Sightseeing in Munich: discover things that are worth seeing

Attractions in Munich

Munich city centre offers some of Munich’s famous attractions, such as the Frauenkirche (cathedral), Marienplatz and Altes Rathaus (main square and Old Town Hall), the Allianz Arena (football stadium), BMW Welt and Olympiapark (Olympic Park) in the north of the city, and the Kunstareal (museum area) with its world-famous museums – to name but a few. Magnificent buildings and architectural highlights are every bit as awe-inspiring as the many animals in the city zoo. If you feel like a walk, you can stroll through the Nymphenburg Schlosspark (palace park) or the Englischer Garten and watch the surfers on the Eisbach wave. If you book a guided tour, a certified guide will accompany you to Munich’s most beautiful attractions.
