Múnich, la capital de Baviera, es el hogar de muchas de las tradiciones alemanas por excelencia del país: cada septiembre, el famoso Oktoberfest llega a la ciudad. Pero los festivales, los lederhosen y las cervecerías son solo una pequeña parte de la historia de la ciudad y la región. La arquitectura de Múnich brilla en palacios como Nymphenburg y castillos como Residenz, y hay muchos edificios igualmente fascinantes repartidos por Múnich. En Marienplatz, la plaza central de la ciudad, los ayuntamientos antiguos y nuevos compiten por la atención. La Iglesia de San Pedro (Peterskirche), una estructura románica, fue construida incluso antes de la fundación de la ciudad en 1158. Obtenga una idea del diseño de la ciudad, las principales atracciones y el contexto histórico en una visita guiada, con todo, desde caminar hasta andar en bicicleta y Segway a recorridos en autobús con paradas libres disponibles. Los visitantes también pueden disfrutar del Jardín Inglés, un enorme parque con “zonas urbanas desnudas“ (sí, espere algunos mirones en el buff) y un jardín de cerveza junto al lago. Por supuesto, también querrá explorar las ofertas de Bavaria fuera de Munich. Los recorridos turísticos a los castillos reales de Neuschwanstein, inspiración para el Castillo de la Bella Durmiente de Disney, y Linderhof son especialmente populares, y los guías brindan información histórica que de otro modo no podría escuchar. Los viajes de medio día al Memorial del campo de concentración de Dachau llevan a los visitantes al primer campo de concentración nazi en Alemania, y se pueden combinar con un recorrido por el Tercer Reich de Múnich. Al otro lado de la frontera en Austria, le esperan las delicias de la nativa Salzburgo de Mozart.
It won’t come as a surprise that the busiest time of year is fall—when over 7 million travelers descend on Munich for Oktoberfest. This world-famous festival has brass bands, circus acts, rides, processions—and of course, beer. If you want to skip the crowds, then come in spring for Frühlingsfest; a smaller and more chilled-out version of Oktoberfest. Summer is also a great time for beer gardens and hiking in the Alpine foothills—but watch out for high peak season prices.
Munich is known for being a very walkable city, so the first option should be exploring its highlights on foot, as the most important city landmarks are within close proximity of each other. To venture further afield, the city has great public transport options; you can travel on the S-Bahn (light rail), the U-Bahn (subway), by bus, or tram (Strassenbahn). Get tickets from vending machines at stations, or buy tram/bus tickets from the driver when you board.
A lot of travelers are caught out by the fact that most shops (including supermarkets) are closed on Sundays. To stay entertained, and fill the shopping void, a museum trip is a great backup; the city has a special €1 entry deal to museums, just on Sundays. There are over 80 different museums to choose from; some of the best are the BMW Museum, the Residenz Museum, and there’s even a Beer and Oktoberfest Museum.
Munich is known for beer, and its famed Oktoberfest, which begins in mid-September, is the pinnacle. The well-known Hofbräuhaus tavern serves more than a million visitors yearly with ales, lagers, and giant German soft pretzels. Munich is also known for its architecture, with spots like the Marienplatz steeped in history.
...MásYou’ll want at least three full days in Munich, though, to properly tour the city’s 16th-century architecture, biergartens, and world-class museums, you may want a week. Consider using the city as a Bavarian hub for day trips to spots such as Neuschwanstein Castle and Salzburg, Austria.
...MásVisitors have choices: Kick back with a Hofbräu Dunkel in the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus, tour the BMW Welt and Museum, take a walking tour of WWII sites including Munich Old Town Hall, and wander the English Garden, Marienplatz, and Deutsches Museum. Of course, that’s just the tip of the schnitzel.
...MásThe acclaimed Munich Oktoberfest ends early in the month, so autumn is about more than beer here. Explore the city’s gardens (Nymphenburg Palace Park), walking paths, and markets (the daily Victuals Market). On rainy days, head to Munich's Kunstareal arts district for your pick of incredible art museums and galleries.
...MásNo. Munich has never been the capital of Germany. That title has mostly belonged to Berlin (though Bonn was the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1990). Munich, however, is the capital of Bavaria, a state in southeast Germany known for its beer, sausage, and lederhosen—and lake views.
...MásYes and no. Before the pandemic, Munich had nearly nine million visitors a year—with a robust tourist scene, regardless of season. The city’s most popular hotels, museums, and attractions are geared toward global visitors, but it’s still easy to go off-the-beaten path for more authentic experiences.
