# Explore Munich With Your Hire Car

There’s so much to see in and around the city – and a Munich airport car hire will help you see it all.

If you’re staying central, don’t miss out on watching a session of river surfing at the Eisbach river, then visit some art galleries or check out for unusual museums, such as the Potato Museum. Also, try to time your visit so you’re in town for one of Munich’s fabulous special events.

Once you’ve explored the centre thoroughly, be sure to take a day trip or two outside the city. You might visit a castle that used to belong to Bavarian royalty, such as Schloss Nymphenburg, or simply spend a day hiking in nature on a nearby mountain.

Or, you could be even more adventurous, and head over the border to a neighbouring country.

Five Special Events You Shouldn’t Miss in Munich

From Oktoberfest to Christmas Markets, Munich has a busy calendar of special events. There’s something happening every season.

The biggest festival of the year is undoubtedly Oktoberfest. For several weeks, the city becomes a carnival of live music, dances, markets, rides and, of course, beer. Despite the name, the fun starts in mid-September and winds up in October.

Stay on with your Munich Airport car hire for another month or so, and you’ll be in Munich for the magical Christmas markets. The most special is Munich Christkindlmarkt in Marienplatz Square, which has been held in the same spot since the 14th century.

If you’re in Munich in July, get along to the Kaltenberg Knights Tournament and travel to the Middle Ages. It’s a feast of mediaeval sports (including jousting), markets and food.

Also in summer is Kocherball, which takes place first thing in the morning – from 6am till 10am. Prepare for the best of Bavarian tradition, from beer and food to music and costumes.

And, in spring, be part of Frühlingsfest, a quieter version of Oktoberfest, with smaller crowds (but just as much beer and music).

Five Extraordinary Day Trips From Munich

The mediaeval villages, magical castles and spectacular mountains of Bavaria all lie within a couple of hours’ travel by your Munich Airport car hire from Munich.

Start your adventures at Rothenburg, built in the 1100s. Visit a medieval castle, wander through mysterious passageways and see inside impeccably preserved wooden houses.

To spend a day in fairytale land, head to Neuschwanstein Castle. Built in the 1800s by King Ludwig II, this extraordinary building is perched atop a hill, backdropped by majestic mountains.

For more mountains, take your Munich Airport car rental to Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain, at 2,962 metres above sea level. You can catch a cable car all the way to the summit. The 36- degree views are breathtaking.

Or, for more of King Ludwig II’s mind-blowing architecture, drive to Herrenchiemsee New Palace. It’s a copy of France’s Versailles Palace, built on an island on Chiemsee Lake.

Make road trip number five in your Munich Airport car hire a journey to UNESCO-World Heritage Listed Bamberg, also known as Little Venice. Here, you can catch a gondola along the river system, and sample more than 50 local beers.

Which Countries Can You Visit From Munich?

Munich is located in the south of Germany. It’s an ideal launchpad for trips to the bordering countries of Czechia, Austria and Switzerland.

The magnificent city of Prague lies around four hours’ drive from Munich in Czechia. Along the way, drop into the pretty riverside city of Regensburg, famous for its 12th century stone bridge; swing by Pilsen to experience the home of Pilsner beer; and stop at the gothic Karlštejn Castle.

If you’re into music history, take your Munich Airport car hire to Austria. Salzburg, which lies just over the border (around 90 minutes’ drive from Munich) is the picturesque town where Wolfgang Mozart was born.

Then, to the southwest lies Switzerland. Zürich, the biggest of the Swiss cities, is around three-half-hours’ drive from Munich. En route, check out the Franz March Museum; Andechs Monastery, built in the 10th century; and the baroque architecture of St. Gallen.

Fun Facts About Munich To Know Before You Go

First, Munich is probably best known for its love of beer. It’s the original home of Oktoberfest (the biggest beer festival in the world) and has more than 60 beer gardens where you can while an afternoon away.

Second, you might not expect this of a city so far from the coast, but Munich is a surfing destination. That’s because you can surf on the Eisbach River – on human-made waves. Go along to watch, or maybe even try riding a board yourself.

Third, Munich is where BMWs are made. Its headquarters are inside the BMW Tower, and you can take a guided tour of the BMW factory and museum.

Fourth, the oldest building in Munich is, believe it or not, not a manor, museum or castle, but a toilet. It was found during archaeological excavations and dates to 1260

Fifth, the longest-continuously-operating cinema in the world is Munich. It’s called the Neues Kino Gabriel and has been showing films since 1906. No visit to the city is complete without catching a film here.
