Top Munich Attractions You Can't Miss

Iconic Sights to Hidden Gems

Guided bike tour with Fat Tire Tours Munich — city highlights & Englischer Garten

A social, guided bike tour that covers central sights and a scenic ride through Englischer Garten including the Chinese Tower area. Bikes, helmet, and bottled water are usually included; the guide will pace for the group and stop for photos.

Guided food walking tour — taste hidden neighborhood gems

A local guide leads a food walking tour through Altstadt and a nearby neighborhood sampling sausages, cheeses, sweets and local stories about Munich's Christmas food traditions.

Stroll the Englischer Garten & watch the Eisbach surfers

Post-lunch stroll to the Eisbach wave area to watch the surfers — an iconic Munich summer sight. Perfect for relaxed photos and people-watching before the afternoon activity.

Sunset moment at Olympiaberg (Olympiapark)

Climb Olympiaberg for one of Munich’s best informal sunset viewpoints — bring a small blanket and a bottle to toast the city skyline as the sun lowers.

Marienplatz & Glockenspiel (watch at 11:00)

Short, flat stroll to Munich's historic central square. Watch the Glockenspiel show at 11:00 from a comfortable spot in the square; the square itself is largely step‑free (cobble surface).

Alte Pinakothek — relaxed art viewing with seating

Visit one of Munich's great art museums. The museum offers elevators, benches in galleries, and a measured route so you can see highlights without long walks.

Local Tips from the travel experts

Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Munich to help you make the most of your visit.

"Aim to see the Glockenspiel performance (check local times) — arrive a few minutes early to stand where you can both see comfortably.Take the quieter alleys toward the east side of the square for couple photos away from the main foot-traffic.If mobility is a concern, there are benches at the edges of the square and nearby cafés for a relaxed viewing."

Stroll and clock show at Marienplatz (Neues Rathaus)

"Reserve ahead during December — ask for a table away from the main entry to avoid drafts and the loud queue area.Order a half‑portion if you're sampling many dishes over the trip; portions are generous.Ask the staff about vegetarian/vegan versions of classics (many taverns offer a seasonal vegetarian ragout or dumpling without meat)."

Dinner — Augustiner Bräustuben (traditional Bavarian tavern)

"Reserve a table in advance (bench seating) and request a single bill if you want to split evenly later.Try family-style ordering: 1–2 mains per 3 people plus a shared side and beer pitchers to reduce per-person costs.If anyone wants quieter seating, ask for an indoor table; benches outside are festive but louder in high season."

Dinner at Augustiner-Keller — traditional Bavarian feast for groups

"Aim to snag benches together — arriving as a group helps; if a bench is full, sitting at the end usually works since locals rotate.Bring cash for the traditional beer deposit/measure and smaller food stands; some counters accept cards but not all.Order a couple of large shareable platters (roast chicken, sausages, salads) so the table can taste different classics without high per-person cost."

Short walk to the Beer Garden at the Chinese Tower (Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm)

"Kids & allergies: ask staff for the kids’ menu and allergen information — they are used to adjusting dishes for common allergies.Seating: request a corner booth when possible (easier with a stroller and gives toddlers space to move).Order hack: share a small side and a main to avoid waste; give kids a low-sugar dessert option if they’re accustomed to sweets."

Lunch at Hans im Glück (Marienplatz) – kid-friendly menu

"Play area note: the playground nearest the Chinesischer Turm is well-maintained with safe surfaces — ideal for toddlers and preschoolers.Facilities: there are family restrooms and changing stations near the main beer garden area; scope them out on arrival to save time later.Weather & shade: May in Munich can be sunny; bring a hat and a light layer — there are plenty of trees for shade and calm picnic spots on the turf."

Englischer Garten & Chinesischer Turm playground and lawn play

"Mention any dietary restrictions when booking so the guide can adjust stops (vegetarian/vegan/gluten‑free options are often available).Bring a compact umbrella and an extra layer — tours continue in light snow and may include outdoor tastings.Ask your guide for local baker names and the best stalls for take‑home gifts — guides usually provide insider vendor contacts."

Guided food walking tour — taste hidden neighborhood gems

"Reserve a table and request a table on the ground floor or near the entrance for step‑free access.Dallmayr is spacious; ask staff for quieter seating away from the counter if you prefer a calmer ambiance.If mobility is limited, ask staff about the nearest accessible restroom and they will direct you to lift access if needed."

Calm sit‑down lunch at Dallmayr

"Stand on the bridge for the best photos of the surfers — keep your group compact so you don’t block pedestrian flow.Pick up an ice cream from a nearby vendor and walk along the stream to cool off — sharing one scoop per person works great for groups.If anyone wants to swim, note that the main surfers' section is for experienced surfers only and it’s not a swimming area; avoid going into the channel."
