19 days in Munich Itinerary

Often described as the city of laptops and lederhosen, Munich is an international center of business, engineering, research, and medicine that still maintains a rich cultural heritage and age-old traditions.

Get out of town with these interesting Munich side-trips: Schloss Neuschwanstein (in Schwangau), Nuremberg (Maxtor, Kaiserburg Nurnberg, &more) and Maria-Hilf-Kirche (in Murnau). There's much more to do: engage your brain at Deutsches Museum, examine the collection at BMW Welt, contemplate the long history of Nymphenburg Palace, and don't miss a visit to Marienplatz.
