5 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Altstadt von Fuessen and Andechs Monastery. Appreciate the collections at Munich Residenz and BMW Headquarters. Venture out of the city with trips to Schloss Neuschwanstein (in Schwangau), Benediktinerkloster St. Mang (in Fussen) and Regensburg (Altes Rathaus, Old Town, &more). The adventure continues: contemplate the long history of Nymphenburg Palace, examine the collection at Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum, stroll around Theresienwiese, and take in the exciting artwork at Kunsthalle Munich.
