Home » Germany » Munich - Seven Day Itinerary » Day OneHaving a week in Munich allows you to take your time seeing the city sights, while still allowing a day or two to explore the environs. With so much rich history and so many interesting things to do, you will find spending a week in Munich a wonderful opportunity.
Begin the first of your seven days with a bus tour around the city. It allows you to get your bearings and gain an overview of all the significant areas. Most of the major tours begin around 10:00am. Catch the first departure if you can. Bike tours are also available if you would prefer to expend some physical energy on your first day.
After your tour, make your way to Marienplatz for lunch and an afternoon stroll. Marienplatz is the center of the city, and it is often where the city's many festivals and celebrations are headquartered. Parades often begin or end here, and it is the best spot in Munich to kick back with a German beer and enjoy the convivial atmosphere.
Stroll north on Dienerstrasse to Max-Joseph-Platz, another of Munich's famous squares. The area is called the Platzl quarter, and it is the center of the city's nightlife. It is also where you will find the famous Hofbrauhaus am Platzl. With a legendary beer-brewing tradition dating back to 1589, it is a must-do for every visitor to Munich. Inside you will find a constant party that always feels like Oktoberfest, no matter what time of the year it is. Order the weisswurst, and enjoy it with mustard, pretzels and a famous German beer.
