Museums, Galleries, and Memorials
- An incredible, and sobering experience, this is a worthwhile excursion. Not recommended for small children. Tours can be booked in Munich or at Dachau there, in English. While the tour is certainly of historical value, the original camp is not entirely preserved, as some of the structures from the WWII era have been destroyed. Three hours or more should be dedicated to exploring the camp, though to fully see the camp may require five or more hours.
- Deutsches Museum is located in and is one of the largest technical museums in the world. It has hand-on, interactive section for natural science, engineering, construction etc.
- Pinakotheken - The Alte Pinkothek features 15-18th century religious paintings, the Neue Pinakothek 19-20th century impressionist and expressionist art and the Pinakothek der Moderne has 20th century paintings, modern art, design and architecture sections.
- Statue of the Bavaria, Theresienhöhe 16 (U4 or U5 to ), 290671. This is a almost 20 m high statue, standing on the west border of next to the Hall of Fame. There is a small viewing platform inside her head. €3.00/€2.00

Parks
- Englischer Garten - is in . Entrance is free, and it is a wonderful place to relax. Munich's second-biggest beer garden is located here, a nice place to stay and talk to the locals. Just drive to "Münchner Freiheit" or "Ostbahnhof" by S- or U-Bahn and take bus number 54 to "Chinesischer Turm".
- BUGA05 . The Bundesgartenschau 2005 is closed now. Not really sad, for €14 you did not see much. The area will be reconstructed and a park with a lake will remain. On a hot day take U2 to and don't forget your swimsuit!
