The Frauenkirche and New Town Hall in Munich

Hop on hop off Munich

Central Munich is walkable, but the palaces and parks are farther out. A hop-on hop-off bus links them, and one day trip leads to Neuschwanstein.

The bus links Marienplatz and the Frauenkirche with sights farther out, such as Nymphenburg Palace, depending on the route. Two operators are offered: the classic hop-on hop-off and Big Bus with an open-top deck. For a day outside the city, the Neuschwanstein and Linderhof excursion is the most booked.
