EUR 20 is a future application fee, not a mandatory cost for these trip dates. Recheck before booking/travel if the launch timetable changes.

Start at Marienplatz and explore the surrounding old town for churches, markets, civic buildings, and pedestrian streets. It is the easiest place to get oriented before branching into Munich's museums and neighborhoods.
Choose a Pinakothek museum based on your interests, from old masters to modern art and design. The group lets you build a museum stop around what you actually want to see rather than forcing one broad collection.
Walk or cycle through the English Garden and stop at a beer garden along the way. The scale of the park makes it a real part of a Munich day rather than just a patch of green.
Tour Nymphenburg Palace for its rooms and extensive gardens west of central Munich. The combination of interiors and outdoor space makes it easy to spend a relaxed half day away from the old town.
Use regional transport for a day of Alpine scenery or a Bavarian historic site outside Munich. It is a flexible way to add mountains or a castle-focused excursion without changing your base.
