Top Things to Do in Munich

Bodyflying & Indoor Skydiving at FlyStation Munich. Inside a glass cylinder tall as Frauenkirche towers, 180 km/h winds lift you till cheeks flap like laundry. First-timers feel the instructor tap shoulders, straighten legs, then the chamber fills with ozone-smelling air.

Andechs Monastery Beer Hike Food Experience Private Tour. Start at Munich's western lakefront, then follow a 9-km pilgrims' trail smelling of warm spruce. Monks at Andechs have brewed since 1455; the beer hall's schweinshaxe crackles onto oak tables lacquered by centuries of elbows.

Half Price Fantastic Munich City Tour. Guides recalibrate the usual loop, surfing the Eisbach wave, sampling still cheese at Viktualienmarkt, climbing the neo-gothic Rathaus tower where bells hammer overhead, then hand you a voucher booklet halving entry to eight further sites.

Romantic Road Exclusive Private Tour from Munich to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Trade Munich's straight grid for a winding trade route framed by apricot orchards and timbered guildhalls. Your chauffeur pauses at Harburg's swallow's-nest castle, then in Rothenburg hands you to a night-watchman whose lantern smells of burnt oil while he recounts 30-Years-War massacres.

Death and Chocolate: Walking Tour of Munich's Old South Cemetery. South Cemetery's ivy-wrapped angels and bullet-pocked headstones host 40,000 stories, some whispered, some mouldering. Guides dish macabre gossip about 1919 revolution victims while you unwrap cardamom-dark chocolate made by a mortician-turned-chocolatier.

Arrival Transfer from Munich Airport to Munich City by Sedan. Black Mercedes E-class waits at the terminal, driver holding a paper board crisp as sauerkraut. The 35-minute ride glides past mustard fields and solar farms into the city's heart, sparing you the S-Bahn lurch and suitcase gymnastics.

Private Zugspitze & Neuschwanstein Castle, Skip The Line & Lunch. This helicopter-smooth private run sandwiches Germany's rooftop, the 2,962 m Zugspitze, between castle stops. A glacier cable car lifts you to air that tastes metallic and ice that snaps underfoot, followed by a three-course lunch at lake-side Hotel Müller before you skip the regular queue at Neuschwanstein.

Private Dachau Concentration Camp Tour with Private Transfer from Munich. A black people-carrier collects you from Munich hotels, sparing the awkward S-Bahn ride to Dachau. Gravel crunches underfoot as you trace the "Path of the Prisoners," past 32,000 murdered and into a reconstructed barrack that still smells faintly of pine tar.

Wright Europe Vacations - Private Escorted Auto Tours. A chauffeured Mercedes S-Class becomes your Munich living room for up to 12 days, sweeping from Alpine passes to Salzburg alleys while a former BMW engineer narrates roadside engineering feats. Champagne chills in the arm-rest; your only job is to decide whether to stop for cows wearing mirrored bells.
