Munich in two days

We%26#39;re transiting Munich in August and will be there for two full days (three nights). I need advice how to use these days. I was planning to go around the place on the first evening when we%26#39;re reaching and next day also. Another day, I was thinking to go to Fuessen or Chiemsee. I%26#39;m in two minds whether to go to Chiemsee or Fuessen.

From Munich, we%26#39;ll be going to Berchtesgaden and Lake Konigsee also. Thereafter, will see Salzburg.

In this context, can someone advice me what to do in Munich?

Thanks in advance.

There%26#39;s lots to do and see in Munich, so it%26#39;s rather difficult to select just a few things for a short visit without knowing your interests, taking into account that you also want to squeeze in a daytrip to Neuschwanstein (I suppose that is why you mentioned Fuessen).

Chiemsee would be on the way to Berchtesgaden and Salzburg, so I wouldn%26#39;t go there as a daytrip from Munich and then travel the same direction again the next day to get to Berchtesgaden.

For your day in Munich you could start in the morning by taking tram 16 or 17 from Hauptbahnhof to Romanplatz (less than 15 minutes ride) to visit Schloss Nymphenburg. Then take tram 12 from Romanplatz to Scheidplatz and then U3 from Scheidplatz to Olympiapark (about 35 minutes ride) to visit the park of the 1972 olympics where you could go up the tower (about 200m high) for nice views of Munich and the mountains in the distance. Then take the U3 back into town, maybe stop at Universität to walk through the Englischer Garten to get back to the central area around Marienplatz.

That%26#39;s just one idea of what you could do, but maybe you have other interests, so it would probably be better if you tried to find out yourself what you would like to see by browsing through guidebooks and also this forum, then ask more pointed questions on how to realize your itinary.

I was just there and didn%26#39;t think too much of Olympia Park; a lot of walking and not much to see. Schloss Nymphemburg was worthwhile, however, as is the English Garden. Marienplatz and the nearby Viktualienmarkt are worth your time. Viktualienmarkt is an outdoor vendor%26#39;s market with lots of fantastic foods and a beer garden. You%26#39;ll get a good taste of real-life Munich.

..if youre into retro architecture then you will enjoy the Olympiapark... its great for a stroll esp in autumn... there is more to the Olympiapark than sitting on a choo choo train and being trolleyed around the lake... if youre on time budget and the weather is good then rent a bike... so easy and distances are short... The Olympic village is my back yard... Its one of the few villages in the world that have successfully transitioned from an olympic venue in to a residential neighbourhood... its all under %26#39;Denkmalschutz%26#39; ie protected and cannot be altered/modified. If you get bored you can then easily cruise off to the BMW museum, nymphenburg castle, down nymphenburgerstrasse have a beer at the Lowenbrau, then back on ya bike to the Englischer Garten for some nude sunbathing along the Isar (after a few beers in the gardens), watch the surfing at Eisbach, then back to Marienplatz/Viktualienmarkt for some nice food and people watching... Prost

Schloss Nymphenburg is something I would definitely recommend as well as the Residenz. But it does depend on what interests you and what you%26#39;d like to see.

Thanks for advices. These are really helpful.

We%26#39;re definitely interested to see some historical monuments like castles, cathedrals, which we don%26#39;t see in our country.

Apart from this, we like to take a stroll in the street and malls to feel the city. We really love to try local foods. We%26#39;ll be reaching around 9 pm in the evening and are staying very close to Munich Hbf. Can some one suggest close by places where we can try food around that time?

With these helps, I think we%26#39;ll be able to built up a plan.
