Munich on foot or by bike

We have created a map that shows the most worth seeing places in Munich.

With the public transport you can go to the station Hauptbahnhof. If you should find a parking place with your car, enter Sophienstraße 7 in 80333 Munich.

So you start at the old botanical garden, a beautiful place of nature and botanical variety. Further on you go in direction Königsplatz. The historical Munich Athens, with its classicistic and powerful architecture. Here you can, if you want, visit a few meters further the old Pinakothek and the Pinakothek der Moderne. Beautiful art, for a small entrance fee of €5,00 - €7,00. Sundays only €1,00.

Via the beautiful Briennerstraße we continue on to the Residence, where King Ludwig of Bavaria and Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen were married. The surrounding Hofgarten is a fairytale Renaissance garden!

Via Ludwigstraße, past the Ludwig-Maximilians-University and the historic Geschwister-Scholl-Platz, the route leads to the overwhelming Siegestor. This separates Ludwigstraße from the busy Leopoldstraße, with many cafés, bars and restaurants, where you could also take a short break.

A little to-go food is definitely not a mistake, because whenever along Leopoldstraße you can turn right and enjoy one of the world's largest city parks - the English Garden.

Whatever your park adventures are, then you can walk on to the famous Eisbach wave in the Prinzregentenstraße. There, no matter what season, the Munich people surf. Passing the Haus der Kunst, we head towards the Hofbräuhaus - famous for Bavarian beer culture. The tour continues to the gourmet paradise, the Viktualienmarkt. In all weathers you will find culinary snack stands, fresh fruit and exotic spices.

The last stop is Marienplatz, where Munich's city hall is located. Although the famous carillon is usually only in the mornings - between March and October it is also at 5 pm.

From here you can either walk back to your car or take the S-Bahn or U-Bahn at Marienplatz.

Another very nice alternative to a city culture trip is a relaxed walk along the Isar river. The golden angel of peace, many romantic bridges, the Maximilianeum, the Praterinsel to linger on, the Museuminsel with the famous Deutsches Museum or the green spring grounds for sunbathing.
