Munich exudes Bavarian charm. Beer fanatics should head immediately to the Hofbräuhaus, a hops heaven that’s been churning out the good stuff since 1589. The drinking is downright legendary during Oktoberfest, a celebration of local beers and German specialty foods. Emulate world-class athletes at the Olympiapark, where skating on the Olympic ice rink will make you feel like a champion. The promenade of Marienplatz is perfect for people watching and gawking at the Glockenspiele of City Hall.

It is very easy to reach Munich by metro as a special Airport line connects you to Munich’s main train station within 45 minutes. If you have more than 1 person in your group make sure to buy the 19.60 € group ticket from the ticket machine to save money. It covers a group up to 5 not only to get to central Munich, but also for all of the inner city buses, trams, and subway lines for the rest of the day.
Getting Around
The Metro is great with a numerous modern lines crisscrossing the city and even a tram line that connects the cities main park, the English Garden. For the most part you’ll probably only need to Metro if connecting to either of the train stations or the airport for connecting to other cities.
