Multi-Day Trips in Munich

Explore Bavaria’s vibrant capital over several days and immerse yourself in its rich history, culture, and gastronomy. Here’s a suggested itinerary for your multi-day trip to Munich:

Day 1: City Center & Marienplatz

Start your journey by exploring the heart of Munich – the city center. Wander around the bustling Marienplatz, home to the New Town Hall (Neus Rathaus), the Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus), and the famous Glockenspiel, which chimes daily at 11 a.m., noon, and 5 p.m.

Don’t miss the Viktualienmarkt, one of Munich’s oldest markets, where you can find fresh produce, local specialties, and delicious street food.

Day 2: Nymphenburg Palace & English Garden

Spend your second day visiting the Nymphenburg Palace and the stunning English Garden.

The Baroque-style Nymphenburg Palace was once a summer residence for Bavarian rulers. Stroll through its beautiful gardens, admire the palace architecture, and visit the Museum of Man and Nature inside.

Next, head to the expansive English Garden, one of the world’s largest urban parks. Relax by the Chinese Tower (Chinesischer Turm), rent a bike, or take a leisurely walk through this green oasis.

Day 3: Museums & Surroundings

Munich is a city rich in culture and history. Spend your third day exploring some of its world-class museums:

• Deutsches Museum: The largest science and technology museum in the world, offering an exciting look into innovations throughout history.
• Alte Pinakothek, Neue Pinakothek, & Pinakothek der Moderne: Three art museums housing an extensive collection of works from various periods, including the likes of Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Monet, Picasso, and Warhol.
• BMW Welt & Museum: For car enthusiasts, a visit to BMW’s unique complex showcasing automotive history and innovation is a must.

Day 4: Olympia Park & Olympic Stadium

On your fourth day, explore the remnants of Munich’s Olympic past at Olympiapark and the iconic Olympic Stadium. Climb the tower for panoramic views over the city, or watch a Bayern München soccer game (if the schedule allows).

Day 5: Day Trip to Neuschwanstein Castle

On your last day, take a day trip to fairytale-like Neuschwanstein Castle, approximately 2 hours from Munich. This romantic castle inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle and offers breathtaking views of the Bavarian Alps.
