Munich's best views
St. Peter's Church offers great views, perfect for photos. You can see Alps using one side, Frauenkirche and the Olympic tower on one other, but only once it's clear. We took the alarmingly swift ride up the Olympic tower (Olympiaturm) at Olympiapark to catch the panoramic view of Munich. Despite having the clouds, it had been worth the ticket price. Neuschwanstein Castle lies about 50 miles southwest of Munich and is a mustsee. Visit the bridge behind the castle to get probably the most breathtaking views. A visit may be worth the walk and the steep steps, whilst the views of the Bavarian Alps, castle and the surrounding lakes are incredible.~
Kids will enjoy riding the dragon from The Neverending Story and watching the famous stunt show at the Bavaria Film Studios.
The Munich Zoo "has a beautiful children's area. And it's situated in a pleasant wooded area to walk around and begin to see the animals. It's good eating and bathroom facilities.
We spent an extended, rainy day within the Deutsches Museum and had a great time. There's a Kinder Museum in the basement with water exhibits, items to climb and a number of musical instruments to pound on. Needless to say, which was the highlight for the kids.
For a bird's-eye view of the glockenspiel, go to the Cafe Glockenspiel, which is on the fifth floor in the building directly across from the glockenspiel at Marienplatz. Have among their coffees and the apple strudel- wonderful. If you will get tickets, take your true like to a romantic opera at the Bayerische Staatsoper Opera House. Walk, hand in hand along Lake Staffelsee and ingest the dazzling view of the charming countryside. Gartenpools
The legendary Staatliches Hofbrauhaus is a truly brilliant destination for a visit. We were a small grouping of lads from England, and we met up with several nationalities and drank and sang songs all afternoon. A definite must for many tourists, and I still have the headache to prove it! Go to the Bavarian National Museum (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum) on Sunday, when the entrance fee is only one euro. We were just enthralled with the wood sculpture by Tilman Riemenschneider from the 15th century. The Marienplatz is a pedestrian-only area in old Munich. We sat at an outside cafe and enjoyed snacks and a beer, while awaiting the glockenspiel to perform.
At Olympiapark, it is possible to swim in the Olympic pool if you should be so inclined as well as climb through to the roof of the stadium. There are lots of pathways around the grounds which can be well-maintained and safe. Best known for hosting Oktoberfest, Theresienwiese can be home to the Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival) and the Christmas Market, where, besides mulled wine, you can even get a Hot Caipirinha, quite a good thing in December. Do not get lost at Hirschgarten, the biggest beer garden in Europe, with room for 8,000! It is crucial visit for the beer, outside atmosphere and food.
