Guten Tag! Recently, someone asked me for recommendations for things to do in M\u00fcnchen (Munich) as a first-time visitor, so I thought I\u2019d write my own little guide and share it with you all. For each attraction, I have included the nearest U-Bahn (underground) or S-Bahn (overground or ‘suburban’ trains) stop to get off at. <\/strong>If anyone has any further recommendations for things to do and see, leave them in the comments!<\/p>\n

8 PLACES TO VISIT IN MUNICH<\/strong><\/h1>\n

KZ-GEDENKST\u00c4TTE <\/strong>DACHAU<\/strong> (Dachau Concentration Camp)<\/h2>\n

Set up shortly after Hitler came into power, KZ-Gedenkst\u00e4tte Dachau<\/a> was one of the earliest concentration camps in Germany, serving as a model for all future ones. It is free to visit Dachau, and I highly recommend doing so. It’s also a little outside M\u00fcnchen, but worth the trip. Be prepared to spend several hours there, as there\u2019s a lot of ground to cover! There is a caf\u00e9 and a bookshop on site.<\/p>\n

S-Bahn stop: Dachau\/Peterhausen<\/strong>, then get a bus to KZ-Gedenkst\u00e4tte Dachau (the bus will be clearly labelled, as loads of people go there from this station).<\/em><\/p>\n

SCHLOSS NYMPHENBURG<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A beautiful, Baroque palace dating back to the 1600s, Schloss Nymphenburg <\/a>is a must-visit for any history lovers. There are different sections to the palace, including the Martstallmuseum (museum of carriages & sleighs) and the park palaces Amalienburg, Badenburg, Pagodenburg and Magdalenenklause. Buy a ticket for everything, or just certain parts of the palace. Alternatively, keep your money and take a long walk around the stunning palace grounds. In summer (April-October), you can even go on a gondola ride on the canal in front of the Schloss!
\nU-Bahn stop: Rotkreuzplatz<\/strong>, then get a tram to Schloss Nymphenburg.<\/p>\n

OUTDOOR MUNICH<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Though it\u2019s one of Germany\u2019s biggest cities and the Bavarian capital, M\u00fcnchen has plenty of attractions for nature lovers:<\/p>\n
