Highlights in the district of Munich
District of Munich
Due to its location alone, in a horseshoe shape around the state capital, the district of Munich offers the perfect offer for city travelers and nature lovers alike. The 29 towns and municipalities are excellently connected by public transport - Germany's first suburban rental bike system is available for the last few meters. The airport in the neighboring district of Erding opens the door to the world. At the same time, it is only a stone's throw to the Alps. And the district itself also has a lot to offer.
Themed cycle paths
Eight themed cycle paths criss-cross the district - supplemented by countless other cycle paths. A good two dozen beer gardens invite hungry and thirsty excursionists to take a relaxing break. Legend has it that the "Radler" was invented in one of them - still a top seller in the beer gardens today. But the cycle paths don't just connect beer gardens; the many local recreation areas along the Isar or the quarry ponds in the northern district can also be reached quickly by bike. The district also offers plenty to see for culture vultures with the Schleißheim castles, Schäftlarn monastery and the many picturesque churches and chapels as well as almost 20 museums and collections.
