This week in Munich starts in the Altstadt, then covers the Residenz and the English Garden, Nymphenburg Palace with the Olympic Park, and the Pinakotheken museums. Day five is a full day trip to Neuschwanstein. The last two days pair the Deutsches Museum and the Isar with a sober final visit to the Dachau memorial.

Munich questions

Do I need to book Neuschwanstein Castle tickets in advance?

Book tickets online at least two weeks ahead through the official site. Same-day options often sell out by morning.

How do I get from Munich to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site?

Take the S2 train from Hauptbahnhof to Dachau station then bus 726. Allow 45 minutes total each way.

Is one week enough for Munich and day trips to the Alps?

One week covers central Munich plus two or three day trips by train. Add buffer days if including multiple mountain outings.

Do I need reservations for Nymphenburg Palace?

Buy timed entry tickets online the day before to skip lines. The grounds and park remain open without reservations.
