoying nature. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Munich! 🌟
Absolutely beautiful place. Very well maintained. The sea world is good but not worth the high price tag it carries. Far more beautiful aquariums exist at a much lesser price. The real attraction lies in the pond side benches behind the sea world. Tranquil, pretty and a great place to just sit by and catch your thoughts.
A beautiful, large park with a few big halls offering excellent opportunities for swimming and other sport activities and occasional concerts. There are also a nice lake, a hill offering a splendid view of the park and the city, plenty of paths for walking, jogging and riding a bike in the park. A prominent sign of the park is it's high Olympic tower. A great place for spare time, making sport and other activities and simply relaxing. Easy to reach by subway and some buses.
★★★★★ A Fantastic Day Out at Olympiapark München! What an absolutely delightful experience we had exploring Olympiapark München! It's so much more than just a park; it's a vibrant, beautifully maintained space. We enjoyed a very pleasant walk through the expansive grounds, admiring the unique architecture of the Olympic facilities. The Olympic pool was particularly amazing – it looked so inviting, and it seemed like people were enjoying it for exercise, which is fantastic to see! As we strolled, we could hear a music festival playing in the distance, which created a really great atmosphere for our walk. The landscape design throughout the park is simply stunning, making it a truly picturesque place to spend time. Parking was easy to find, though it is paid, it's definitely worth it for the convenience and access to such a wonderful place. We highly recommend a visit to Olympiapark – it's a memorable highlight in Munich!
A huge and spacious park near the residential area. Many people running or cycling around the park. You can go to the top to see the view of the city. BMW building just next to it.
Beautiful and peaceful park 🌿 A perfect place to relax, take a walk, or just enjoy the scenery. The area is spacious, clean, and calm — a great spot to unwind in the city.
A nice place for the concert, event with a bit weird acoustics. We were there multiple times for different events and every one sounded different. A good thing is there's plenty of space, a variety of different bars and snacks, quite comfortable seats and always great atmosphere. The last event we were at was The Offspring concert and it was great, thanks!
A beautiful place to walk, breathe, relax, and get away from the city. It also offers great opportunities for those interested in architecture. I recommend using public transportation.

Slide 1 of 8
Exceptionally beautiful Gothic style building in the heart of Munich. Every year in May they open up to visitors (or you can go on a guided tour). Highly recommend as the inside is fantastic. Stained glass throughout, beautiful library, and fun architecture all around.
City Hall (Rathaus) is an impressive neo-gothic building in the heart of Old Town. The facade is most famous for the glockenspiel, which sings and dances every day at 11:00 and 12:00 (and 17:00 in the summer). The inner courtyard is open to the public and features a restaurant and public restrooms. Guided tours of the inside are available. I was allowed to free roam inside, but I think that might only happen in May. There is also an observation deck at the top of the tower. The interior is an intriguing maze of stairs, corridors, and stained glass. The inside is worth a visit for the architecture alone.
Munich’s New Town Hall dominates Marienplatz with its dramatic neo-Gothic façade, soaring tower, and wealth of detail that makes you want to stare up until your neck protests. Built between 1867 and 1909 by architect Georg von Hauberrisser, it replaced the cramped Old Town Hall and quickly became the city’s political and symbolic heart. The 85-meter tower is home to the famous Glockenspiel, which still draws crowds daily to watch figures reenact 16th-century Bavarian stories. The exterior is packed with statues, floral balconies, and spires that look medieval but are purely 19th-century romanticism. Inside, the building still houses the city government, but visitors can ride the elevator up the tower for sweeping views across Munich. During WWII, much of the city center was destroyed, yet the Neues Rathaus was repaired and restored, preserving its role as a backdrop for everything from Christmas markets to championship celebrations for FC Bayern.
The town hall has so many cute stores to checkout and a pretty good scenery in any direction you walk! The designs on the buildings are so unique and give that vintage and regal look to the area. If you’re in München, definitely check this cute area out
My most favorite place in Munich! I love the view from the square at this building, all the small details of the building itself, and the wow effect that you get when you walk through the building and then turn around.
⭐ New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus), Munich A Neo-Gothic icon at Marienplatz that’s more than government HQ—it’s the heartbeat of Munich! Spanning nearly 100 m, crowned by an 85 m tower, its ornate façade and Gothic spires make it a city landmark. Every day the Glockenspiel enacts historic tales at 11 AM, 12 PM (plus 5 PM in summer), with charming figures, 43 bells, and a chirping rooster. Hop the lift to the viewing gallery for sweeping city views. Inside, the Law Library dazzles with gilded staircases, and guided tours unlock grand chambers. During celebrations, FC Bayern stars appear on the balcony, and the cozy Ratskeller awaits below. #Munich #NeuesRathaus #Glockenspiel #Panorama #History
Style: The building is characterized by its stunning Gothic Revival architecture, featuring intricate stonework, spires, and numerous decorative elements. Main Tower: The tower reaches a height of 85 meters (278 feet) and is adorned with a clock that has become a central feature of Marienplatz. The tower houses the famous Glockenspiel, which features figurines that reenact historical events, delighting visitors with its chimes and animated scenes.
Stunning building with incredible architecture! The Glockenspiel show is a must-see. Perfect spot to start exploring Munich’s old town.

Well-known alpine destination with a ski resort, glaciers & cable car rides offering scenic views.
Slide 1 of 8
The most beautiful cable car ride of my life, and the view… indescribable. This is something everyone should see.😍😍 We went up by cable car and came back down with the cogwheel train, which after a while offered a beautiful view of the lake, the mountains, and the surroundings. Also a must-see.😊
Visited in the autumn season — no snow, but the view was absolutely stunning! 🍁 The surrounding mountains and lakes looked breathtaking in golden shades. The cable car ride was smooth and offered amazing panoramic views. Even without snow, Zugspitze felt peaceful and majestic.
Very cool, highly recommend even if the mountain is covered in clouds up top. If that’s the case it would be nice if the ticket was discounted, but rain or shine it’s 75€ per person. There’s a restaurant & bar up there as well
Beautiful view, great experience as tourists. there is another cable that takes you to the skiing part it is on the other side of the mountain. car park just outside the cable station. restaurants and shop accessible restrooms very clean. there are 2 options to get up/down to Zugspitze, cable or train. it is 75€ 2 ways on the cable I felt terrible pressure going down so mabe it is better to take the train down.
Great place to visit if you want to experience high altitudes without actual climbing. Fast transfer by the cablecar, or more slow ascent by cogwheel train. The building at the summit has multiple floors and observation desks, you can cross to the Austrian side. There are restaurants on both sides. You can also take another cable car to the other side and play in the snow, even in August. Breathtaking views. Go early in the day to beat the clouds. There is also a small church. The bravest ones can climb the actual summit with the cross. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours and bring a sweater. Even in August.
The Zugspitze is the largest mountain of the Germany situated in the range of Alps Mountain, located on the scenic border between Germany and Austria, is an unforgettable experience and a must do especially for the fully snow covered peak and the thrill of the ascent. I highly recommend the cable car over the cogwheel train for the most breathtaking views, though both are covered in the approximately €75 combined ticket (which includes skiing access). We started by riding straight to the summit for a stunning, almost indescribable panorama, witnessing the sunset from the peak was a truly magical moment. We then descended to the lower Zugspitzplatt where the vast snow fields feel like a different universe perfect for playing in the snow and skiing. The ample parking, the presence of helpful mountain volunteers, and the organized operation make it a safe and enjoyable trip. Tip: Be sure to wear appropriate gear, especially warmers and gloves, and note that the last descent is strictly enforced, so plan to be back on the train or cable car around 4:30 PM. A truly wonderful and perfect day trip!
You can take the train to the mountain, from there you can take a cable car to the top. This was one of the greatest experiences we had it was so much fun going to the top. When you reach the top there’s snow everywhere and free sleds you can take and have some fun like you were a child. It’s really beautiful and worth every cent. There’s a restaurant on the top where you can enjoy a beer the good was also great
Zugspitze was amazing! The views were absolutely stunning and the mountain lounge was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. The cheesecake wasn’t the best, but honestly, the view made up for it.

Munich is a masterpiece of authentic architecture. Once you step into the downtown area, all you need to do is walk—every corner unveils a different era, a unique style, a story carved in stone. Wander freely, let the city guide you. Step into charming old buildings, grand halls, and cozy hidden gems. And whatever you do, don’t miss St. Peter’s Church. It’s a striking symbol of German craftsmanship, where towering statues and intricate details leave a lasting impression.
St Peter is an impressive Catholic church in the center of Old Town. The building is usually open daily to tourists. They also have an observation deck at the top of the bell tower. The church is free to enter, and tower admission was only €5 when I visited. Tower tickets can be purchased at the base of the tower as walk-up only (no reservations accepted unless you want a night tour). Keep in mind there are 306 steps to the top of the tower, but the view is worth the climb. On your way up, you can see the massive bells. At the top, you get wonderful views of Marienplatz and all of Old Town. The church nave itself features ornate decoration with accents of pink and gold on white, making it a peaceful space of reflection. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in architecture, history, or great city views.
Beautiful church on the inside. Free to enter for everyone. Just please, like any other church or similar structures, be respectful and observe silence. Bonus is a climb to the top of the bell tower which offers impressive views around Altmarkt including the Rathaus. The climb is steep and can be challenging but very doable, with a few stops to pause. It was not so tight like many old bell towers.
St. Peter’s Church is one of Munich’s most beautiful and historic landmarks; its elegant interior, detailed artwork, and peaceful atmosphere make it a wonderful place to pause and appreciate the city’s rich heritage. The combination of Gothic and Baroque elements gives the church a timeless charm that reflects Munich’s spiritual and cultural depth.
Stunning church in Munich. It is free to enter but costs to climb the tower. St. Peter is the oldest parish church in Munich. It dates back to the 8th to 12th century. It was originally built as a Romanesque church and later rebuilt in Gothic style. The architecture is just stunning as well as all the decoration inside the church. The high altar and sculptures are beautiful. The church has eight bells and four of them pre-date 1400. This is a must visit in Munich! We loved our visit.
Climbed 30mins of stairs for this giew with 5 euro ticket bought at entrance. Not regret, but i’d say if im 5 years old older there is no way i can do this. Stunning 360 view in munich and can hear the church bell sound. Nice! Worth it!
A steep climb to the top, but the panoramic views of Marienplatz and the entire city are absolutely worth the effort. It's a fantastic way to get your bearings in Munich.
St. Peter’s Church in Munich—the city’s oldest parish church. Here’s what makes it special: ⛪ History & Background First mentioned in the 12th century, before Munich was officially founded in 1158. Dedicated to St. Peter, the patron saint of Munich. Rebuilt and renovated many times, as it was damaged by fires and WWII bombings. 🎨 Architecture & Art A mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Rococo styles due to centuries of rebuilding. Interior highlights include: A beautiful high altar with St. Peter’s figure. Rich frescoes and altars from the 17th–18th centuries. The Schrenk Altar (15th century), one of Munich’s artistic treasures. 🗼 The Tower (Alter Peter) The tower is the highlight—about 91 meters tall. You can climb over 300 steps to the top. Offers one of the best panoramic views of Munich: you see Marienplatz, the Frauenkirche domes, the Alps on clear days, and the whole city’s rooftops. 📍 Location Right next to Marienplatz, so you can easily combine it with Heilig-Geist-Kirche and Viktualienmarkt. ✨ Tip: Go up just before sunset—the view with golden light over Munich’s red rooftops is breathtaking.

My wife and I found this amazing market by chance, we were just walking and exploring the city, then we found ourselves in the middle of this vivid place. Fruits, vegetables, poultry, flowers and many many more interesting things you can find here.
It’s a small area with a lot of different stores. There are souvenirs, fruits, food, beer, honey, and other things. There is an open sitting area in the middle is that square(?) and you can have some beer and snacks there. The price is very fair and quality is great. It’s worth visiting if you are in the city center.
The best food market in Munich city to indulge in the German cuisine. They serve all the varieties of German food and they serve the best beer. You do not need prior reservations to eat here but during the lunch hours it will be tricky to find a table.
So much to see and eat! It’s too bad we had lunch already and could stuff ourselves! It is a good place to hang out and try some of the street food. Be sure to check out some of the handmade items
Viktualienmarkt is one of the best places in Munich to experience local food and atmosphere; colorful stalls, fresh produce, bakeries, cheese shops and small restaurants all in one place. It is a perfect stop for a quick snack, breakfast or lunch. We walked around, tasted a few things and enjoyed the lively vibe. If the weather is nice, sit at the beer garden in the middle and enjoy a cold drink while people watching. Highly recommended.
A must-visit in Munich: discover local Bavarian specialties, excellent beer in the central beer garden, and a vibrant market atmosphere full of colour and flavour. Also perfect for a relaxed breakfast in the city
Incredible outdoor market… over 200 years and going strong. There are flower, fruit and vegetable vendors, along with prepared food and drink stalls. There’s also a Biergarten. Closed Sunday. 8a to 8P during summer.
Viktualienmarkt, Munich The Viktualienmarkt isn't just a market; it's a bustling, open-air food hall and one of Munich’s best experiences. If you are looking for high-quality food at a genuinely good price, this is the place to be. The variety here is incredible. You can wander through stalls offering everything from artisan cheese and perfectly cured meats to fresh produce, stunning baklava, chocolates, and strong Bavarian coffee. Whether you need a quick lunch or unique ingredients, the options are endless. You can easily piece together a fantastic, affordable meal—grabbing a great sausage, a glass of local wine or beer, and finishing it off with some amazing dessert. It truly is a must-visit, offering a vibrant, delicious taste of Munich life that won't break the bank. Forget the overpriced tourist traps; come to the Viktualienmarkt for a delicious, authentic experience!

This lake which is around 2 hours from Munich is beautiful and worth to pay visit during the summers. The water here is very clear and provides a clear reflection which makes this place even more picturesque between the magnificent mountains surrounding the National Park. Through boat ride only you can travel inside the lake and explore various sceneic routes, it costs only 22 Euros to and fro.
The nature around the lake is spectacular. It is a must-see place with beautiful landscapes and a great choice for a romantic trip. You can take a boat ride and live a dream!
Königssee is stunning! Clear emerald water, surrounded by mountains – a true paradise. The boat ride and echo experience are unforgettable, and St. Bartholomä looks like a postcard. Best to go early to avoid crowds.
One of the most beautiful lakes in Germany! The emerald water and mountain views are just breathtaking. You can take a boat trip, walk along the shore, or just relax and enjoy the scenery. Everything is very well organized with good facilities and parking nearby. A must-see if you’re in Bavaria! 🚤🌲💚
The most unforgettable palce in Germany. I visited this place in October. You can take boat and hearing the horn sounds while taking the boat to explore the lake view.
This was our second visit to Königssee after eight years – and the lake still amazes us just as much ☺️ The boat ride is a fantastic experience – maybe not the cheapest, but definitely worth it. On the way, the guide explains everything in both German and English, and one of the highlights is when they play the trumpet and the sound echoes back beautifully from the mountains – a truly unique moment. We recommend stopping at St. Bartholomä, and then continuing by boat to Salet, from where you can walk to Obersee and further to Röthbachfall, Germany’s highest waterfall. The scenery along the way is absolutely stunning – Königssee is one of those places you’ll always want to return to.
No doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Bavaria, a boat ride across the lake and lunch on the far side. The location is extremely popular, the parking area alone is huge, I imagine it serves other activity points as well. Very touristy on the approach to the ferry jetties, loads of souvenir shops and restaurants/ food outlets. Around lunchtime boats leave every five minutes, we had no waiting time, we bought a ticket and hopped straight onto the next ferry. Everything was highly efficient. Loved it.
I love this lake, a lake for Kings with breathtaking view, clear water, majestic landscape and sustainable tourism development,… it is worthy to explore and immerse yourself in nature.

Compact 1700s church known for its lavish, baroque interior swathed in gold leaf, frescoes & stucco.
Slide 1 of 8
A beautiful church full of architecture and paintings. Every corner is filled with works of art. What I learned more is that it was built by two brothers for their private needs and later opened to the public. A small church with indescribable beauty, very beautiful
The Asamkirche in Munich, officially known as St. Johann Nepomuk, is an absolute masterpiece of late Baroque and Rococo architecture, and a truly awe-inspiring experience for anyone who steps inside. Built by the Asam brothers (Egim Quirin Asam and Cosmas Damian Asam) as their private church and residence, it's a testament to their artistic genius and vision. ​What makes it so captivating is the sheer density and exuberance of its decoration. Every inch is adorned with frescoes, stucco, sculpture, and gilding, creating a stunning visual symphony. The way the light filters in, illuminating the intricate details, is breathtaking. You'll find yourself constantly discovering new elements and perspectives. One minor point for some might be that the intensity of the decoration could feel overwhelming if you prefer more minimalist aesthetics, but for lovers of Baroque art, it's a dream come true. It's also often quite crowded, given its popularity, so be prepared for that. Overall, the Asamkirche is more than just a church; it's a complete work of art and a truly unforgettable highlight of any visit to Munich. It's a powerful expression of faith and artistic passion, and I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.
We visited this church in February 2025 with my friend. We had the chance to go inside and even sit for a few minutes to take a closer look. The church was smaller than I expected, but the craftsmanship was incredible, the architecture had so many details that you could notice something new at every glance. It was truly impressive. I highly recommend visiting it in person if you get the chance. It’s also conveniently located and easy to find.
A small but beautifully ornate private church, filled with golden details that make it stand out even more. Unfortunately, when I arrived, the inner area was closed off by a gate, so I couldn’t go inside to see the details — but even from a distance, it looked stunning. The carvings, paintings, and decorations make you want to take a closer look. Located on a lively street, it’s worth taking a moment to stop by if you’re passing through.
I purchased tickets for a Spanish guitar and Bach concert at Asamkirche for our group in advanced, and it was an incredible experience. The acoustics were amazing, and we truly enjoyed both the music and the beauty of the church. The interior is stunning with incredible details; definitely a must-see in Munich. I only wish they had dimmed the lights a bit during the concert to create a more concert-like atmosphere.
Gorgeous, smaller town Roman Catholic Baroque Church oen to the public. Sumptuous display of devoted reverance during the Baroque era. The realistic paintings and sculptures are modified, so the view from below seems real. Everywhere is embellished with reminders of messages of how to get to heaven and what heaven looks like. Breathtaking. I loved the photo of the crypt in the front. There are crystals below. Worth your while.in sacred space
Breathtaking Concert in a Baroque Masterpiece This church is a feast for the eyes, a true Baroque masterpiece. The interior is absolutely stunning, with intricate marble work, countless detailed statues, and gold leafing that seems to cover every surface. It's a truly "over the top" but incredibly artistic space. We attended the 60-minute concert featuring a Spanish guitar and the church organ, and it was a magical experience. The acoustics are phenomenal, and the combination of the two instruments was beautifully done. It's clear that the award-winning musicians are masters of their craft. The concert is held twice a week, and it’s a must-see. So glad we didn't miss this—it was the perfect way to appreciate the church's beauty in a new and unforgettable way.
The Asamkirche church is a breathtaking example of Rococo architecture. The interior is absolutely stunning, with every detail meticulously crafted. Though the church is small, its intricate designs and ornate decorations are truly awe-inspiring. It can get noisy with tourists, which can be distracting for those who are there to pray. Despite this, it's a worthwhile visit, especially since admission is free.
