The 10 Best Day Trips from Munich, Germany

Salzburg and Nuremberg are great day trips. Dachau is hard to visit, but very important.

I live 40 km away from Füssen. The whole Allgäu region is beautiful. However, you definiitely need more than a day here 😀 Should be a separate vacation.

Was in Munich in May this year. Took my wife on her first ever trip outside of the USA. We stayed 2 days in Munich then enjoyed a 10 day stay in Garmisch. Traveled to Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Visited Linderhof palace (King Ludwig II personal home and the only one to be completed before his death). The palace and surrounding grounds were amazing. While we were part of a tour group, I had lived at a Gasthaus in a small village outside of Ramstein AFB while stationed there in the 1980‘s. So while the rest of the tour group did touristy things, we did our own exploring/shopping and had fun with the locals. My German is so-so and my wife doesn’t speak it at all but that‘s what made it fun for us…..get in there and go for it!! From making friends with Edith, the 88 year old owner of a yarn shop, to finding a Turkish restaurant with actual Turks owning and running it. I had lived for several years in Turkey and surprised the owner by speaking some Turkish. My wife had only had Turkish food made by Americans in the USA so this was her first time tasting the real McCoy. Let’s just say there‘s a big difference between the two. One day I‘ll take her to Turkey when it’s a little safer and take her to some out of the way villages and resorts not frequented by tourist that I know of. We really enjoy your channel…please keep it up. Prost

Mark, as always a great video. Only thing that confuses me a bit: Why are you not calling german places by their proper name? I mean calling München "Munic" and for example pronouncing some of the names american instead of german. For me, part of traveling is not to fully learn the language but at least try to properly call names. 😉

Missed a really great one : Andechs Abby. Its absolutely beautiful and they have a great brewery and serve traditional Bavarian food. I really enjoyed the huge 1 litre glasses with the dark bock beer thats made right there on site. Thats like a meal in itself. Especially when the weather is nice the Biergarten is an absolute joy! It also has a beautiful Baroque church where among others the famous composer Carl Orff is buried. On clear days you can see the Alps rise up in the distance from the top level of the complex which makes for a spectacular sight. Also there are many hiking trails through the surrounding countryside which offer great views on the iconic abby. And the fun thing about it is that many of the visitors are locals themselves so then you really know you are at the right place.

I spent a week in Munich and surrounds in April, taking in many of the sights you mentioned. If you’re in Regensburg, Walhalla is easily accessible by bus and was a highlight of my trip. Don’t forget to take a quick walk around Lake Eibsee when visiting Zugspitze.

Other nice cities for a day trip nearby: Augsburg, Landshut, Eichstätt, Freising and of course Rothenburg ob der Tauber

that's a proud momma's boy right there!

Nürnberger Rostbratwürste you forget to mention.

🇪🇬🐪🌴

Never forget history

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

I'd recommend Ulm also for day-trip with the highest church tower of the world

Erding! Go to the Therme and the brewery.

Coburg is really interesting if interested in Queen Victoria.
