Question 1

What are the major attractions in Munich?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Munich is all sorted out but your itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a helping hand.

A look at a postcard stand will show that a trip to Munich wouldn't be complete without going to Marienplatz. As the most well-known attraction in the area, you might want to spend more time here than a quick stop.

Experience the best that this place has to offer by adding Asamkirche and Church of Our Lady to your itinerary. If you've got some extra time, check out Rathaus-Glockenspiel and Old Pinakothek as well.

Plan a stop at Olympic Stadium. It's one sight you'll usually find on most visitors' to-do lists. If you still have room on that itinerary, Theresienwiese and Hellabrunn Zoo will keep you busy as well.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Munich?

Accepted Answer

Making your way to Munich to marvel at Marienplatz and English Garden? Now that's what you call an unforgettable road trip! But you'll need to give a bit of thought to exactly how you'll get about. Driving in this metropolis can be a challenge, so choose a smaller ride, like an economy car. You'll be squeezing past traffic and parallel parking like a local. If you'd prefer to leave the driving for outside the city, that's OK too. Grab something a little bigger and more comfortable, like an SUV, and explore the snowfields of Upper Bavaria.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Munich?

Accepted Answer

You'll be happy to hear that there's a great range of luxurious rentals in Munich. What you go for is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not pick a high-end SUV, or perhaps a slick medium-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you're just after something to zip around town in as economically as possible, go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).

You're unlikely to have any problems finding a space to park in Munich. With loads of places to leave your wheels, exploring the top sights of this destination is easy and fun.

Does Munich have peak-hour traffic?
