The castle is absolutely breathtaking! Go to Mary Bridge for the magnificent view but please be patient as there are so many people there. Then walk down from there to the castle. You can also enjoy the magnificent view around along the way. I also recommend going in and seeing the castle. Photography is not allowed inside the castle, but admiring the beautiful paintings and architecture, as well as the many amazing technological wonders within the castle, is still worth a visit.
The interior of Neuschwanstein Castle itself cannot be compared with the Munich Royal Palace, but its architectural features, especially the skill of being built deep in the mountains hundreds of years ago, are still amazing! Be sure to leave enough time (such as about 1 hour) to go up the mountain after buying or picking up tickets! The entrance to the palace strictly lets people in according to the time on the ticket. That day we encountered a situation where 3 people were almost late (because they went to the suspension bridge), and the other 3 people were late and were not allowed to enter. So everyone must pay attention to the time reservation! ! ! You are not allowed to take pictures during the visit, but you can get a free guide (with Chinese) after entering the park

If you are a car enthusiast or interested in German industrial design, the BMW Museum in Munich is definitely a stop you can't miss.
As soon as you enter the museum, you will be shocked by its futuristic architecture. The exterior looks like a silver flying saucer, echoing the "four-cylinder building" of the BMW headquarters next to it. The interior is a multi-level ring structure with a smooth visiting path, like traveling on a timeline - from the earliest BMW motorcycles to the latest electric concept cars, every step carries the brand's technological evolution.
The exhibits are rich in variety, from classic vintage cars, racing cars, motorcycles to new energy concept cars, and each car has a detailed background introduction. It also displays engines, design sketches and technological development processes, which is very suitable for viewers interested in technical details.
Particularly impressive is the BMW racing history area, with a wall full of rally reviews, F1 racing models and videos, which makes people excited.
Many exhibition areas are equipped with multimedia explanations, animation displays and interactive screens, which can not only see the structure of the vehicle, but also hear the sound simulation of the engine, which is very immersive. Even if you don't understand cars, you won't feel bored.
Next to it is BMW Welt (BMW World), where you can see the latest BMW models and test drive them. The store has a variety of car models, souvenirs and clothing, which are slightly more expensive but have a strong sense of design.
Take the subway (U3 line) from the city center directly to the "Olympiazentrum" station, get off and walk a few minutes to get there. The route is very clear.
Very cool museum. New cars are exposed and also historic cars.A nice museum for BMW fans, where you can learn a lot from the brand history.

There is a big difference between the live broadcast on TV and the live game. The stadium is very big and the full house at the start of the game is very shocking. The shouts of the goals are very exciting. Munich is a football fan. The stadium is easy to find and can be reached directly by subway. It is very convenient to book with Ctrip. There will be a butler to contact on WeChat. The fan area is in a very good location. The stadium is still a bit cold in February. I must wear more clothes next time I go. Haha, I will choose Ctrip next time. It’s great. It’s a very good experience👍
Cool arena. Not sure how you would enter themuseum but we weren't going in anyway. Shop isup a few steps inside arena. You can also walkaround the inside periphery of the arena.Very remote location but easily accessed by citycentre by U-Bahn. You pay Zone M fare whencoming from the city centre so it's cheap.

Maria Square is the central square in Munich. In the middle of the square is the statue of the Virgin Mary, and in the north of the square is the Gothic-style town hall (Rathaus), which was built in 1867-1908. In the middle of the town hall is the 85-meter-high clock tower, with the famous doll clock clock, and the dolls at 11 am and 5 pm accompanied by music to show the scene of the 1568 William V wedding ceremony and the elimination of the Black Death. Not far northwest of the square, there are two famous onion-topped Notre Dame Churches, a symbol of Munich. Drink beer, taste ice cream and enjoy the bustling city by the square.
Simply Stunning – A Must-Visit in Munich!Marienplatz is an absolute gem in the heart of Munich! The blend of splendid beauty and mind-blowing history makes it a must-visit for anyone exploring the city.

Bavarian dynasty's iconic summer garden
Saved by 241 users106 positive reviews
Verified User Reviews
As the summer palace of the Bavarian royal family, its architecture and garden design are very ornamental.
The palace itself is a magnificent Baroque building with a front facade that is hundreds of meters long and magnificent. Many original decorations and furniture are preserved inside, which is very stunning. Each room is like a time capsule that travels back to the 18th century.
The large English garden behind the palace is extremely open, with lakes, bridges, boulevards and scattered hunting pavilions (such as Amalienburg) forming a quiet and elegant picture. It is recommended to reserve enough time for a slow walk and feel the leisurely pace of aristocratic life.
It is very convenient to take a tram or subway from the city center, and there are also multilingual information introductions in Chinese, English and other languages at the entrance. The tour route is clear, and there is an optional audio guide, which is suitable for self-guided tours or family tours.
I was there in Autumn🍂🍁it is definately beautiful!!!I took a tun of picture, that is making me feel cozy and warm☺️

The store issues tickets very quickly, which is very convenient, and the price is quite reasonable. The museum has a lot of content, divided into many small exhibitions. The popular science about the human body and atoms is not seen much in China. The ones presented here are more like children's paintings.
The Deutsches Museum is a paradise for curious minds! One of the world’s largest science and technology museums, it’s packed with interactive exhibits—from space travel to historic ships. Perfect for all ages. You’ll need hours (or days!) to explore it all. Fascinating, fun, and inspiring!#DeutschesMuseum#MunichMuseums#ScienceAndTech#GermanyTravel#MuseumLovers#InteractiveLearning

The Munich Palace District, it turns out that this was the real palace district. Later, a museum was built on the original site. It is still worth visiting. The buildings outside are well preserved and the collections inside the museum are also well-known. It is very suitable for checking in.
Munich Palace District This palace district was previously where the royal family lived, but now a series of museums have been built on the original site of the palace. It feels very interesting, and the exhibits inside are divided into several areas. Friends who like history can come here to visit

It is a yellow castle opposite the famous Neuschwanstein Castle. This was also a very cute castle. Please visit this castle as well as Neuschwanstein Castle.
The High Swan Castle in Germany is actually the old Swan Castle. Although it is old, it looks very charming and has a long history. When I went there, I visited both Swan Castles. Each has its own charm.

D23 Schönau-King's Lake-Ramsau-Back Lake-Stay in Lofersalach Valley
King's Lake is located 5 kilometers south of Berchtesgaden, a small town on the border between Germany and Austria. It is known as the most beautiful lake in Germany. It is named after the shape of the surrounding peaks, such as the peaks symbolizing the king and queen, their children and the witch peak lying down. It is the deepest lake in Germany, with a maximum depth of 200 meters. Surrounded by mountains, the lake water is clear, and there is no pollution in the lake when electric boats travel. Wandering by boat, on the cliffs of the "Echo Wall", is a famous program for cruise ships: the captain blows the trumpet facing the cliff, and the echo can be clearly heard, and then takes the hat to collect tips.
St. Bartholomew's Chapel is a landmark on the west bank of the Hirschau Peninsula of King's Lake. It has a unique shape and is known as a representative of the Baroque style.
Go to the pier at the south end of the lake and then go forward to the upper lake. The lake is not big, but the color is comparable to the Five Flower Sea in Jiuzhaigou! The southern end of the upper lake is a pasture, and there are many swimmers who are not afraid of the cold by the lake!
The dreamy colors can only be explained by pictures!
The King's Lake, located next to the small town of Berchtesgaden on the border between Germany and Austria, has clear water like a mirror. The cruise ship 🚢 is moving slowly, and the wind blows the grass, and the skirts flutter in the wind~
Local popular attractions, recommended!

Linderhof Palace is a fairytale brought to life—elegant, intimate, and surrounded by breathtaking gardens and forest. King Ludwig II’s dream is everywhere in the details. Smaller than Neuschwanstein, but more personal and enchanting. A hidden gem in Bavaria!
The only castle palace completed by Ludwig II! The entire scenic area is like a fairy tale world, and every corner is full of romance. Walk through the paths, step into the gardens, see the tall fountains, and enjoy the beauty of the palace!
