Sightseeing

Munich,

located at the foot of the Alps, offers a wide range of locations to visit and activities to pursue. The event location right in the center of the city invites to a stroll through the historical old town between workshops and dancing. Or, if you arrive a little early, take a short trip to the beautiful destinations like Schloß Neuschwanstein or one of the mountain lakes.

Friday morning offers a free walking tour starting at the main station (Hauptbahnhof). Or you just explore the city yourself.

We have a list of locations for you to start with, but there is much much more to discover. And keep in mind: the famous Oktoberfest starts just the weekend after the event!
