Munich in One Day: Royal Palaces, Beer Gardens and Bavarian Charm

A perfect day in Munich starts at the heart of the city, Marienplatz. Watch the famous Glockenspiel show at the New Town Hall before heading to the nearby Frauenkirche for sweeping views of the city. Then, explore Nymphenburg Palace, a baroque masterpiece surrounded by elegant gardens. If you're into museums, do not miss the Deutsches Museum, one of the world’s largest science and technology museums. In the afternoon, stroll through the English Garden, where locals sunbathe, paddle, and even surf. Stop by the Chinese Tower Beer Garden for a relaxed Bavarian lunch. Wrap up your day at the iconic Hofbräuhaus, where traditional music and massive beer steins set the tone for a memorable evening.
