A NOTE ON MUNICH ENTRY TICKETS:
Honestly, Munich is still pretty old school, so for many attractions (e.g. Residenz, St Peter's Tower, Olympic Tower, all Pinakothek museums) you just walk up and pay on the day-of. There isn't even a possibility to book online!
Here are some of that you CAN book:
Neues Rathaus Tower: www.munich.travel/en/offers/b...
Frauenkirche Tower: www.munich.travel/en/offers/b...
Deutsches Museum: www.deutsches-museum.de/en/mu...
Pretty Law Library Tour {Affiliate Link}: www.getyourguide.com/munich-l...
Olympic Stadium Roof Climb & Zipline (Can only reserve online, but still pay in-person): www.touren-olympiapark.de/
BMW Museum: tkts.bmw-welt.com/en

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy today's video all about the best things to do in Munich. Let me know in the comments if there are any other activities you'd add, and as I mentioned in the video, you can find the link for my free map at the end :) PS sorry for the slightly later upload this week!! I was busy prepping for my big 6 month adventure in Europe so was panic packing, panic moving and then panic flying... but here I am. Greetings from the UK, and you can follow what I'm up to here on Instagram: instagram.com/happytowander/

[@sunflowerfields4409]

WOW! 6 months? I'm not jealous at all.... ;) I'm going to make the most of my week.

Thank you so much for all the presented information! You make traveling not so overwhelming.

[@HappyWalkingTour]

Very comprehensive, if not the most comprehensive guide on Munich. Wonderful work. Thanks so much.

[@LockieScott]

I've lived in Munich for two years and I'm a tour guide here and I must say these are the best tips and places to visit I've seen in a video, some real locals tips that I'm sure you'll annoy locals a bit by giving them away. You can really tell that you've spent a long time living here and great job! Even some spots I've added to my must visit list as well!

[@Saideep95]

[@Ducati368]

[@SohailGVlogs]

Assalamu Alaikum sister Mashallah amazing sharing Allah bless you and your family ❤️

[@ryyaannn_]

i just need to know if they serve cocktails/liquor as well as beer 😩😩 i’m not a beer person at all lol

[@HappytoWander]

All bars will have cocktails and liquor! Beer gardens are trickier - some less traditional ones might offer cocktail options like an Aperol spritz but this isn’t super common. That said, there’s always soft drinks as a fallback! If it’s not an allergy and you just don’t enjoy the taste of beer, try ordering a Radler. It’s basically a mix of beer and citrus soda (eg Sprite) and is super tasty, refreshing and not too beer-like. Also, again, assuming it’s not an allergy - just have an open mind! Bavarian beer is SO good. I wasn’t much of a beer person before I moved there and I was converted lol.

[@AlisonCherowitzo-sn7jn]

I wish the transcript/closed captioning had correct spelling of these attractions. 😢

[@HappytoWander]

Oops sorry about that - just fixed them!! They should be correct now :) Hope that helps!

[@AlisonCherowitzo-sn7jn]
