Munich Sightseeing and Excursion Links

From: Munich, Germany

The Glockenspiel of Munich's Neues Rathaus (New City Hall) isn't as old as it looks: The building, including the mechanical clock, was completed in the early 1900s.

Tour the town on a two-wheeler, or keep both feet on the ground with a walking tour. (Michael Lasher's site is also a useful source of online maps and other tourist information.)

If you'd like to venture outside Munich, read:

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site europeforvisitors.com
The first of Nazi Germany's death camps is in the Munich suburbs, and it's easy to reach by S-Bahn. You can take a guided tour or explore the camp and its museum on your own.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen europeforvisitors.com
Germany's top alpine resort has world-class skiing and snowboarding, hiking trails, and other activities to keep you busy in winter or summer. It's also a convenient base for day trips to Oberammergau, Mittenwald, and villages in neighboring Austria.

Zugspitze europeforvisitors.com
No trip to the Bavarian Alps is complete without a cogwheel-railway and cablecar ascent of Germany's highest mountain near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Come for skiing, snowboarding, and spectacular year-round views of four countries.

Salzburg, Austria is also worth a visit, and it's only a two-hour trip from Munich. See my Salzburg article and Cheryl Imboden's Switzerland & Austria Travel Planner: Salzburg for more information on Austria's prettiest city.
