Explore Germany’s most charming city, home of over a million inhabitants. Discover an exciting blend of tradition, cosmopolitanism and vibrant renewal. World-famous museums, typical Bavarian restaurants and traditional beer gardens await your visit.

The Marienplatz (main square) with the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall) and the Glockenspiel (carillon) forms the heart of the Old Town. A guided tour of the Old Town takes you to these and other attractions of the city founded in 1158. You will gain more in-depth insights with a tasting tour of Munich’s Viktualienmarkt, a guided tour of the Hofbräuhaus (beer hall) and a visit to the Bier und Oktoberfest Museum (Beer and Oktoberfest Museum).

The Hofgarten (court garden) of the Munich Residence (city palace) is just a few minutes’ walk from the historic city centre, leading to the vast green spaces of the English Garden with its famous beer garden at the Chinesischer Turm (Chinese tower). Other lovely parks include the Olympiapark (Olympic Park) with its iconic tent-roof architecture and the expansive landscaped gardens of Schloss Nymphenburg (Nymphenburg Palace). When you purchase a Munich Card, you get discounts and reductions for these and many other sights and attractions.
