BY AIR

Munich International Airport is located 30 km (18 mi) north-east of Munich, close to the city Freising. Originally, the airport was closer to the city center in Riem.

Intercontinental destinations include Abu Dhabi, Atlanta, Bangkok, Beijing, Boston, Cairo, Charlotte, Chicago, Delhi, Denver, Doha, Dubai, Hong Kong, Houston, Jakarta, Jeddah, Johannesburg, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Montreal, Mumbai, Muscat, New York, Osaka, Philadelphia, Riyadh, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Toronto, Washington and many others.

Neuschwanstein

Cruise out of Munich on a short train ride to the lush rural idyll of Bavaria. Sitting at the foot of the Alps in a romantic setting, Neuschwanstein Castle towers over rocky crags and would fit into any tale of fantasy. The distinctive Marienbrucke, a wooden footbridge over a ravine, provides a sweeping view of the castle and the valley floor beyond.

Choose to enter the castle and have your guide explain more of its esteemed history, or take some free time to explore the local district. There's plenty of time for a swim in the lake, or enjoy one of the most famous Bavarian traditions – a refreshing stein in a local beer garden – before the train departs back for Munich.

Third Reich Tour

As you meander through the centre of the city, you pass landmarks including the Hofbrauhaus and Karolinenplatz, the site of Nazi rallies, as well as memorials to victims of the Third Reich and Altes Rathaus – the starting point of the "Night of Broken Glass" – all of which showcase the scars of the city's dark past.

Gain further insight into the Nazi reign as you listen to stories about the shocking reality of Hitler's dictatorship from your knowledgeable guide.
