Small and compact Munich may seem like a small village to tourists, but despite its small scale, the sights of Munich are worthy of the most careful study.

There are many attractions in Munich, but the main one, of course, is the central square of the city Marienplatz with many shops, restaurants, souvenir shops, street performances and concerts. All year round, Marienplatz is a favorite vacation spot for tourists, and on holidays the townspeople come to celebrate important events here. Here are other famous sights of Munich - the Old and New Town Halls. And of course, no trip to Munich is complete without a visit. famous castle Neuschwanstein, which means "new swan rock". It is this fairytale castle served as the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Paris.

Half of the printed and tourist products sold in souvenir shops and print kiosks are products depicting views of Neuschwanstein, which once again confirms that this attraction of Munich is one of the most popular.

When traveling around Munich, be sure to visit the highest Frauenkirche Cathedral, that is, the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin, built in the 14-15th centuries. Climbing up observation deck Cathedral, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Munich and the Alps. beautiful panorama opens from the observation deck of the Peterskirche, the oldest church in Munich with a lantern-shaped dome.

Quite an unusual landmark of Munich is the bronze statue of Bavaria, installed on the Teresa meadow by order of Ludwig I in honor of the Bavarians famous in the field of science and art. Around this statue, the Oktorberfest festival is held.

The oddity of the statue is that it is hollow - you can climb its 66 steps and find yourself inside the head, where the observation deck is located. You will have to admire the views through her eyes.

If you are traveling with children, you might want to visit the Munich Zoo Hellabrunn, the first zoo in the world. Another interesting attraction is the film studio "Bavaria Films", where you can take a tour of the world of cinema, where scenery for famous films will be shown, or take part in the shooting of your own film, as well as visit a 4D movie session.

The German chancellor said in one of her interviews:

If you don't like it in Munich, then I don't know where else in Germany you could like it.

Angela Merkel

One cannot but agree with Mrs. Merkel, because Munich is not only the birthplace of the BMW car and the venue for the Oktoberfest beer festival. In the capital of Bavaria, there is always something to do, something to admire and enjoy - magnificent architectural ensembles, museums, fountains, famous Art Gallery in the Alte Pinakothek and much more, so if you have chosen this city to visit, go to it without hesitation.

• Where to stay: In Munich, famous for its museums, pinakotheks and beer festival, or in cozy Augsburg in the picturesque foothills of the Alps. For fans of “excursions” and romantic landscapes, we recommend cities romantic road Germany, for example,

Every tourist, arriving for the first time in the capital of Bavaria, invariably asks the question - what is a must-see in Munich? where to go first and where to spend interesting free time? Munich is a city that combines modern tendencies metropolis and cultural values rich historical past.

A place that is definitely worth a visit while in Munich is German Museum(Deutsches Museum) and its branches. Museum on the island of the Isar - the most visited in Germany and the largest natural science and technology museum in the world! It is unlikely that you will be able to go around all the halls and see the expositions in one day. It is interesting that many of the exhibits can be touched and also tested in action.

The German Museum has several branches, one of which is the aviation workshops of Schleissheim. The hangars display a variety of aircraft models, from the latest developments to historical aircraft, the restoration of the latter can be observed in special workshops.

IN transport branch of the Deutsches Museum various means of transportation are presented, ranging from the very first cars to models of trains.

And it doesn’t matter what your interests are – you love museums and theaters, spend time shopping or in a street cafe, attend football matches or fun Bavarian holidays. Everyone who comes to Munich will find where to go.

Where to go in Munich in winter?

In the city center there are many cozy cafes and restaurants serving national and European cuisine. They can relax and unwind with friends, have fun. The most popular cafes in the old part of the city Rischart's Backhaus, Cotidiano, CafeT7 and many others.

Bavarian delicacies can be tasted in restaurants and beer pubs. For example, a cozy restaurant is especially popular among city guests. Augustiner am Dom(on the city map), with a wonderful view of. All dishes are made from local products. It serves delicious river trout, grilled Bavarian sausages, which go well with light beer from oak barrels.

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

Oktoberfest, BMW Museum, legendary pubs?! Even for a person indifferent to these cult things for the Germans, travel around Bavaria and to drive past its capital is, at the very least, unnatural.

visit Munich it is possible even in the format of "several hours", if passing through or there is not enough time. Attractions and interesting places very scattered, but a small center you can manage to get around.

Usually for planning a trip to large European cities, which include Munich I'm answering myself a few key questions.

Questions to answer before traveling to Munich

Where will I live?

How many days will I take to 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 places 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, oligarchs' wives and wealthy loafers, we also pass by hostels, hostels and dormitories, which we will 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 the offers of hotels, I found for myself an inexpensive mini-hotel in a quiet area of ​​Munich Trudering, 40-50 minutes drive to the center (bus plus metro), bus stop right outside 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-storey mansion with 4 or 5 rooms. The price is 50 euros for a double, the price includes a luxurious continental breakfast, which easily allows you not to think about eating for hours until 15.00. The atmosphere is more like a home than a hotel.

Second option for those who like to be closer to the center, but you will have to pay extra for this. My friends recommend the hotel Novotel City Munich, not far from the center. Half an hour leisurely walk, in addition, 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 center. Option, it does not happen easier, for the rich and lazy. In five minutes we choose on booking luxury room in a hotel you like 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 the prices of dozens of booking systems - you just have to choose the best offer. In addition, in each article or report, I provide links to hotels in which I have stayed and which I liked.

Munich you can quickly examine in one day, many interesting things and all museums will remain behind the scenes. Everyone decides for himself, based on his preferences.

I think that it is optimal to allocate three days to the city. During this time you can see Top attractions in Munich, the most interesting museums and visit some good pubs.

Sights to see in Munich. Day 1

English garden

Given 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 summertime in Europe or anytime in Asia. Not a single tourist, the locals are doing their own thing, and you are energized before a long tourist day. The English Garden in Munich is the largest and oldest in the world. landscape park. The main attraction of the English Garden – Chinese Tower, beer garden with 7000 seats is located nearby. We leave the beer for the evening program, but for now we move on.

Another attraction in English garden- Monoptera, built in 1836. This is a building with a dome and columns in the Greek style. Everything else English garden- a recreation area for Munich residents, tired of heavy capitalist labor. Here, the entire active part of society - cyclists, football players, musicians, artists and nudists. Nudists even given part of the park.

Marienplatz

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

Architectural masterpieces at Marienplatz

fraunkirche with two towers in the form of bulbs- very typical for Bavaria- the highest church in Munich, only angels are higher than it, therefore it is forbidden to build buildings higher. At the top there is an observation deck, the cost is 1.5 euros.

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

New town hall

Very beautiful building in Gothic style on Marienplatz. The building gives the impression of being very old, although it was built in 1909. There is also an observation deck at a height of 85 meters. You can take the elevator to the observation deck of the Town Hall. In addition, the Town Hall has a very cool clock with bells and figures that represent scenes from life. medieval city under the chiming clock.

Old Town Hall

Located next to New City Hall and 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.

Close to Marienplatz, Karlsplatz is one of central squares Munich, they say unofficially it is named after the legendary beer house Stachus (Sankt-Eustachius). The area is very party, thanks to pedestrian zone Munich, which starts here, the Stachus fountain and large shops. Almost all lines of public transport intersect here.

In the evenings there are dances or concerts in the temple classical music. Depending on your preferences, you can spend from 30 minutes to several hours here. It took me half an hour, especially around Hofgarten there is a whole bunch of attractions.

Odeonsplatz square

Opposite the entrance to the Hofgarten is historical square in Italian style. For those who are tired of German Gothic, here is Theatinerkirche St. Cajetan, 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 of Palazzo Farnese. The square was built in the early 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 the participants of that very Beer putsch of Hitler and the police.

Sights of Munich, what to see. Day 2

Blutenburg Castle

By 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 be photographed against the background of every brick of the castle in all possible poses and angles.

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

Müller's city baths

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

Müller's 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 finishes of the two swimming pools, the Roman-Irish steam room with tubs and hydromassage are among the most beautiful indoor pools in Germany.

Sights of Munich, what to see. Day 3

Probably all three of the attractions below will not be able to be visited in one day, so you will have to sacrifice something.

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

BMW Museum

The building itself BMW Museum- the quintessence of what we call ultra-modern. I'm not talking about what's inside. One of best museums Munich just for the sake of visiting which is worth coming to the city. You can come here in the afternoon - at night there is a very beautiful illumination of the building.

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 do not doubt the strength of Bavaria. I recommend going even to people far from football, if only because of the architecture, the atmosphere or the light show that takes place every evening at 21.30. You can get there by metro, line U6.

For fans FC "Bavaria"- fabulous interactive museum club.

Zoo

I don’t know if there is time for the Zoo, but without it, the review of the most interesting things in Munich will be incomplete. Besides, I have a weakness for zoos, and Munich is no exception. old zoo, founded already in 1911. And here, as elsewhere in Europe, the conditions for keeping animals are as close as possible to natural environment a 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 looks like many European zoos, so if you are not a big fan, you can change it to the BMW Museum.

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 - it remains for us to choose the best offer. In addition, in each article or report, I provide links to hotels in which I have stayed and which I liked. The budget version of aviasales.ru, the aggregator that I myself use. The service selects the most advantageous offers - you just have to choose the best one 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 the choice both among budget local operators and among world leaders in car rental, no commissions and best price among competitors. Of the additional advantages - easy site navigation, multilingualism, reliability tested by hundreds of thousands of travelers. I recommend it.

All news and articles I broadcast on the page LifeIsTravel V
