Top Munich On the Water

Soccer fans—this one’s for you. Start your day with a sightseeing bus tour of Munich, which ends up at the home of FC Bayern Munich—the Allianz Arena.

Get acquainted with Munich the easy way on a fun, flexible hop-on hop-off city bus tour. Choose a 24-hour Express Tour to check out Munich’s main highlights or a 24-hour or 48-hour Grand Tour ticket to widen your sightseeing net. Either way, settle aboard an open-top double-decker bus, listen to the enlightening onboard commentary, and enjoy panoramic views of sites such as the Marienplatz, Hofbrauhaus, Viktualienmarkt and more. Hop off at the stops that interest you, explore on foot and then re-board the bus at any stop you wish.

Check out the grand Herrenchiemsee Castle on a private day trip from Munich. After traveling to the banks of Lake Chiemsee, you'll cruise across the water to Herrenchiemsee Island where the sprawling castle estate is set. Switch to a horse-drawn carriage to travel in style to the gates, then take a guided tour of the premises and a lunch break before heading back to your Munich hotel.

Delight in southern Germany’s Alpine scenery on this private full-day tour from Munich. Travel into Schonau am Konigssee near the Austrian border, and ride a boat on Lake Königssee to admire the views. Choose an optional walk to a waterfall, savor a restaurant lunch, and visit Berchtesgaden’s salt mine, descending a slide into the depths, cruising an underground lake, and discovering the centuries-old mining methods. Private transport and Munich hotel and airport pickup and drop-off included.

Take an excursion from Munich the way Bavarians do and set off for the alpine retreat of Tegernsee. Your private guide will pick you up from the Bavarian capital and drive you to the foothills of the alps, where you’ll explore the town of Tegernsee, dine in its top eateries, and take a boat tour across its namesake lake. Upgrade to cap off the day with a hot air balloon ride.

Take a day out of your Munich vacation to visit Chiemsee, and take tours of the elegant Herrenchiemsee New Palace, the lake island of Fraueninsel, and the Benedictine Kloster Frauenchiemsee. The day trip includes a private local guide and round-trip transport just for your personal group, meaning you can cut out the crowds and discover Chiemsee more intimately.
