Day 2: Delve into Munich’s glorious past

Spend the day wandering through Munich’s lively boulevards and charming streets, taking in the city’s vibrant atmosphere. Pause for a hearty Bavarian meal and a locally brewed beer (or two), savoring the flavors that define this spirited culture. Conclude your day with a glimpse into royal grandeur of the Wittelsbach family at the Munich Residenz.

Day 3: Day trip into nature

Today includes two options for exploring Munich’s foothills and mountains. Just beyond the city, Garmisch-Partenkirchen offers a breathtaking escape into the Bavarian Alps—an unforgettable retreat in any season. Or step into a fairytale at Neuschwanstein Castle, King Ludwig II’s iconic masterpiece that inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.

Day 4: Free day

There’s always more to discover in Munich. Spend the day at your own pace, exploring the city’s rich mix of culture, history, and local charm. For a taste of Oktoberfest spirit year-round, stop by the Hofbräuhaus for lively music and world-class beer. You could wander through the serene English Garden, visit the fascinating BMW Museum, or join one of the many walking tours that reveal the city’s hidden gems.

Day 5: Day trip through history

Two powerful day trips from Munich offer a deeper look into Bavaria’s past. Visit the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial for a moving and educational experience, or journey to Nuremberg, where medieval charm and profound history blend in a city of resilience and classical charm.

Your final day in Munich has arrived—a bittersweet moment to savor every last experience.
