Essentials in Munich
Deutsches Museum: The Deutsches Museum is one of the largest technical museums in the world. It's all about hands on exhibits and interacting with the displays. You need at least an entire day to see the whole museum.
Englischer Garten: When visiting Munich, don't miss out on the parks, hidden museums, palaces and the subtleties of the Bavarian culture. Wandering around the city is a great way to explore, with no map in your hands.
Castles: The Schloss Nymphenburg, Schloss Dachau and the Schloss Schliessheim may require trips out of the city but they're worth it. Rent a car in Munich and pack some food for the ride, a tour of the nearby castles make the perfect side-trip.
Oktoberfest: The first Oktoberfest took place in 1810. It was mostly a horse-racing affair until the late 1890s when beer was introduced... and the rest is history! In a typical year 6.1 million litres of beer is drunk and almost 400,000 sausages eaten.
