Day 1: Munich Highlights & Football Fever 

Breakfast at WunderLocke.

Who said you needed to leave the hotel straight away? Start your day with a relaxed breakfast at WunderLocke. With delicious coffee, and a hearty breakfast selection you can be certain your day will be off to a good start. 

Take in the history of Marienplatz.

After breakfast, head to Marienplatz, the heart of Munich. Explore the historic square, take in the architecture of the New Town Hall, and don’t forget to catch the Glockenspiel show. 

Grab a bite to eat at Viktualienmarkt.

From Marienplatz wander over to Viktualienmarkt, Munich’s famous food market. Grab a snack or a light bite from the stalls— here you’ll find everything from local delicacies to international cuisine. 

If you’re still hungry, take a seat at one of the traditional beer gardens or grab a bite at one of the many food stalls. Try a classic Bavarian dish like Weisswurst (white sausage) or a hearty schnitzel. 

Day 2: Nature & Wellness Escape 

Day trip to Sylvensteinsee.

Start early and head out of the city to Sylvensteinsee, a serene lake nestled in the foothills of the Alps. The stunning views of the turquoise water surrounded by mountains are breathtaking. You can take a leisurely walk or enjoy some quiet time by the water. Pack a picnic or stop by a local restaurant to grab some Bavarian specialties. Enjoy lunch by the lake while taking in the beauty of your surroundings. 

A relaxing afternoon.

Sometimes all you need is some peace and quiet, head back to WunderLocke for some much-needed relaxation in the afternoon. WunderLocke’s heated outdoor pool and sauna offer the perfect way to decompress, the perfect way to unwind after your outdoor adventure. 

Dinner and drinks just a stones throw from your apartment.

After your relaxing session at the spa, head to the hotel bar for some craft cocktails or a glass of wine. The cozy ambiance is perfect for winding down. For dinner, either enjoy at WunderLocke’s restaurant or head to a nearby local spot for something more traditional, like a Bavarian roast or crispy pork knuckle. With just one day left of your itinerary be sure to enjoy a delicious evening ahead. 

Day 3: Art, Culture, and Bavarian Traditions 

Art classics at Alte Pinakothek.

After your final breakfast at WunderLocke, start your day immersed in art at the Alte Pinakothek, one of the world’s most renowned art museums. The collection features old masters, including works by Rembrandt, Dürer, and Vermeer. Take your time to appreciate the masterpieces before heading to one of the charming cafes near the museum.   

Urban Art at Werksviertel & Bahnwarter Viertel.

Discover Munich’s vibrant street art scene at Werksviertel and Bahnwarter Viertel. These areas are filled with murals and galleries where you’ll get a true sense of the city’s creative side. Be sure to check out the Kunsthalle for a temporary exhibition. The museum often hosts contemporary art shows, so you’ll find something exciting to explore during your visit. 

Finishing your stay with a traditional Bavarian Dinner Experience.

Wrap up your trip with an authentic Bavarian dining experience. Head to a traditional beer hall like Hofbräuhaus or Augustiner Bräu for hearty food, freshly brewed beer, and live music. Make sure to try the roast chicken (Brathendl) or a Bavarian platter with sausages, sauerkraut, and dumplings. 

Looking for a nightcap?

If you still have energy, you can head to one of Munich’s many cocktail bars for a final drink. Or, if you’re feeling mellow, a last drink at the WunderLocke bar could be the perfect ending. 

Pro Tip: 

Munich’s public transport system (U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams) is easy to use, but if you’re planning to travel out of the city (like to Sylvensteinsee), renting a car could be more convenient.
