Top Spots to Visit in Munich
Munich New Town Hall 🏰
Located right on Marienplatz (Marienplatz 8, 80331 München), this neo-gothic landmark is a true masterpiece. Make sure you swing by between 10:00-19:00 (Mon-Sat) or 10:00-17:00 (Sunday) to catch the Glockenspiel show. Pro tip: Early mornings on weekends are the best—less crowd, more local flavor! Morning strolls around nearby town markets let you soak up Munich’s buzzing energy and score fresh baked goods for breakfast. By exploring the square when most tourists are still asleep, you’ll get gorgeous photos and maybe join a local market dance if you’re lucky.
Munich Market Experience 🥨
If you’re arriving during the weekend, head out early to the local markets before the brunch rush. Discover handmade Bavarian treats, fresh produce, and street performances. You’ll want to start here before heading to New Town Hall—the market scene is vibrant and makes for perfect people-watching.
Pro Tips & Essentials
Getting Around: Munich’s metro (U-Bahn) gets you everywhere with ease! Grab a day ticket to save time and cash.
Food Recs: Try warm pretzels from market stalls and classic schnitzel at nearby cafés.
Travel Hacks: Visit big attractions right at opening for shorter lines and better photos. Weather can be chilly, so layer up, especially for early strolls.
