Nearby Munich Airport

Picking up your car from Munich Airport means you can head straight into the city via the A9. Here you can head to any of Munich's fascinating historical sites, such as St Peter's Church, and take in some nature in the English Garden. There's also a wonderful mix of food to enjoy and plenty of shopping opportunities.

Longer drives

If you don't mind being in a car for a couple of hours, then it is well worth the journey to Neuschwanstein Castle. You might recognise this impressive hilltop castle from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but it offers a lot more than that. Fans of fairy tales should definitely visit this location and spend a day exploring.

Eating and drinking

Munich is definitely the place to go for food lovers as it is a haven of traditional German dishes. From apfelstrudel to delicious beer, there's no end of food and drink for you to try. Munich is particularly famous for its bagels with sausage, which are the perfect light lunch or snack throughout the day. With numerous cafes, restaurants and street food vendors, you'll never go hungry.

Things to do

When staying in the city, a visit to the central square is a must. Marienplatz has been the main square of Munich since the city was founded and is always a hive of activity, as well as a great historical landmark. Close to the beautiful New Town Hall and lined with shops and cafes, this is the ideal place to begin your exploration.

Sightseeing

There are plenty of attractions worth seeing in Munich, but you really must stop off at the Cuvillies Theatre. This decadent building is stunning whether you're watching a show or not, and has a full history as well as amazing design.

However, the most beautiful building in Munich is arguably St Michael's Church, which was completed back in 1597. It is simply stunning both inside and out, making for an atmospheric attraction.
