It is convenient to buy tickets directly online. You can also buy them on the official website. The official website is cheaper but you have to swipe the Euro. You can pay directly in RMB and scan the code to enter. There are more than 20 exhibition halls in total displaying the BMW Discovery Journey and various products. Note: there is a spiral pavilion next to it. You can scan the code to go up and take the elevator down.
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.

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.

Bavarian dynasty's iconic summer garden
Saved by 274 users106 positive 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☺️

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.

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

A very worthwhile place to visit! If you have the opportunity to come to Germany, you must go there. It is usually more expensive, 7 euros, so it is best to come on Sunday, only one euro, very cost-effective, Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Raphael and other European art giants have works! What is rare is that the viewing atmosphere is very good, even on Sundays, there are not many people, you can almost touch the distance of the picture to appreciate the works carefully. In Europe, it feels that in all museums, the distance between visitors and the objects of the exhibition is very close, and the experience is good!
This is a tour you can't miss in Munich^^ I'm glad that this place, which was boring when I was in my 20s, is now moving ㅋㅋ Even though I didn't understand the work, I interpreted it in my own way and watched it without realizing how much time had passed ㅎ

BMW brand cars are world-famous. Its headquarters is in Munich, Germany. We visited the BMW Museum and BMW World at the headquarters, which exhibited both old cars from decades ago and concept cars under development.
This is a BMW showroom located opposite the BMW Museum. If you are a car lover or a BMW fan, you can't miss this BMW mecca in Munich. BMW is famous for its luxury cars in Germany, but in fact, its headquarters, museum, and factory are located in Munich. The museum requires admission, but this showroom is free, so be sure to check it out!

Munich's New Town Hall was built between 1867 and 1909. It is an old Gothic-style building with statues of Bavarian kings, legendary heroes and saints on its front. Visitors can climb the 85-meter-high tower to overlook Munich's streets.
The New Town Hall in Munich, Germany, has a special feature: the clock on the tower. Every day at 11:00, 12:00 and every day from March to October at 17:00, 32 life-size puppets will perform a historical drama about the wedding of William V in 1558. Every time the puppets on the clock tower rotate with the music, it is very beautiful and attracts many tourists to stop and watch.

Olympiapark in Munich is a great place to watch the sunset on a clear day. Not only is there a lot of history from the Olympics, but the architecture is very nice. Would heavily recommend having a late afternoon picnic.
After visiting the BMW World, we came to the Olympic Park nearby. This was the venue for the 20th Summer Olympics in 1972, and it is now the best place for Munich citizens to exercise. The entire park consists of 33 stadiums, including the Olympic Center Stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people, and a 290-meter-high TV tower. Its central stadium is very unique, with a tent-style roof composed of several "fish nets". The "tent roof" is translucent and is made entirely of artificial plexiglass. This was the most expensive material in the world at the time. This peculiar concept and unique shape made it a miracle in the history of world architecture. The entire Olympic Park has flat grass, clear lakes, and verdant woods, and you can meet many citizens and tourists doing morning exercises and leisure here.
