Top Reasons to Go to Munich

Deutsches Museum: The museum has an impressive collection of science and technology exhibits, and its location on the Isar River is perfect for a relaxing afternoon stroll.

Englischer Garten: With expansive greens, beautiful lakes, and beer gardens, the English Garden is a great place for a bike ride or a long walk.

Gärtnerplatz: Gärtnerplatz and the adjoining Glockenbachviertel are the hip hoods of the moment, with trendy bars, restaurants, cafés, and shops.

Marienplatz: The heart of Munich, everyone passes through this pretty medieval square at the center of everything. Be sure to take in the Glockenspiel's turning knights and musicians on the facade of the Rathaus at midday.

Viktualienmarkt: Experience farmers'-market-style shopping, where there’s fresh produce, finger food, and a beer garden. Dating back to 1823, this market should not be missed.
