The 10 Best Specialty Museums in Munich, Bavaria
Munich exudes Bavarian charm. Beer fanatics should head immediately to the Hofbräuhaus, a hops heaven that’s been churning out the good stuff since 1589. The drinking is downright legendary during Oktoberfest, a celebration of local beers and German specialty foods. Emulate world-class athletes at the Olympiapark, where skating on the Olympic ice rink will make you feel like a champion. The promenade of Marienplatz is perfect for people watching and gawking at the Glockenspiele of City Hall.

Hundreds of thousands of people visit BMW's four-cilinder BMW tower and the bowl-shaped museum next to it each year. The museum showcases the technical development of cars and motorcycles and also has some exhibits about the history of the company. Many old cars and motorcycles are on display along a spiral ramp that curls along the inside of the bowl-shaped building.

Thoroughly enjoyed this "must do" guided tour of the BMW Museum in Munich. Arrived to explore the future of BMW in the Bowl Building. Then rested at M1 Bistro on the terrace before the guided tour started. The guided tour is very informative and relaxing in the new 3-storey building and covers history of motorcycles, aircraft engines and cars, including 2 cars used in James Bond films. Several years from design to production and I now appreciate how much effort BMW apply to maintaining their exemplary reputation. I would also like to thank our guide for a job well done and there was time after the guided tour to revisit and take photos.

The Residenz visit exceeded our expectations. It is well worth it to get the combined ticket to the museum, palace, treasury and Cuvillies Theatre. You are also able to photos without a flash.

BMW Welt is the company's experience and automobile collection centre. It features fascinating, futuristic architecture and hosts a wide range of exhibitions and events. One unique area is the section dedicated to the personalised handover of models of the BMW brand. As of the fifth anniversary of BMW Welt in October 2012 you can discover not just the BMW brand and BMW Motorrad but also the subbrands BMW i and BMW M as well as the BMW Group and its other brands MINI and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, each with their own world of experience.

10. Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 456 reviews
The Verkehrszentrum has adopted a new concept to showcase land transport in the exhibitions in three historic former trade fair halls at the Theresienhöhe facility. Trams, buses, cars, and two-wheelers drive down a road through time to the past and tell the stories of inner-city transport systems, infrastructures and traffic safety. Coaches, fast train locomotives, Pullman cars, and caravans paint a picture of the urge to travel from the pilgrimage to modern camper vans. The Verkehrszentrum breaks new ground with its exhibition concept. It attempts to present mobility in all its complexity.

Firstly let me solve a little confusion that appears to have crept into one or two of the reviews. This is Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum which is essentially a transport museum (and a very good one). It is not the Deutsches Museum which is further east and is a technology museum. The museum is easy to find being clearly signposted from the Schwanthalerhöhe underground station and is next to a giant snail. You'll know when you see it. It is bright, modern, welcoming and has an amazing collection of exhibits with a huge number of vehicles - cars, bikes, trains, trams, buses and even a bin wagon that I sat in - well, where else do you get the chance these days? The audio-guide was free and was very useful, but the most helpful aspect of this museum was the staff who were patient and engaging.
