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.
Great , did not have to worry about travel.
We did not get chance to take advantage of all the discounts of this ticket but we did however think it was so much cheaper to get that getting single tickets each time we used the public transport so the discounts are a bonus. We did get the souvenir from Hard Rock Cafe witch was just a cheap pen so did expect a little bit more. Also the city tour card was not a card it was just a ticket ( bit of paper). But all in all we would get this again as it is value for money.
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.
Worthy tour to Neuschwanstein if you want a hassle-free trip
If you're not up to hire your own car, the price isn't too bad. The trip takes you safely to the castle and back to Munich in good time. The tour guide was amazing the day I went, and she was clearly passionate about the topics explored on the tour.
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
