5 days in Munich Itinerary

Often described as the city of laptops and lederhosen, Munich is an international center of business, engineering, research, and medicine that still maintains a rich cultural heritage and age-old traditions.

Escape the urban bustle at Eibsee and Ferchensee Lake. Museum-lovers will get to explore Audi Museum and Alte Pinakothek. Change things up with these side-trips from Munich: Altstadt von Fuessen (in Fussen), Schloss Linderhof (in Ettal) and Walhalla (in Donaustauf). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Cathedral of St Peter's, step into the grandiose world of Schloss Hohenschwangau, admire the landmark architecture of Asamkirche, and hunt for treasures at Viktualienmarkt.
