A Quick Guide to Visiting Munich, Munich, Germany

Munich, Germany is a world class city with much to see and do. It can be daunting to nail down an itinerary especially if you’re short on time. To help make the most of your trip if you’re heading to Bavaria’s capital city, here’s a quick guide to visiting Munich.

The first tip for making the most of a short trip is booking a room that’s centrally located so you don’t waste time in transit getting to the main sites. My Russian and I booked a room last minute, as in while we were boarding our flight, and managed to snag a room at the InterCity Hotel. It was right by the train station and within walking distance to many of Munich’s main attractions. It also included a delicious breakfast and complimentary public transportation passes, which was an added perk. Staying in this general area will allow you to easily explore on foot and quickly access the subway to reach further locales.

Karlsplatz is a historic square in the heart of the city. It also serves as the entrance to one of Munich’s shopping districts that runs along Neuhauser Street. This pedestrian street is filled with name brand stores as well as local boutiques and plenty of sidewalk cafes and vendors to grab a snack or drink as you explore. ......
