5 Reasons Why You Should Visit Munich Next Time You Are In Europe

Although Munich has quite a few museums, for one that is very different from most museums you’ll find in European cities, I recommend going to the Deutsche Museum in Munich. If you have a day off in Munich, I highly recommend visiting Berchtesgaden and Eagle’s Nest. The castle is now open to the public and you can take a walk through the castle or take a guided tour that should last about 45 minutes. You can also reach the famous viewpoint where you can take that popular photo of the castle from afar.

This magnificent palace used to be home to the former Bavarian royal family and is affectionately known in English as “the castle of the nymphs”. It’s definitely one of the things to do in Munich if you want to explore the amazing local history. Munich’s New Town Hall is one of the most recognizable buildings in the entire city and hotel oktoberfest is worth checking out if you’re on Marienplatz.

Many people love the height of summer, for the regular sun and temperatures that often rise above 30 degrees in the middle of the day. That’s certainly perfect for strolling around the city and enjoying the large lawns and paths of English Garden.

Real fans can even book a tour to see the arena and training ground. If I’m ever shopping in Munich, I can usually be found here. Yes, it’s crowded and full of popular European retailers, but there’s a reason why it’s so busy! There are many shops in the area to meet all your shopping needs. The annual Streetlife festival on Leopoldstraße is the biggest and best known, but look here for a more solid list. If you want to take a scenic drive that’s right next to all of Munich’s more touristy spots, you should take a stroll along Ludwigstraße and Leopoldstraße.

After Dachau yesterday, you probably need a lighter and more relaxing day today. If you’re in Munich during the hot summer days, there are plenty of things to do while relaxing in the sun.
