Things to do in Munich in March

1

Marienplatz

Munich's central square, where the Neo-Gothic Glockenspiel in the New Town Hall tower performs its clockwork show at 11am and noon (plus 5pm in summer) — the natural starting point for any first visit.

2

Nymphenburg Palace

The Wittelsbach dynasty's baroque summer palace, with a canal-lined park, the Gallery of Beauties portrait collection, and porcelain workshops still operating on the grounds today.

3

English Garden

One of the world's largest urban parks — bigger than New York's Central Park — famous for the surfers who ride a standing wave on the Eisbach stream and the beer garden at the Chinese Tower.

4

BMW Museum

A striking bowl-shaped museum beside BMW's four-cylinder headquarters tower, tracing a century of design and motorsport — the adjacent BMW Welt showroom is free and worth combining with it.

5

Viktualienmarkt

A daily food market just south of Marienplatz since 1807 — Bavarian sausages, cheeses, and produce stalls surround the market's own beer garden, a favourite lunch stop for locals.

6

Neuschwanstein Day Trip

Ludwig II's fairytale castle in the foothills of the Alps, about 2 hours from Munich by train and bus — the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle, best booked with a timed-entry ticket in advance.
