Munich what to see. Three days in Munich. Sights, accommodation, photos, reviews. Olympic Tower and Olympic Park

Munich one of the most beautiful large German cities and definitely one of the twenty must-see cities in Europe on my personal list. In addition, this city is a good transit on the way to Bavarian or Austrian Alps .

Oktoberfest, BMW Museum, legendary beer halls?! Even for a person indifferent to these cult things for the Germans, travel around Bavaria and driving past its capital is, at a minimum, unnatural.

Visit Munich It’s even possible in the “several hours” format if you’re passing through or don’t have much time. Sights and interesting places They are very scattered, but you can get around the small center in time.

Usually for planning a trip to major European cities, which includes Munich, I answer myself a few main questions.

Questions to answer before traveling to Munich

Where will I live?

How many days will I spend in the city?

What can I see there?

What will I do besides sightseeing? (interesting events, local holidays, museums - I’m not a big fan of archives, but I love painting)

Where will I have lunch and dinner, what interesting hotspots are there in the city?

Now I will try to answer these questions in case Munich.

How to choose accommodation in Munich

Let's leave multi-star hotels to business travelers, businessmen, wives of oligarchs and rich slackers; we'll also pass by hostels, hostels and dorms, which we'll leave to classic backpackers and students.

Munich- an expensive city, prices for similar hotels here can be a third higher than in the rest Germany. After analyzing hotel offers, I found an inexpensive mini-hotel in a quiet area of Munich Trudering, 40-50 minutes drive to the center (bus plus metro), bus stop right next to the hotel.

The hotel is called Zeevat Bed & Breakfast. It is run by a very sociable owner - a Dutchman of about 60, who, being a traveler who settled in Munich, knows his business and the needs of our brother well. The hotel is a two-story mansion with 4 or 5 rooms. The price is 50 euros per double, the price includes a luxurious continental breakfast, which easily allows you not to think about food for an hour until 15.00. The atmosphere is more homely than hotel.

Second option for those who like to be closer to the center, but will have to pay extra for it. My friends recommend the hotel Novotel City Munchen, not far from the center. It's a leisurely half-hour walk, and the hotel is conveniently located on the way to the airport Munich. Price 100 euro plus or minus depending on the booking policy and the hotel itself.

Third option t - hotels in the very center. The option couldn't be simpler, for the rich and lazy. In five minutes, we select a luxury room from booking in your favorite hotel in the city center, costing from 200 euros, to which you will be taken by taxi directly from the airport. Then we rent a limousine with a guide and ride around the city. Hotels Combined, a service I use myself. The advantage of the service is that it compares prices from dozens of booking systems - you just have to choose the best offer. In addition, in each article or report I provide links to hotels where I stayed and which I liked.

Munich You can quickly explore it in one day; many interesting things and all the museums will remain behind the scenes. Everyone decides for themselves, based on their preferences.

I think it’s optimal to spend three days in the city. During this time you can see main attractions of Munich, the most interesting museums and visit several good pubs.

Sights to see in Munich. Day 1

English garden

Considering that I lived in the Trudering area at the Zeevat Hotel, I start with English garden. Morning urban gardens are the format I prefer in the summer in Europe or any time in Asia. Not a single tourist, locals go about their business, and you recharge your batteries before a long tourist day. The English Garden in Munich is the largest and oldest landscape park in the world. The main attraction of the English Garden – Chinese Tower, next to it is a beer garden with 7,000 seats. We'll save the beer for the evening program, but for now we'll move on.

Another attraction in English garden– Monoptera, built in 1836. This is a structure with a dome and columns in the Greek style. Everything else English garden- a recreation area for Munich residents tired of hard capitalist labor. The entire active part of society is here - cyclists, football players, musicians, artists and nudists. Part of the park's territory is even given over to nudists.

Marienplatz

Charged with energy and oxygen, we go to conquer Munich city center. By center we mean Marienplatz square, it is named because of the column of the Virgin Mary, which rises above the square. Getting there is easy - two metro lines and one city train line intersect here.

Architectural masterpieces at Marienplatz

Fraunkirche with two onion-shaped towers- very typical for Bavaria- the tallest church in Munich, only angels are higher than it, so building buildings higher is prohibited. There is an observation deck at the top, the cost is 1.5 euros.

Saint Paul's Cathedral– the oldest and most beautiful church in Munich. She's only three meters shorter Fraunkirche. It pierces the sky with a Gothic spire, and from the observation deck you can see the Alps and the whole of Munich, in good weather. The 96-meter height can be reached on foot – 306 steps. The fee for lifting is symbolic - 1.5 euros. This is the most popular church among Munich residents and guests of the city.

New Town Hall

A very beautiful Gothic style building on Marienplatz. The building gives the impression of being very old, although it was built in 1909. There is also an observation deck at an altitude of 85 meters. The Town Hall observation deck can be reached by elevator. In addition, the Town Hall has a very cool clock with bells and figures that represent scenes from the life of a medieval city during the chimes.

Old Town Hall

It is located next to the New Town Hall and is now almost completely given over to the toy museum. I haven’t been, I won’t say anything, but I think if you have time you can go.

Karlsplatz Stachus

Close to Marienplatz, Karlsplatz is one of the central squares of Munich, they say unofficially it is named after the legendary Sankt-Eustachius beer hall. The square is very party-oriented, thanks to the pedestrian zone of Munich, which begins here, the Stachus fountain and large shops. Almost all city transport lines intersect here. A shopaholic's dream, the Stachus underground shopping center, like many things in Munich, is the largest in Europe.

Teresa's Meadow

On Teresa's Meadow You can walk, but it’s better to drive – you’ll need strength. This is where the annual beer festival is held Oktoberfest.

The park is located in the Munich district of Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, the nearest U-Bahn station is Theresienwiese (U4, U5). The street crosses the Theresienwiese right in the middle Matthias-Pschorr-Strasse. Main memorial Teresa's meadows – sculpture of Bavaria And "Hall of Fame"(Ruhmeshalle), located behind it.

Hofgarten park

We take the metro and go on the other side of Marienplatz to the royal park Hofgarten. In German, a rectangular park with fountains and the Temple of Diana in the center. In the evenings there are dances or classical music concerts in the temple. Depending on your preferences, you can spend from 30 minutes to several hours here. Half an hour was enough for me, especially around Hofgarten there is a whole bunch of attractions.

Odeonsplatz square

Opposite the entrance to the Hofgarten is a historic Italian-style square. For those who are tired of German Gothic, here is Theatinerkirche St. Kajetan, one of the few in the late Baroque style. And also the Florentine loggia and the oldest cafe in Munich.

Nearby is the Leuchtenberg Palace, a copy of the Roman palace Palazzo Farnese. The square was built at the beginning of the 18th century. In addition to the fact that the square is beautiful in itself, it is famous for the fact that in 1923 there was a shootout between participants in Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and the police.

Right on the square – metro station, line U3-U6, or bus №100 stop: Odeonsplatz

Munich Residence

Walking distance from Odeonsplatz And Hofgarten you can go to Munich residence. What is this? A complex of buildings and the historical residence of various nobles - dukes, electors and kings of Bavaria. Now the Residence Museum is located here, which houses the treasures of kings, household items, clothing, etc. There are interesting architectural solutions inside. Museum lovers should go; everyone else can take a stroll in the Arc de Triomphe located next to the Odeonplatz.

Triumphal Arch

North front gate- this is how King Ludwig I laid the foundation for the arch in 1843. Another monument to unwon victories, although a very beautiful one. After 1945, the inscription appeared on the arch: “Dedicated to the war, destroyed by the war, reminiscent of peace.”

Sights of Munich, what to see. Day 2.

Blutenburg Castle

According to tradition, we start the morning in nature by going to the castle Blutenburg. It is very picturesque and it is better to visit such places in the morning, when there are no crowds of tourists eager to take pictures in front of every brick of the castle in all possible poses and angles.

Schloss Blutenburg local residents nicknamed Castle of Blood because of the various heart-warming love stories associated with it. The castle is located between a river and two lakes, very photogenic.

Address:Munich, Seldweg, 15

New and Old Pinakothek

Museum lovers are advised to visit art galleries in Munich among which the most famous are New and Old Pinakothek, located close to each other. They differ in addition to the fact that they are in different buildings in that the Old Pinakothek contains paintings with an age up to the 18th century inclusive, while the New Pinakothek contains works by masters from the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. There is also the newest Pinakothek - paintings by modern and ultra-modern artists are stored there.

German Museum

They can finish the creative part of the second day, provided that Pinakothek we will not stay for half a day, as many advise. Otherwise, the time spent in Munich need to be extended for another day, or even two.

Full title - German Polytechnic Museum, founded in 1903 by engineer Oskar von Miller and is the world's largest polytechnic museum. These are not the boring museums we are used to. You can touch many of the exhibits, and experiment with some. Planetarium, exhibitions on the history of shipbuilding, astronomy, telecommunications, aircraft construction, chemistry, physics. The list is just as long as you will have to spend time there. Experts advise spending half a day at the museum. You decide.

Müller city baths

If you have time, you can go for a run, and that’s exactly what happened to us, to the public baths Müllersches Volksbad It so happened that I left the car next to the baths, otherwise I would have passed by, but there is something to see.

Müller city baths located on the right bank of the Isar River, architecture with Baroque elements, they were built from 1897 to 1901. Inside, the luxurious finishing of two swimming pools, the Roman-Irish steam room with baths and hydromassage, is one of the most beautiful indoor swimming pools in Germany.

Interestingly, there used to be baths in the basement of the Müller Baths, where any resident of Munich could bathe their dog.

Sights of Munich, what to see. Day 3

You probably won’t be able to visit all three of the attractions below in one day, so you’ll have to sacrifice something.

We are going to Olympia Park, where we will go to the BMW Museum and go up to the Munich TV tower. Fans of Bayern football and lovers of sports architecture and light shows can go to the Allianz Arena stadium

BMW Museum

The building itself BMW Museum– the quintessence of what we call ultra-modern. I'm not even talking about what's inside. One of best museums in Munich It's worth coming to the city just to visit. You can come here in the afternoon - at night the building is very beautifully illuminated.

Olympic Park and Tower

One of the most popular places Munich- a park built for the 1972 Summer Olympics according to the design of the architectural bureau of Günter Behnisch. Here are the Olympic and water stadiums, a velodrome, an ice skating rink, and the tower itself is 290 m high. The tower has two observation platforms: indoor and outdoor, on which at an altitude of 190 m there is a restaurant at the top for 150 visitors.

Alliance Arena

Football flying saucer. They only play football here, no concerts or other shows. Football is a serious game, and even those who have never been to the stadium have no doubt about the strength of Bayern. I recommend going even to people who are far from football, if only because of the architecture, atmosphere or the light show, which is held every evening at 21.30. You can get there by metro, line U6.

For the fans FC "Bayern"– a magnificent interactive museum of the club.

Zoo

I don’t know if there is time for the Zoo, but without it, a review of the most interesting things in Munich would be incomplete. Besides, I have a weakness for zoos, and Munich is no exception. The old zoo was founded in 1911. And here, as elsewhere in Europe, the conditions for keeping animals are as close as possible to their natural habitat. Again, like many things in Munich, Hellabrunn Zoo is the largest zoo in Europe and is located in the southern part of Munich on the banks of the Isar River. As for me, it is similar to many European zoos, so if you are not a big fan, you can exchange it for the BMW Museum.

entrance: Adults - 12 euros, Children - 5 euros, children under 4 years old free It turned out to be quite large, so let’s talk about hot spots Munich, addresses of cozy cafes and good places for lunch and dinner will have to be written in a separate article.

Find a budget hotel in Munich

Budget accommodation or hotels in Munich can be found through the booking system Hotels Combined, a service I use myself. It compares prices among dozens of booking systems - all we have to do is choose the best offer. In addition, in each article or report I provide links to hotels where I stayed and which I liked. A budget option is aviasales.ru, an aggregator that I use myself. The service selects the most advantageous offers - you just have to choose the best by price, departure time or airline.

How to book a car for travel

To rent a car while traveling, I use an international operator site - this is a choice among both budget local operators and among world leaders in car rental, no commissions and the best price among competitors. Additional advantages include easy site navigation, multilingual functionality, and reliability tested by hundreds of thousands of travelers. I recommend it.

I broadcast all news and articles on the page LifeIsTravel V

Munich is not the largest European city; according to data from 6 years ago, less than 1.5 million inhabitants lived in it, but in terms of its richness in historical, cultural and architectural monuments, it will give odds to many other European cities, rightfully considered a pearl. What to see in Munich in 1, 2, 3 days and where to go? The possibilities in the capital of the state of Bavaria are so wide that it makes it difficult to choose.

How to get there?

To travel to Munich you need a Schengen visa. Its cost is 35 euros, a set of required documents to obtain it is listed on the website www.germania.diplo.de, to obtain it you must contact the embassy or consulates that are located in large cities.

There is no direct train to Munich; you will have to go with a transfer, for example through Prague. It is possible to travel by bus or personal transport, but the best thing is a direct plane, which will take you to the place in 3-4 hours. The airport is located 28 km from the city; to travel to Munich it is better to choose the train - the fastest mode of transport here, eliminating traffic jams.

In the city itself there is an extensive scheme of four types of transport - tram, bus, metro, city train. Travel on any transport costs the same; it is more profitable to purchase a ticket for 1 or 3 days. Transport runs exactly on schedule down to the minute.

City center

Marienplatz / Ashwin Chandrasekaran, flickr.om

The Old Town and Marienplatz are a magnet for lovers of architectural monuments. Most excursions begin with a visit to this square. What to see in Munich in 1 day? For the first day inspection we recommend:

The Old Town Hall is a building in the Gothic style with an interesting multi-figure clock; the building houses a toy museum;
The new town hall in pseudo-Gothic style, the tallest building on the square, from the observation deck (an elevator is provided for access) offers a wonderful city panorama;
Peterskirche - the Gothic Church of St. Peter, the oldest existing in the city, there is a statue of the Saint in the altar, on the 92-meter high bell tower there is also a viewing platform, but the ascent to it is not mechanized;
The Obelisk of Marienzoile is the topographical center of the city, the marble stele is crowned with a bronze statue of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus in her arms;
The Fischbrunnen Fountain was built in the 14th century; previously there was a fish market around it, hence the name (German: Fisch - fish). An ancient tradition of city residents is to rinse empty wallets in it to quickly fill it.

Odeonsplatz / Anthony V., flickr.com

Marienplatz is connected to the next interesting point of view - Odeonsplatz square - Neunhauserstrasse - Munich's pedestrian zone. On the street you can admire the late Gothic Frauenkirche - the tallest church, a symbol of the city, built in the Rococo style of the Azamkirche (St. John of Nepomuk), named after the Azam brothers who built it.

On Odeonsplatz itself there are:

Theatinerkirche.
Loggia Feldfernhalle.
Residence Palace Complex.

The Theatinerkirche (Holy Trinity Cathedral) was built in the late Baroque style. Copper domes and snow-white richly decorated interior are one of the most visited places by tourists.

The Feldfernhalle, a piece of Italy transferred to Germany, is identical to the Loggia of Lanzi, one of the architectural monuments from Florence. Another name for the loggia is the arcade of the commanders. The army monument and statues of commanders Tilly and Wrede, cast in bronze, remind of the victories of Bavaria.

Munich Residence / Pierre Andre Leclercq, flickr.com

The Residence Palace is located opposite the Theatinerkirche. The former residence of the Bavarian royal house of Wittelsbach, located in the Hofgarten garden, has been converted into a museum complex. The eight buildings of the palace are connected by passages that form courtyards.

Here's what you can see in the Residence museums: a rich collection of jewelers' creations, royal regalia, a chapel with mosaic panels made of semi-precious stones, miniatures - these exhibits make up the pride of the museum's collection.

A traveler visiting Munich for the first time will be interested in visiting some of the city’s neighborhoods:

Heidenhausen is a fashionable area south of the Old Town with a large number of nightclubs, attractive to the intellectual elite and artists;
Schwabing is the center of the city's nightlife, a center of avant-garde art with lots of entertainment, restaurants and antique shops.
Westend is an area inhabited by people from other countries, mainly Turkey, and has an oriental flavor.

A trip to Munich can be combined with a visit to the premiere at the National Theater, which is considered one of the best in the world. Innovative productions of both classical and modern operas and ballets are known. Stars of the world stage, outstanding composers and conductors collaborate with the theater. The building, built in the classicist style, copies the Odeon theater in Paris.

After completing a rich cultural program, you can relax and satisfy your hunger in numerous cafes and restaurants in the Old Town. Near Marienplatz is the Hofbräuhaus beer garden, which opened in 1589.

Major museums

We will devote another day to museums. There are many museums in Munich, getting to know them requires much more time than the allotted 1-2-3 days. But among them there are several, not to see which is a sin for a traveler:

Pinakothek;
German Museum;
Nymphenburg Palace;
Glyptothek;
BMW Museum.

Pinakothek / sanfamedia.com, flickr.com

Pinakothek – a complex of art galleries “Area of Arts” – is the name of the museum quarter. The world-famous collection of works is decorated with works by Durer, Rubens, Van Dyck, Botticelli, Cranach, Leonardo, Bruegel and many other geniuses.

The German Museum is the largest museum of natural history and technology, distinguished by the fact that the tourist there becomes an experimenter. The museum's exposition with a total length of 19 km cannot be explored in 1 day, so it is advisable to choose a route in advance in the areas of science of interest.

Nymphenburg Palace was built as a summer country residence, but with the expansion of the city's borders it became part of it. The luxurious complex “a la Versailles” is now a complex of museums, here you can visit the museum of carriages, porcelain, the Gallery of Beauties, the Tapestry Hall, the hall of coats of arms, and the Chinese lacquer cabinet.

The Glyptotek is a collection of sculpture from ancient Rome and Greece. The museum was founded in 1830. Particularly interesting are the sculptures from the pediment of the Temple of Athena Aphaia from the island of Aegina, the Barberini faun (drunken satyr). Munich is the headquarters of the BMW concern. The museum displays manufactured cars.

Even the museums on this short list cannot be visited in a day. Just examining the collections of the Pinakothek will require more than one month, and in Munich there is also the State Museum of Egyptian Art, the State Paleontological Museum, the State Museum of Applied and Ancient Art - and we could go on for a long time. So the question is: “What to visit in Munich?” should not arise.

Neighborhood

Lake Constance / Ștefan Jurcă, flickr.com

By dedicating one day out of three to exploring the outskirts of Munich, you can see several unique natural parks and ancient castles:

Lake Constance;
Rhine Falls;
Plettenberg Castle;
Neuschwanstein Castle.

Lake Constance is located 180 km from the city; a trip there will take a whole day. This is a local resort area. On the island near the town of Lindau there is a pedestrian zone, many cafes and recreation areas. The town itself is very picturesque, reminiscent of Italy.

From Lindau, along the German or Swiss shore of the lake, you can drive to the Rhine Falls, in the waters of which Arthur Conan Doyle originally wanted to drown Sherlock Holmes. The largest waterfall in Europe is located 20 km from Lake Constance on a bend of the Rhine. From the observation deck you can appreciate the power of water falling in a wide stream with enormous speed.

Plettenberg Castle has been known since the 12th century, and has stood in its modern form since the mid-15th century - the hunting castle of the Bavarian Duke Albrecht II is washed on three sides by water. Now it houses a youth library.

Because of its picturesqueness, Neuschwanstein Castle has found its way onto the wallpaper of computer tables. Never fully completed according to the design of Ludwig II, the castle nevertheless became the main attraction of the area. Built in the neo-Gothic style, it amazes with its size and graceful silhouette. The castle regularly hosts classical music concerts.

Interesting for little travelers

Flamingos at Hellabrunn Zoo / oocoryxx, flickr.com

In Munich it is not difficult to find an attraction that will interest a child. What to see in Munich with Children? In addition to the already mentioned toy museum in the Old Town Hall, we can recommend visiting the botanical garden and zoo, the German Museum and the BMW Museum.

The new botanical garden presents plants both characteristic of the nature of Bavaria and exotic ones. You can take a walk in the deciduous forest, see the collection of trees of the South, the collection of ferns and the collection of rhododendrons. The total number of plants in the New Botanical Garden is about 14 thousand specimens.

Hellabrunn Zoo, a nature reserve on the right bank of the Isar River, is the world's first geo-zoo. Opened in 1911. Children will enjoy visiting the elephant enclosure, aquarium and bat pavilion.

In the German Museum, a little traveler, participating in experiments, can feel like a natural scientist. In addition, you can touch many of the exhibits there with your hands.

The BMW Museum is a collection of all brands of cars that have ever rolled off the concern's assembly line. Here you can ride simulators of the latest modifications.

Video: what can you see in Munich and what places to visit?

Oktoberfest

The most famous holiday in Bavaria is the autumn beer festival Oktoberfest. Thousands of beer lovers annually, at the end of September - beginning of October, for more than two hundred years, come to the capital of Bavaria - Munich, to drink this drink for 2 weeks and 2 days on Theresienweisse Square (Theresa's Meadow), dressed in national Bavarian clothes, produced at one of the 6 main breweries.

The holiday is so popular that all hotels are overcrowded, and prices fly into space. For tourists who do not drink beer, this period is the only time for an undesirable excursion to Munich.

Bavaria is a picturesque southern region of Germany, lying next to the Alps, with fertile soil and a mild climate. In spring and autumn, winter and summer - at any time of the year, getting to know Bavaria and Munich will bring pleasure and broaden your horizons.

The Bavarian dukes and kings of the Wittelsbach dynasty built their wonderful world on this land in the center of Europe. It is more modest than those of imperial France, Austria, Russia, but is cozy and demonstrates its Bavarian mentality, expressed by the motto “Bavaria loves you.”

Weekend holidays for Russians who prefer independent travel are gaining popularity. It has become quite possible to travel on your own to Munich to spend a weekend or two or three holidays there, for example, in May.

If you have such an opportunity, we are happy to offer a three-day itinerary around Munich, which will allow you to visit the most famous Munich attractions.

So, you have two or three wonderful days ahead of you in the capital of Bavaria. First of all, buy or download a city plan.

You won't see gray gothic in Munich. The streets of old Munich look like living illustrations to Hoffmann's fairy tales. At any time of the year, you can feel the atmosphere of a good holiday here. The center resembles a museum, but in a particularly cozy, bright and clean way - in the southern German way.

Bavarian Travel Card (München City Card)

For those who arrived by plane and have no other means of transportation besides their legs, it is recommended to purchase them at the airport or train station at the information center marked with the letter “i”, as well as at Reisezentrum(analogous to our information desk) universal Bavarian travel card - Munich City Card. It is designed for group trips of up to 5 people.

The main holder of the travel card enters his name on it, the other persons are “attached”. The ticket is valid for one day throughout Bavaria.

A one-day pass costs 31 euro, three-day - 51 euro. It's profitable.

From airport to city

There is a group taxi from the airport, similar to our minibus. The driver, just like ours, loudly gathers people: “Hauptbahnhof!”, that is, the central station. From the station to the center you can take any tram in the direction of Ostbahnhof - East Station.

First of all, eat some food

You can eat in different ways. Most often found in Munich Baba-doners- Turkish analogues of shawarma. It's worth such a baba doner 2-3 euros. A huge, filling döner is enough to fuel you for the whole day. In any bakery you can buy delicious giant salty pretzels or laugenbrötchen (brown salted buns).

For gourmets, the restaurant under the town hall is recommended. There, feel free to choose white Munich sausages, pork ankle with potato salad or potato pancakes (Kartoffelpuffer) with apple sauce. Tasty! A modest lunch will cost approximately 10 euros per person. Beer in the restaurant and in all establishments is expensive - in the store it is three times cheaper.
