Things to do
Munich is best held around Marienplatz: from there the Viktualienmarkt, the English Garden and the Kunstareal museums are all a walk away. The city is compact, U-Bahn and trams reach palaces and beer gardens, and the airport train runs straight into the centre.
Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt
Start at Marienplatz by the new town hall, then walk to the Viktualienmarkt for cheese, pretzels and lunch. From the market it is ten minutes on foot to the English Garden and its beer gardens.
The English Garden
Follow the Eisbach stream in the English Garden, where surfers wait for the wave under the bridge, and carry on to the Chinese Tower. The paths run long, and a rented bike shortens the way to the far meadows.
Palaces and museums
Nymphenburg Palace with its park and pavilions fills half a day, with a tram from the centre. In the Kunstareal the Alte and Neue Pinakothek stand side by side, so two collections fit into one outing.
Where to stay
Altstadt
The old town around Marienplatz suits a short visit: market, cathedral, beer halls, all on foot. Evenings are busy and loud, yet you never need a ticket to get anywhere.
Schwabing
Schwabing, with its cafés, bookshops and university buildings, appeals to anyone who likes a calm city rhythm. The English Garden is close, and the main station is a short U-Bahn ride.
Glockenbachviertel
The Glockenbachviertel is a quarter of bars, small shops and bicycles near the Isar. Younger travellers like it here; nights get loud, so ask for a room facing the courtyard.
Getting to and around Munich
S1 and S8 trains run from Franz Josef Strauss Airport to the main station in about forty minutes. Around town the main options are the U-Bahn, trams and the S-Bahn, which link the centre, Schwabing and the exhibition grounds. A day ticket pays off after a few rides, and city bikes are available through the local rental scheme.
Three days in Munich
Centre and English Garden
Marienplatz, the Frauenkirche and the Viktualienmarkt fill the morning. In the afternoon walk the English Garden to the Eisbach wave, and end at the beer garden by the Chinese Tower.
Museums and palaces
Spend the morning in the Alte Pinakothek or the Deutsches Museum, with lunch in the Kunstareal. Later take the tram to Nymphenburg and walk the park out to the pavilions.
Olympic Park and Schwabing
Start at the Olympic Park and BMW Welt on the U3, and ride up the Olympic Tower. Return to Schwabing for coffee in the afternoon and finish over dinner in a beer hall.
