What to see in Munich

1. Marienplatz & Neues Rathaus
   Marienplatz is the beating heart of Munich, a broad square where locals, strollers and street musicians cross paths beneath the intricate neo-Gothic façade of the Neues Rathaus.
2. Englischer Garten
   This huge park on the edge of central Munich blends meadows, streams and shaded paths, and locals come as much to stroll as to meet friends.
3. Deutsches Museum
   Set on an island in the Isar, the Deutsches Museum turns science and technology into something you do rather than just read about: you walk into a recreated mine, pass beneath aircraft wings and stop at live demonstrations.
4. Schloss Nymphenburg
   The summer residence of the Wittelsbach family, Nymphenburg offers a Baroque façade of remarkable breadth, extended by a vast landscaped park of canals, lakes and pavilions.
5. Viktualienmarkt
   In the heart of Munich, this open-air market brings together stalls of fresh produce, cheese, cured meats, flowers and spices around a beer garden shaded by chestnut trees.
6. Alte Pinakothek
   The Alte Pinakothek houses the painting collection built up by the Wittelsbach family, covering European art from the 13th to the 18th century.
7. Hofbräuhaus
   Founded in 1589 as the brewery of the Bavarian ducal court, the Hofbräuhaus is one of Munich's oldest institutions.
8. Augustiner-Keller
   Augustiner-Keller is a traditional beer garden in Munich, open since the first half of the 19th century, where the beer is poured by Augustiner-Bräu, the oldest brewery in the city.
