I will be going to Munich in September. Can you suggest some good day trips from Munich? |
Travel Info I will be travelling by train. If you know of any interesting towns or villages, please recommend them and perhaps you could tell me a little bit about them. Thanks! Travel Tips Hi, you've picked one of the best destinations in Germany. Apart from a lot that you should see in the city you should plan on a trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, located on the very south in the Alps. Lovely resort town with a few mountains to hike on (take Hausberg, access is easy and there's a good watering hole on top of it with ample space to relax). Or walk around Eibsee (lovely deep water lake in the mountains, takes you about 2 hrs to walk around). Garmisch is a US Army base, lots of people who speak English. About 2 hrs away is Salzburg in Austria, definitely worth a day trip. If you need a visa for Europe your Schengen Visa will also allow you entry into Austria. Also nice and much nearer is Starnberg (accessible by S-Bahn, the local commuting train system). Starnberg is also in the south but closer to Munich. Personally, I love Spitzingsee but you won't get there by train. Go to Ammersee and check for busses. Other close-by destinations are Chiemsee with Mainau island (2 hrs), Reit im Winkl (very lovely little town deep in the mountains - 2-3 hrs) and Neuschwanstein castle (2 hrs, same direction) On the more serious side, take a trip to Dachau and see the remains of the concentration camp from the Nazi era but be prepared to see some really shocking stuff. Dachau is in the north west, about 1 hr to go. Nothing else to see there. In Munich itself, don't miss the Oktoberfest which will take place in September, visit beer gardens, see the city center with lots of historical buildings, visit Deutsches Museum (if you're in technics, also see BMW Museum) and enjoy the relatively easy going lifestyle (for german standards) of the Bavarians. Wish you a great trip. |
