The 4-day plan, rearranged for 2 days: the best-ranked places stay, and each day keeps to one part of town.
Late September to the first Sunday of October. Dates change every year, so check ahead for the one you are going.
From average weather, 2021 to 2025: days that are warm but not hot, with few rainy days, score highest. Crowds and prices change through the year, so check them before you book.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
A daily open air market of fruit, cheese, sausages, flowers and spices, with a maypole and a shady beer garden at its heart. A good place to try small things standing up.
Go when Late morning, when the stalls are busy.
Local tip Walk the stalls once and then choose. Small portions of cheese, radish, bread and sausage make a good lunch. Ask before you take a picture of a stallholder.
One of the biggest city parks in the world, with lawns, a stream, paths for bikes and a wooden pagoda with a beer garden beneath it. At the south end, surfers may wait their turn on a standing river wave.
Go when Midday, for a long walk and lunch under the trees.
Local tip In many traditional beer gardens you may bring your own food, but check the sign on the table. The river wave is a place to watch, not to swim, since the current is strong.
Beer gardens are shaded places with long tables under chestnut trees. In many traditional ones you may bring your own food and buy only a drink, so check the sign at your table.
Local tip Bring something to share, and leave the table clean when you go.
The old palace of the rulers of Bavaria, with many courtyards, a treasury and a long series of richly painted rooms. A rainy day stop, and a cool one on a hot day.
Go when Afternoon, as a calm indoor stop.
Local tip Pick one part, such as the treasury or the long rooms, rather than all of it. The rooms are cool, and the courtyards are quiet.
A huge museum of science and technology on an island in the Isar, with old aircraft, ships, mines, instruments and workshops. Choose two or three halls, since there is too much to see in a day.
Go when Afternoon, as an indoor stop.
Local tip Pick two or three halls and skip the rest. Take a seat in one of the quieter galleries when your feet need it.
Kasspatzn, soft egg noodles layered with melted cheese and topped with crisp onions, a Bavarian comfort dish. Cafes around the square serve it after a long day.
Local tip It is rich, so share a green salad. Tell the staff about any allergy first.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
The main square of Munich, with the neo-Gothic New Town Hall and its clock tower, where figures move at set times. Check ahead for the times, and stand back from the busiest corner.
Go when Morning, before the square fills with tour groups.
Local tip Look up at the clock tower and then at the figures on the Mary column. Check ahead for the times the figures move, and watch your bag in the crowd.
The summer palace of the rulers of Bavaria, with a long, curved front, a canal and a huge park behind it. The park is usually open to walk and the palace rooms are ticketed, so check ahead.
Go when Morning, when the park is calm.
Local tip Walk the long canal behind the palace first, and decide there whether to go inside. The park is large, so wear comfortable shoes.
Grilled bratwurst in a crusty roll with mustard, sold from stands and kiosks. A fast lunch before the museum or the festival.
Local tip Tell the vendor about any allergy, and eat it right away while it is hot.
The big meadow west of the center where the festival is held. At noon on opening day the mayor usually taps the first keg and calls out a Bavarian phrase, and the tents begin to serve. The grounds are crowded, and entry rules, hours and reservations differ by year. Check ahead.
Go when Opening day, before noon. On a weekday, any time of day.
Local tip Tents often fill by late morning on weekends, and entry and reservations differ by year, so check ahead. Wear comfortable shoes, carry little, and drink water between beers.
A giant bronze woman with a lion, standing in front of a hall of fame on the hill at the west edge of the grounds. A salute is usually fired from the steps below on opening day. A stair may lead inside the statue, so check ahead.
Go when Afternoon, on the way off the grounds.
Local tip The statue stands above the festival, and the hall behind it is a calm place to sit. If the stair inside is open, it is narrow and steep, so check ahead.
By average weather from 2021 to 2025, May to October are the most comfortable months for walking around Munich. This plan is built for late September, which is one of the best months. Crowds and prices change through the year, so check them before you book.
