48-Hours in Munich With City Sightseeing
The quickest way to get your bearings in a city is to get out and explore as much as possible, in a short amount of time. I love a good hop-on/hop-off bus option when we’re in a new city to do just that! I prefer to do a 2-day tour option when possible and use it for a half day each day. It’s a great way to see the city, get an understanding of where landmarks are, as well as see a lot of sights in a short amount of time!
There are three route options for Munich City Sightseeing.
- City Tour (red line): 1-hour loop with 7 stops to tour the Munich city center. Popular stops near Residenz, Marienplatz, the Opera, and the Deutsches Museum.
- Nymphenburg/Olympiapark Tour (purple line): major highlights are in the route name. We stopped at both the Nymphenburg palace and Olympiapark- totally worth it to see the sights from the top deck of the bus while traveling between destinations.
- Schwabing Tour (blue line): a few stops in the Englischer Garten and Pinalotheken.
If you have a few days to tour Munich, I highly recommend starting with the City Sightseeing tour to get your bearings!
Have you done a hop-on/hop-off bus tour before?
