top attractions
Munich is packed with sights that combine tradition, culture, and a love for life. One of the most iconic places in the city is the Hofbräuhaus, a legendary beer hall where traditional live music, hearty Bavarian food, and freshly brewed beer create an atmosphere you won’t forget. Yes, it’s touristy – but in the best way.
At the heart of the city lies Marienplatz, surrounded by impressive historic buildings. The Glockenspiel of the New Town Hall is a popular highlight, and the square becomes a hotspot for events all year round – from the magical Christmas Market in winter to huge football celebrations when FC Bayern Munich secures another title.
For something truly unique, head to the Eisbach wave at the entrance to the English Garden. Surfers have been riding this standing wave for over 40 years – in the middle of the city, in every season, and in all weather conditions. It’s a spectacular sight that draws crowds of fascinated visitors every single day.
