Azamkirhe

This church is considered one of the most beautiful architectural creations of the city. The baroque building is lavishly decorated with stucco molding and a white-golden façade. It seems that such an enchanting world was transferred from the ball into the real one: its luxurious, but at the same time fragile appearance is so incredible. Inside the church, too, nothing can disappoint: the interior, replete with gold-colored objects and its pastel colors, create a harmony that allows you to plunge into the atmosphere of a fantastic castle.

Tourists are amazed at the interior decoration, because the interiors seem to be the work of skilled craftsmen who meticulously painted them by hand with the finest brush.

Lovers of outdoor activities like to spend time here. You can also explore the northern and southern parts of the garden by riding a bike. The park is also visited by surfers.

It is easy to walk from Marienplatz in just 5-10 minutes. Like other parks, you can get here around the clock, it is free.

Bavarian Archaeological Museum

This museum is positioned as a “museum of early archeology.” Its main focus is ancient archeology and the history of Bavaria, which is even separated into a separate section. Exhibits that are younger than the 14th century are incredibly difficult to find. The Archaeological Museum was founded in the 19th century; for some period it served as a repository of paleontological objects found during excavations. This collection grew rapidly, in connection with which it was decided to separate it into a separate building.

The museum has its own restoration and archaeological group – they carry out excavations and, subsequently, restoration. The collection of this museum is one of the best in Germany. For example, there are several rare and entertaining halls here: “The Great Migration of Nations” and “The Age of the Celts”, which contain many unique exhibits.

Schloss-Bluetenburg

How to unravel the numerous mysteries of the country's ancient castles, as well as listen to mysterious legends? To do this, you can visit, for example, Schloss-Blutenburg, which is known for the story of forbidden love that happened between an ordinary girl and the duke's heir himself. The father could not accept the choice of his son, because of which he sent him away to relatives, and the girl was brought to trial with accusations of witchcraft. Also, the palace is able to charm with its local surroundings. The amok was originally built in the 13th century.

The inhabitants called this castle “Castle of Blood”. What does the name of the castle mean? It is unknown and will most likely forever remain a mystery. Schloss-Blutenburg is famous not only for its heartbreaking love stories, but also for its location between 2 lakes, amazing late Gothic buildings and a good library. You can get to the palace on the S2 to the Obermenzing station, from where you need to walk a few blocks along the Verdistraße.

Exact location: Seldweg, 81247 Munchen. The library is open on weekdays from 10:00 to 16:00, the chapel – from April 1 to September 30: from 9:00 to 17:00 and from October 1 to March 31: from 10:00 to 16:00.

Glyptotheque

Why is the museum called so strangely – “glyptothek”? The first place in which the word began to be used almost everywhere was Bavaria. “Glyptothek” is translated as “repository of sculptures”, it is difficult to find a more suitable term, because here they have collected a whole collection of Roman, as well as Greek sculpture, and no other items. The museum was founded specifically for the king, in which he kept his own collection of sculptures.

The Glyptothek was built by Leo von Klenze, who eventually decided to create a pair of buildings in the same style. Due to the decision to create such a huge complex, the construction of the facility continued for a long time, and the museum itself was opened only in 1830. Since that time, his museum has been constantly growing, it is surprising that even during the war period the building fell apart, but its collection was almost not affected .

It is here that such world-famous exhibits as the “Teney kouros”, “aeginetes” and the “Munich kouros” are stored. We must not forget that this exposition consists of only stone objects – objects, sculptures, etc. There are no other materials in the museum. The building can be found at: Munchen, Konigsplatz. Also on the square is the metro, which is easy to find by the name Konigsplatz. The museum operates from 10:00 to 17:00, and on Wednesday – until 20:00. Day off – Monday.

Hellabrunn Zoo

The zoo is exactly the place where it is difficult to take children away. This large zoo was opened in 1911. It was the first geozoo in which the living conditions of all animals were tried to be as close as possible to their natural environment. Its territory was divided into peculiar zones that correspond to the habitat of animals in a normal environment.

Today, the zoo is home to approximately 14,500 animals of more than 650 varieties. Every year it is visited by 1,500,000 children. Striking cases also occur – for example, not so long ago, for the first time in almost 70 years, a baby elephant was born at the zoo. You can also purchase a plan at the entrance, you can find it right at the checkout.

Arriving here, the tourist will immediately find himself in the great kingdom of flamingos. Then he will find himself in the jungle, watch the monkeys, and then see the aquarium. Behind the elephants' houses there is a playground for them to walk and an aviary built for camels. Away you can find turtles, and in front of them live graceful leopards.

Then, turning right, you can admire the horses grazing in the meadow. Just here is a restaurant and a special playground. In order to get there, you need to take the U3 metro and get to Thalkirchen, then follow the signs. Then cross the bridge – and be at the very entrance to the zoo. The zoo is open daily from 9:00 to 18:00.

Maximilianeum

This is a building, the appearance of which, of course, corresponds to its pompous name. The construction of the palace, which perfectly embodied the features of the Renaissance, took about 20 years. Today, students live here, and the parliament itself sits. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, you cannot enter the building itself, but the mass of interesting architectural details, as well as the richness of the facade, make up for this minus. The terrace of the building offers a picturesque view of the city. The Maximilianeum is best seen from the famous Maximilianbrücke Bridge or Maximianstrasse.

The yellow hue of the façade of the Masimilianeum is a skillful combination of Renaissance and Neo-Gothic details. For example, rounded niches hide high windows, colorful mosaics decorate the pediment, and marble statues crown the roof. It is worth noting the terracotta stucco molding that adorns the facade, because it gives the palace the appearance of the Renaissance.

Maximilianeum is surrounded by a beautiful park, which abounds with well-groomed lawns. And skaters and cyclists rush along its roads, and the residents of Munich itself are also very fond of spending time here. Located at: Max-Planck-Strasse, 1. No entry to the public, but you can admire the outside at any time.

BMW Museum

BMW is an abbreviation for the factory, which has been known for a long time. The plant began operating in 1913 and specialized specifically in aircraft engines. After the war, the treaty banned the production of aircraft in the country, and OTTO was forced to curtail the work of the factory. Because of what the company began to produce brakes for various trains.

Today, BMW is a world-renowned manufacturer of vehicles such as cars, bicycles, motorcycles and engines. Here you can see not only cars and other vehicles of the world-famous brand, but even aircraft engines, which the company previously specialized in. A variety of car models such as coupes and sedans literally captures many looks. In addition, in the museum you can admire the first motorcycle of this brand.

Car lovers will be able to get acquainted with the novelty – a hydrogen car. The company's team believes that the future belongs to hydrogen engines. Often visitors are surprised by the exposition located in one of the halls. The mesmerizing installation features small balls suspended from the ceiling. As they rotate, they appear in an amazing form – the kinetic model of the company. You can get to the building from the main railway station, you need to get to Marienplatz and transfer to U3. From Monday to Saturday the museum is open from 7:30 to 00:00, on Sunday – from 9:00 to 00:00.

Nymphenburg Palace

This complex of palaces impresses with its beauty and luxury. Nymphenburg attracts a lot of attention – more than 400 thousand people annually. This is not surprising, because it, like the adjacent park rich in infrastructure and combining a landscape zone, certainly deserves at least a particle of attention.

Numerous ponds, gardens, and parks adorn a large area of the palace complex. The decoration of the castle is not inferior to the external appearance. For several centuries, the palace has housed a porcelain manufactory, whose items are exhibited in Nymphenburg's own museums.

The park is known for its many pavilions, which are considered independent buildings. Amalienburg – the most famous of them, was built in the 18th century. Man-made lakes were constantly broken here, a swimming pool, baths, a hunting lodge, a chapel, and a bathhouse were built. Because of this, determining a specific time period for the start and end of construction causes some difficulties. From the very center you can quickly get to the palace, for this you need to take the tram 17 route. The palace is located at: Schloss Nymphenburg, 1.

Munich residence of the Wittelsbachs

The Munich residence of the Wittelsbachs is one of the largest palace complexes in Europe, and even a week is not enough to explore it. The first palace appeared in the 14th century and served as a refuge for the Bavarian nobility, after which it was transformed and became the residence for the rulers. Over the next 7 centuries, each representative of the Wittelsbach dynasty expanded the Residence until it began to have 10 courtyards surrounded by 130 rooms.

The most popular halls among tourists are the Antiquarium, where receptions, balls and banquets were held, the Treasury with a rich collection of jewelry and symbols of royal power, as well as the Royal Chambers, in which Ludwig the First allowed even residents during his departure. The cost of visiting varies from 7 to 13 euros and depends on the hall you want to get into, and they take tourists on a tour daily – from 9:00 to 19:00.

Marienplac

Marienplatz is a square in the city center, the hallmarks of which are the column of the Virgin Mary, installed on the occasion of the end of the Thirty Years' War, and two Town Halls, made in the Gothic style. Once upon a time, knightly tournaments were held here, which is reminiscent of the figures of knights in the clock on the facade of the town hall, moving at certain hours. Now it is a venue for Christmas markets, concerts and rallies.

Here, in the Kaufhof shopping center and in the music store Ludwig Bech, people shop as gifts for their friends and relatives, and in the courtyard of the New Town Hall you can try authentic Bavarian cuisine. The metro station of the same name also passes under the square, on several floors of which there are a lot of souvenir shops, flower markets and cafeterias with prices much cheaper than on Marienplatz itself.

German Museum

The German Museum has been operating since 1903 and impresses with the scope of collections from agricultural exhibits to the latest achievements in technology and space, which contains more than 28 thousand items. Even a week is not enough to explore each hall, of which there are more than 10, so it's better to set a goal in advance to see a couple of the most exciting for you.

They are dedicated to every branch of human development – navigation, aviation and space, textiles, glassmaking, ceramics, printing and minerals, brewing and sugar production, photography and music. For children, a separate hall “Children's Kingdom” is allocated, where the child can personally take part in the experiments, try on the duties of a fireman, engineer or ship captain. Doors are open every day from 9:00 to 17:00.

Odeonsplac

The history of the Odeonsplatz began in 1816, after which it began to rapidly acquire famous sights and monuments in the Baroque style. On the south side of the square is the Feldherrnhalle loggia with bronze statues of the generals, Count Tilly and Prince Vrede, guarded by marble sculptures of lions, and on the right side of it is the bright yellow Theatinerkirche church. It serves as a tomb for 49 rulers of the Bavarian Wittelsbach dynasty.

From here you can also see the Munich residence, but the Hofgarten park, which arose in the 17th century thanks to the order of Maximilian the First, is located behind the Odeonsplatz. In the park, it is worth visiting the “Temple of Diana” and just enjoying a leisurely walk through the park among flower beds and fountains. After a walk through the surrounding architectural monuments, residents recommend the old cafe “Tambozi”, as the most picturesque view of the square opens from there.

Church of St. Michael

The current church of St. Michael is made in the Gothic style and looks more like a cake than a temple. The sanctuary owes its unreal beauty to Duke Wilhelm, son of Albrecht the Magnanimous, who spent a lot of money on its construction in the period from the 16th to the 17th century.

The facade of the building is decorated with 15 statues of the Wittelsbach princes, a statue of Jesus Christ and the Archangel Michael slaying the dragon. Inside the church there is a tomb with representatives of the royal nobility – William the Pious, Ludwig II and Maximilian the First. On weekdays, this place can be visited completely free of charge from 8:00 to 19:00, and on weekends from 7:00 to 22:00.

Allianz Arena

The Allianz Arena should be at the top of the list of attractions not only for football fans and fans of the Bayern Munich team, but also for people who are not fond of sports, because the stadium is included in the list of one of the most beautiful sports complexes in the world, which accommodates more than 70 thousands of people.

Interestingly, in the evenings and during matches, the stadium lights up with a million red, blue or white lights, which more than once fascinated drivers from the passing track so much that they led to frequent accidents. For this reason, the color change occurs every half an hour. In addition to football games, concerts by famous artists from all over the world are held here, shopping centers dedicated to the symbols of the football club are located, and LEGO products are on display.

New City Hall

The New Town Hall has been decorating the city for more than a century. For its construction, it was necessary to demolish a number of residential areas, which could not please people, but now the Germans are proud of such a “calling card” of the city. Now the Town Hall, 85 meters high, accommodates about 600 people and occupies more than 400 rooms, on top of which you can climb with an elevator and enjoy the view of the city. Of particular admiration is the carillon, a musical puppet show of 32 figures of the royal nobility and civilians, who for 15 minutes play scenes from the history of the city. Library rooms, an art gallery and even a meeting room are allowed to visit every tourist for free.

Andek Monastery

Andechsky Benedictine monastery is supported, first of all, by a brewery on its territory with a 500-year history of production, in which lovers of intoxicating drink come from all over the world. In the local restaurant you can taste it and traditional German cuisine. In addition, cheeses and medicinal tinctures are made here for sale, and the proceeds are enough to provide Andeks himself and charity.

There is also a distillery, a stable, butcher shops, playgrounds, chapels and temples with sacred relics that were brought to the monastery by the Bavarian dukes (the victory cross of Charlemagne, the pectoral cross of St. Elizabeth and many other rare Christian shrines). Every day Andex invites visitors from 7:00 am to 19:00 pm.

St. Peter's Church

The rectangular 92-meter bell tower of the Gothic St. Peter's Church with a long spire rises above the rest of the buildings of Marienplatz in such a way that it is impossible not to notice it. The origins of its foundation date back to the 10th century, after which it was destroyed several times during fires and rebuilt, incorporating the features of the Romanesque style, then the Rococo. At a height of 56 meters, there is an observation platform that will allow you to view the city from its height if you overcome 306 steps leading to it along narrow corridors.

The entrance to the temple is decorated with gilded figures of angels leading to the main attraction of the temple – a pedestal on which St. Peter sits with a tiara on his head, as the personification of papal power. Around it are installed Corinthian columns and sculptures of other saints. They don’t ask for money to enter the temple, but for visiting the observation deck you will have to pay a ticket worth 1 euro for children under 15 years old and 1.5 euros for adults. Opening hours – from 10:00 to 18:30 every day.

bavarian opera

The opera house is not inferior to its counterparts, such as La Scala in Italy or the Bolshoi Theater in Russia, and is one of the symbols of cultural life in Germany. Since 1963, opera and ballet performances have been held here daily, the most famous conductors among which were Hermann Levy, Richard Strauss, Bruno Walter, Peter Schneider, Kent Nagano and others. This list also includes the Russian leader of the ensemble – Kirill Petrenko.

Until the 20th century, the theater had a long-suffering history of formation, when the building was destroyed either as a result of a fire in 1823 or was almost completely destroyed due to a bombardment in 1943. After 15 years, the German architect Moritz Grauber set about restoring the old theater and in 5 years turned it into an outstanding monument of art and the pride of the German people. Now more than 2,000 people can simultaneously hear the works of the greatest composers.

Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden greets visitors with the inscription on the poster “Always green – always beautiful!” and this is true, because hundreds of plants, accustomed to different climatic conditions, are provided with round-the-clock care. This place is especially attractive for its enchanting silence, which can be enjoyed on benches surrounded by tangerine trees, cacti and waterfalls with turtles.

In the garden, useful information can also be emphasized, for example, on the cultivation of rice plantations, the germination process of which can be seen firsthand. Deciduous and coniferous trees, exotic southern flowers and plants that live in the waters of the aquarium and pools, alpine slides and sculptures can be viewed every day from 9:00 to 16:00.

Olympic Park

The Olympic Park is represented by a complex of architectural structures from a skating rink, a velodrome, water and Olympic stadiums, as well as a 290-meter Olympic tower with several paid viewing platforms overlooking the Alps and surrounding areas. Until 2005, the stadium was the venue for the matches of FC Bayern, but after the construction of the Allianz Arena, it fell into disrepair. At an altitude of 190 meters, there is a restaurant with a not very cheap assortment, but the view of the cherry-blossoming park and Lake Olympia with ducks and swans is worth it. The BMW Exhibition Center is located on the territory of the Olympic Park, for which you do not need to pay an entrance fee.

Aviation Museum

The Aviation Museum or “Schleissheim Aircraft Shipyard” will be interesting not only for the theoretical part, presented by the developments of Otto Lilienthal's gliders, but also for the practical part, where you can climb into the cockpit of a helicopter or a hang glider, which will be especially interesting for a child, and even fly with a pilot as a passenger. On the territory of the museum there are circles on aircraft modeling and training of young pilots. Every day from 9:00 to 17:00, you can get acquainted with flight exhibits for 3 euros for children under 15 years old, and for 6 euros for adults.

Theatinerkirche church

The creation of the Theatinerkirche, made in the Italian Baroque style, owes the romantic story of two lovers – Henrietta Adelaide, Princess of Savoy and Prince Ferdinand Maria. They were promised to each other long before they met, but the meeting was constantly postponed until, finally, on a long-awaited trip to her husband, the girl fell in love with one of the Bavarian horsemen sent to protect the royal carriage.

The granddaughter of Henry the Fourth was overshadowed by the upcoming wedding, but what was her surprise when the same Bavarian horseman turned out to be the prince. The already married Henrietta promised that if a son was born, she would build a church in honor of St. Cajetan of Theatine, the patron saint of women in childbirth. Now the bodies of the princess, husband and other representatives of the Wittelsbach dynasty are buried in the walls of the church. The church is open every day from 6:30 to 20:00.

Palace of Justice

Or as it is also called – the Palace of Justice, has been decorating the city center since 1897 thanks to Friedrich von Thiersch, who decorated the roof of the building with a glass dome 67 meters high, an innovative solution for that time. The main part of the building is made in the neo-baroque style, but was supplemented by two clock towers in the Gothic style, when the judicial authorities did not have enough space and in 1905 a forced addition was made.

Now here is the Constitutional and Higher Land Court, which have been peacefully solving human problems since 1943, when all members of the White Rose organization were executed. Twenty-year-old students were members of the anti-fascist regime, for which they paid with their lives. Now they are declared heroes and several streets in Germany are named after them.

Legoland

It is better to start a tour of the park with a sightseeing walk on a mini-train that meets children at the gates of the entertainment complex. The locomotive train will take you past 8 thematic zones, consisting of attractions not only for children, but also for adults. The most interesting of them are “Land of Miniatures”, “World of Adventures”, “Kingdom of Pirates” and “Knight's Kingdom”. Lego structures, interactive shows and live exhibitions are striking from one site to another.

In addition to game attractions, acquaintance with animals and boating, the developers of the park also took care of the intellectual development of children, where, with the help of assistants, you can develop your own model of the constructor. A distinctive feature of the Legoland game complex is a driving school for young motorists, where after passing the driving test, you can get a driver's license. The park is open from March 19 to November 6 every day from 10:00 to 18:00. If you buy a ticket in advance and issue it on the official website, then for one person the price will be about 30 euros.

Therme Erding water park

The largest water park in Europe (200 thousand sq. m.) with artificial beaches would be more fair to call it a water complex, since in addition to attractions, saunas and spa centers are located on its territory. Thermal pools (2 outdoor and 1 indoor) will be useful for adults, and 20 indoor and 8 outdoor water slides have a different age range – some are only allowed from 14 years old due to acceleration to 72 km / h, others are allowed for children up to 6 and older.

On the territory of the pools, several of which imitate sea waves and are enriched with minerals and elements similar to the composition of the Dead Sea, there is a DiamondBay beach bar, massage chairs and a volleyball court. You can also visit the Bali hall, which offers yoga classes and oxygen air baths. In-room treatments such as body massages, facials and rose petal baths are also available. The complex is open every day from 9:00 to 23:00 and such a pleasure costs 30 euros for a day ticket, which can be extended for 3 euros per hour.
