Tips

If you wish to extend your stay, consider a day trip to the fairy‑tale town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber or the Alpine village of Garmisch‑Partenkirchen. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine Day 4 and Day 5 by visiting the BMW Museum and English Garden on the same day, and skip the Allianz Arena tour on the final morning. Public transport is efficient, so a weekly “M‑V ticket” will keep travel costs low.
