Munich is one of the largest cities in Germany and one of the most prosperous. The amount of attractions will make you wanted a travel guide like a map to help you on your visit in Munich.
Starting point: Marienplatz
This is the center of the old town of Munich. Here there is largest concentration of shopping stores, malls, and beer gardens. Look for the tourist information center located in the center here for the possibility to ask any questions or to buy a travel map for 30 cents. The travel guide map is the best way to find your way to each of the attractions in Munich.
Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady)
This church can be seen from most places within Munich. This attraction has two large domed tower and is located close to Marienplatz. Here you can climb to the top and get a great overview of the city.
Hofbrauhaus
If you are looking to experience some of the local culture, make your way to the Hofbrauhaus. This is a very large indoor and outdoor beer hall where you will find Germans dressed in traditional Bavarian clothing (think leather pants). You can order large 1 liter glasses of beer and get drink singing to traditional German songs.
Olympiapark
This is the site of the 1972 Olympics. The entire park is open for viewing. One word of advice: Don’t pay 2 euros to get into the running track area. There isn’t much to see there. Rather walk around the gate and you will be able to see inside. If you pay to get in, the only benefit you’ll get is the chance to sit in the bleachers. One great way to see the city of Munich is from the Tv Tower located here. Its definitely worth the entrance fee.
Nymphenburg Palace (Schloss Nymphenburg)
This is a large palace located a short distance away from the old center of Munich. The palace itself is very beautiful and worth a visit. There is a large park located behind the palace that takes hours to walk through. There are many magnificent statues located here.
