Things To Do in Munich

Munich, Germany, is one of those cities which seems ripped from a fairy tale. Charming architecture dominates the streets, castles perch in the distance, and ages-old folklore is just as relevant as modern amenities. Want to spend some time discovering the top sights? Pick up a Munich map, and let us help you put together an unforgettable itinerary.

This gorgeous region is home to a variety of stately places and ornate castles, and one of the best things to do in Munich is spend an afternoon exploring the majesty. Start your Munich excursions with a trip to the Schloss Nymphenburg palace and museums, and then head to the Residenz for a look at its castle, halls, and galleries. You can even venture beyond the city’s borders to regal sights like the Schloss Dachau — several Munich tours can get you to the area — but you’ll find plenty of must see tourist attractions in Munich itself.

If you’d rather spend your time browsing art collections, check out the city’s network of museums. Munich was once the art centre of Germany, so you’ll discover several places to view a world of masterpieces. Museum Brandhorst is home to an exciting array of modern art, the Glyptothek focuses on Greek sculpture, and Pinakotheken is made up of three museums dedicated to works ranging from the 15th to 20th centuries.

Of course, Munich is so charming, you’ll have just as much fun simply strolling the local streets. Residents and travelers alike refer to the city as Toytown due to its quaint atmosphere and clean aesthetic, and you’ll find examples of this character in nearly each of its neighborhoods. Schwabing is one of the top spots to browse boutiques and sample the regional cuisine, and Maxvorstadt is a tree-lined university district that features several cultural Munich activities. No matter where you go, you’ll find something to grab your attention. That’s the magic of Munich.
