Munich itineraries

Old Town and Beer in a Day

Open with a Schmalznudel, catch the 11:00 Glockenspiel, walk through the Residenz and finish with the river surfers in the English Garden. The most Munich you can fit into a single first day.

Old Town, Palace and BMW

Day one is the old town and the museum quarter; day two takes the tram out to Nymphenburg, then BMW and the Olympic Park. Stay at the Platzl next to the Hofbräuhaus and the beer hall is a one-minute stumble home.

History, Castle, Stadium

Dachau and the Deutsches Museum on day one, Neuschwanstein on day two, the old town and the Allianz Arena on day three. Sleep north of the main station, where every train and S-Bahn starts.
