I don’t normally recommend touristy areas but every time I go to Munich, I have to take the Ubahn to Marienplatz and come up the subway stairs and there is the grand Rathaus-Glockenspiel bigger than life, very impressive, even if seen many times, so do that.
While in the BMW museum area, go to my friends ice cream shop - Sweet Monkeys, If you do go, ask for Peter or Stephanie and tell them Marty from Binghamton sent you. Their ice cream is the best I have ever had anywhere in the world, Peter makes it all himself. Here is the address, its not far from the museum .. .Haidelweg 13, 81241 Pasing, Munich
This is their FB page https://www.facebook.com/SweetMonkey...Eisvergnuegen/
Near BMW world is the Olympic Tower in the Olympic Park, go to the top, that will give you great photo opportunities, not only of BMW world but also Munich as its something like 900 ft high. If you like pork, you’ll have plenty of opportunities :-) and if you would like to try their pork knuckle, two of my favorites are the Haxnbauer which is just around the corner from the Glockenspiel and one a bit further away called Andechs monastery brewery, good food, beer and a fun time.
Schloss Nymphenburg is worth going to if you like that sort of thing, check it out. Right around the corner from the Glockenspiel is the Viktualienmarkt, both tourists and locals go their, its a large farmers market, lots to eat, drink and see. Munich’s Ubahn is easy to use and gets you anywhere you might want to go. |
I did all these same thing. Lots of fun. Also the Siemens museum is good.
