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: https://www.munich.travel/en/offers/booking/visit-of-the-new-town-hall-tower

Frauenkirche Tower: https://www.munich.travel/en/offers/booking/visit-tower-frauenkirche-munich
