The old town is compact and the museum quarter is a short walk north. The fixed stops are Munich landmarks; events in the plan are live listings for this weekend.
Sights are real places from our map; events are live listings for these dates and change daily. Check opening hours and tickets before you go.

Where to stay
Where to stay in Munich
A few neighbourhoods that suit this plan, and what each is like. We don't list hotels, the links open a normal hotel search for that area.
Altstadt & Lehel
Marienplatz, the Residenz, the opera and Viktualienmarkt on foot. The most central choice, and the priciest.
Maxvorstadt
The museum quarter with the Pinakotheken and the university: cafés, bookshops and a short walk to the old town and the English Garden.
Haidhausen
Across the Isar from the Deutsches Museum: quiet squares, playgrounds and the river banks, a few S-Bahn stops from the centre.
We have no partnership with these sites and earn nothing from bookings. Check prices, reviews and cancellation terms yourself.
