Good to know

Is the Olympiaturm worth visiting?

Yes, for the wide view over the park and city; it shares its site with the Olympiapark, so the two fit together as one unhurried morning and early afternoon.

How long do you need at the Deutsches Museum?

Two hours, if you choose a couple of halls and skip the rest. The museum is large and rewards focus over coverage on a relaxed trip.

What makes the Englischer Garten special?

It is an expansive urban park; in June its lawns, beer gardens and the surfers on the Eisbach give it plenty to watch for an afternoon.

Why start the day at the Viktualienmarkt?

Mornings are the calmest time before the crowds gather, and the market is the natural first step toward the Isartor and the Deutsches Museum.

Is the Theresienwiese the Oktoberfest grounds?

Yes, this large square hosts Munich's autumn beer festival. In September it may be set up or busy, which is why this route visits it first thing in the morning.

How much time do you need at the Munich Residence?

This route gives the Residence an hour and a half, which suits the sweep of its ceremonial rooms without stretching the day.
