Planning Your Munich Visit
How many days to spend in Munich?
If you're just going to tick the city off the list, then 3 days will satisfy any tourist's sightseeing needs. But for a more relaxed trip and to really get to know the city, a week's stay will be much more suitable.
Where to stay?
With public transport being so efficient, location depends on what you want your experience to be. If you want to be close to the main sights, then look for something in Altstadt. For a more modest budget, look in Ludwigsvorstadt near the Hauptbahnhof and the Oktoberfest grounds. Or if you're in the city for the nightlife, then Schwabing, Maxvorstadt, and the Gärtnerplatzviertel-Glockenbachviertel areas will be your best bet.

What people are saying about Munich
A fun tour with beer history, beer, good food and good company.
I would definitely recommend this tour. We started off with some beer and some good laughs with the guide Jake who briefed us about the tour while all of the group members gathered. Jake was all in all a fun guide and made the tour great. We all went to the different tour stops by prepaid public transportation and some walking. We went to the Bier & Oktoberfest museum first, where we got 3 beer samples, some beer info and a short tour around parts of the museum. Very good. Then we went to a beer cellar for a bite to eat. We were served a platter of different Bavarian dishes, all great, and drank beer - of course. You pay for the drinks yourself, which is good to know. The tour ended at Hofbräuhaus where you can choose to go in or go elsewhere. I recommend you visit the beer hall, it's loud, rude, the beers are big and the service is interesting. A great Bavarian beer hall! Maybe not a place for deep conversation, but for laughs, German music and great beers.
This was the best tour of my life, with an amazing tour guide.
I don’t really like doing tours, but this was absolutely different. Having the chance to swim in the middle of forests and mountains with a view to the castle is something unpayable. The bike riding was great and relaxing, and the restaurant was spectacular, specialy the beer. Our guide, Ryan, is hilarious and gave us great advices and tips. The tour wouldn’t have been the same without him. I will definitely repeat this tour when I return to Múnich.
Eric did a phenomenal job putting it in context - highly recommend
With a background in history, philosophy and English lit, I felt like I was in a walking college course on National Socialism and the experience of the prisoners at Dachau. Eric was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to engage us as well as our kids (aged 12-17). The experience itself if sobering and impactful - I list it in the top two of our experiences over the 2 1/2 weeks we were in Germany. Never Again.
Worth the trip. Not just the castle, but the churches too.
Most of the coach tours are Neuschwanstein paired with Linderhof, but we didn't want 2 castles. This is 2 churches, Neuschwanstein, and a cheese farm. The churches were both outstanding. The cheese farm had amazing views... and cheese. Our excellent guide, Arman, made sure we kept to the schedule, but didn't feel rushed.
A riveting insightful tour round the city!
Jake was amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed his approach to this tour. His enthusiasm and passion for the city and this specific, important factor of its history, was infectious. My partner and I loved it, we throughly recommend
