Monuments

Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) - A Gothic church, one of the most striking symbols of the city. Its two towers are a characteristic feature of the city skyline. In 1818 it became the episcopal cathedral. Let a local or a guide tell you the legend of the devil's trail.
Address: Frauenplatz 1, Munich.

Marienplatz - The central square in Munich. It is surrounded by historic buildings, such as the town hall with the Glockenspiel. Life-size historical figures on the clock act out scenes from the city's history twice a day. During the Middle Ages, knightly tournaments and even public executions took place here. Today, instead of executioners, you'll find cafes, shops and plenty of photo opportunities.
Address: Marienplatz, Munich.

National Museum of Bavaria (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum) – Here you can admire one of the largest collections of sculptures and decorative arts in the world. You will find the largest collection of nativity scenes. Note: admission on Sundays is only one euro – so you can be cultural for the price of a coffee! ;)
Address: Prinzregentenstraße 3, Munich.

Odeonsplatz - An elegant square lined with historic buildings, including the Feldherrnhalle and the Theatinerkirche. Note the bronze walkway in Viscardigasse, known as the "Drückebergergasse" (cowards' alley). During the Nazi era, locals hid in this alley to avoid the mandatory salute at the Feldherrnhalle. Today, it symbolizes courage and resistance to oppression.
Address: Odeonsplatz 1, Munich.

The German Museum (Deutsches Museum) - One of the largest science and technology museums in the world, it features exhibits dedicated to science, technology and industry. It is located on an island that was once called Coal Island. Before it became the museum’s home, it was used to store coal and wood, and was even the largest harbor for rafts in Europe! Today, instead of rafts, you can find exhibits ranging from spaceships to musical instruments to interactive experiments with liquid nitrogen.
Address: Museumsinsel 1, Munich.

Residenz - The Royal Palace, the former residence of the Bavarian dukes, electors and kings, with its richly furnished rooms, art collections and beautiful gardens. Over the centuries, it has transformed from a simple fortress into the largest city palace in Germany, combining styles from Renaissance to Baroque to Neoclassicism. In its Cuvilliés Theatre, Mozart's opera Idomeneo premiered in 1781.
Address: Residenzstraße 1, Munich..

Alte Pinakothek - The art museum focusing on European painting from the 14th to the 18th century, including works by artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt and Rubens. The museum building was severely damaged during the bombing during World War II, but architect Hans Döllgast restored it with unplastered bricks to remain visible. So if you admire paintings by Dürer or Raphael, do not forget to look at the walls - they are a work of art.
Address: Englischer Garten 1, Munich.

Englischer Garten - Munich’s green oasis, one of the largest city parks in the world! Watch surfers ride the legendary Eisbachwelle – yes, river surfing right in the middle of the city! Surfers flock here in all weathers, even in winter. And if surfing doesn’t appeal to you, you can walk to the Monopteros, a small Greek temple on a hill, from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of Munich. And of course, we can’t forget the beer gardens at the Chinese Tower – because what would a Munich park be without a good beer?
Address: Englischer Garten 1, Munich.

Viktualienmarkt square - A market with a wide selection of fresh food, flowers and local specialties. You can shop here every day except Sundays and public holidays. The beer here flows straight from the cellars under the square! Yes, there are beer tanks under the entire market, from which the local beer garden is supplied - so when you have a Löwenbräu or an Augustiner, you are drinking directly from the "underground".
Address: Viktualienmarkt 3, Munich.

Allianz Arena - A modern football stadium, home to FC Bayern Munich, with a futuristic design and colour-changing LED panels. It can hold almost 80,000 spectators. The façade is covered with 2,760 air cushions that can change colour depending on who is playing – red for Bayern, blue for 1860 Munich and white for the German national team. And because the Germans think of everything, these cushions are even self-cleaning – so no more washing the windows after the rain! The stadium is nicknamed the "inflatable boat" (Schlauchboot), which is apt because from a distance it really does look like you could jump in and paddle.
Address: Werner-Heisenberg-Allee 25, Munich.

Karlsplatz (Stachus) - A large square in the center of Munich named after Karl Theodor. Below the square you will find the U-Bahn and S-Bahn stops. The fountain in the middle of the square provides refreshing water in the summer, while in the winter it turns into a magical ice rink for skaters.
Address: Karlsplatz (Stachus), Munich.
