Attractions are many and varied in Munich. Marienplatz is the historic centre of the city and from here you can walk around to the various sights, such as Neus Rathaus with the famous Glockenspiel (carillon), St Peterskirche (a gothic church), Maximilianstrasse (a very glamorous shopping street), the Residenz and Nymphenburg Palace, a bit further out of the city.

As well as many museums such as the Egytian Art Museum, Residenzmuseum and the Bavarian National Museum, Munich has a great food market called Viktualienmarkt, which is well worth a visit throughout the year, and many gardens such as the English Garden, which is one of the biggest in Europe. Dachau, situated close to Munich, is also a popular if unfortunately sad, day trip.
