This 11th-century cathedral, the city's oldest remaining church, is best known for its beautiful golden interior.

The Church of St Peter is one of Munich's main landmarks as it is the oldest church in the city and has a 300 foot bell tower with an observation deck at 184 feet offering a panoramic view and great photo opportunity over the Old Town and the Marienplatz. If you want to take advantage of this view, you have to climb 299 steps as there is no elevator. When the weather is clear, it is said that you can see all the way to the Alps. There is a small 3 euro entrance fee to the observation deck which is open from 10 AM to 6 PM. Inside the church is a magnificent 18th century gilded high altar and large ceiling frescos. A very macabre display in the church is located in the second chapel on the left side. There you will find the skeleton remains of St Mundita which is gilded in gold and covered with precious stones. Jewels even adorn her rotted teeth and false eyes. Mass times at the church are Saturday evening at 6 PM and Sunday 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM and 6 PM. Weekday masses are at 8:30 AM 10 AM, 11:30 AM and 6 PM. On many Sundays throughout the year (especially during significant church holidays) you can hear members of the Munich orchestra and the Chamber Choir St Peters perform Viennese classical music, South German romantic works and even contemporary music.

The palace is three miles from city and you can take the tram #17 (direction Amalienburgstrasse). Cost : combo-ticket 11.50 - main palace, garden (always open and free), plus extra small palaces as a hunting lodge Amalienburg, bath house Badenburg, pagoda and fake ruins. The palace is stingy on free information, you'll need the audio guide - extra 3.50 at your own language. Allow at least three -four hours (including travel time) to see whole the palace complex at a leisurely pace. The palace interior, while interesting, is much less extensive than Munich's Residenz. For 200 years, this oasis of palaces and garden was the Wittelsbach rulers' summer vacation home. It was here Ludwig II ("Mad" King, the last Bavarian King) was born and was christened the very next day in the famous Great Hall (it is really breathtaking hall) of the main palace. I was here a seven-year-old Mozart gave a widely heralded concert. Very worth to see the King Ludwig I's Gallery of Beauties. The portrait of his wife and mother of Ludwig II, belongs to this gallery among other 36 beautiful women. The park is huge and laced with canals and small lakes, where court guests one rode on Venetia-style gondolas. If you are there, visit hunting lodge, beautiful decorated Rococo style small palace located three hundred yards from main building) - it's the most worthwhile of the four small "extra" palaces - Amalienburg (see that topic)

This is a small church in Munich in the old town area very close to the Marienplatz. This is the Church of St. Johann Nepomuk, also known as the Asam brothers church. This is an amazingly beautiful and full of details built in a Baroque style by two brothers. The two Asam brothers who were sculptor and painter built this beautiful church as a showcase of their talent. They lived there and met with their clients over there. This is simply a breathtaking and magnificent monument with lots of great artful details. Bravo Asam brothers. It is a must see in Munich.

I feel if you are able to visit Dachau while in Munich it's worth a visit. It's a very sobering experience to walk through the grounds of this facility and to learn more about the history that took place here. We took the train from Munich and then the bus from the train stop. It was easy to get there as well. Give yourself a few hours to get through the entire facility.

Why do people moan about visiting a museum when they aren’t interested in the history, beats me. So to all those people who moan about being ripped off or the staff not speaking English (which they do by the way) etc, go on the web site and everything you need to know is written in black and white, ‘O’ and in English. The cost to get in is €3 which includes the Audio guide, free for school kids, Military and Emergency Services etc, so what’s to moan about..... This is the 3rd time I’ve been here, the Bunker System was great, the new museum being built, due to be open in 2 years will be brilliant. So at the moment it is a bit cramped but that’ll all be rectified come 2021 ‘ish’...... Ps if you want to moan about what’s exhibited and written then write to these people instead of moaning at the staff..... (A permanent exhibition on the history of Obersalzberg and the Nazi dictatorship by the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History)......
