MUNICH SIGHTS & ATTRACTIONS
- What to See & Do

Marienplatz is the Gothic heart of the Old Town and contains amongst other impressive buildings the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall). You'll like the views from the 85m high tower.

Enjoy the picturesque town centre and sample some 1-litre beers in establishments such as the famous Hofbräuhaus. There are plenty of beer gardens as well, but if that doesn’t take your fancy, why not relax in the huge Englischer Garten park area.

For history and culture visit the Munich Residenz palace, Schloss Nymphenburg or one of the museums. The Three Pinakotheks museum complex houses contemporary paintings, paintings by European Old Masters and contemporary art, architecture and design in three separate  buildings. Then there’s the Deutsches Museum (a science, technology aviation museum) and football fans may enjoy a match or stadium tour at the Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich.

And then there’s something called the OKTOBERFEST (which starts in September!).
