Olympiapark München

As a venue for the XX Olympic Summer Games in 1972, the 3-square-kilometre sports landscape was built in the north part of Munich. The Park continues to serve as a place for cultural, social, and religious events. Don't forget to visit the Munich Tower for breathtaking views of the city and the Alps in the distance.

Frauenkirche

With its twin onion-domed towers, visible from afar, the Gothic cathedral and parish church is a distinctive landmark of the Bavarian capital. From the top of the south tower, the view of the city with the Alpine background is breathtaking.

Haus der Kunst

The Haus der Kunst is an internationally leading centre for contemporary art featuring an interdisciplinary programme. Every year the gallery presents about ten exhibitions of new talents and established artists. Since 2011, a selection of video art from the Goetz Collection has been shown in several displays in the former air raid shelter. In addition to exhibitions and events, the institution prioritises research, study, and the dissemination of knowledge.

Residenz München

The extensive complex was the home of the Wittelsbach dynasty until 1918, making it one of Europe’s most prestigious palaces. The building houses the Residenz museum and the Schatzkammer, also known as the 'Treasure Chamber'. The perfect place to get a glimpse of four centuries of royal culture. Don’t miss Hofgarten Park on the Odeonsplatz near the Residenz. It is one of the finest Renaissance gardens north of the Alps, and a peaceful oasis commanding a splendid view of the Theatinerkirche.
