Travel to Munich with us

Munich is a fantastic option if you want to visit Germany a short city break, with the Bavarian state capital being jam packed with cultural treats.

The third largest city in the country, Munich is a popular destination throughout the year, with favourable weather conditions during the middle of summer but a wide range of events that run through winter for those who want to travel ‘out of season’.

In fact, for many people, travelling to Munich in winter is the ideal ‘second break’ after a traditional summer beach holiday in the sun.

Spend a weekend in Munich and you’ll be able to explore history dating back to Medieval times, with a number of old buildings across the city that are worthy of further exploration.

Many of these historic buildings are located around the public squares that can be found throughout Munich, and which are a great place to sit back and relax whilst watching the locals go about their business.

Should you want to explore some culture, then there are a number of impressive art museums that house artwork from some of the most famous names around, whilst you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city with a stroll through one of Munich’s wide open parks – such as Hofgarten or the Olympiapark.

You also can’t fail to have a good night out on a trip to Munich, with plenty of chances to sample local cuisine and – of course – to enjoy a refreshing Bavarian beer.

With literally thousands of bars and clubs to choose from, you won’t be short of options when the sun goes down.
