Highly recommended.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30017 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27324
Within a short drive, also visit Schloss Nymphenburg - beautiful.

And if you have a bit more time, Neuschwanstein (the castle Disney used as their model) is a couple of hours away, and truly spectacular.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27324 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12923 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12923 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12921 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12921 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6527
The site is an empty space in which the concentration camp existed and features the crematoria and entrance gate with the inscription 'Arbeit macht frei '.

It was snowy and cold when we went and it was as if time had stopped there. One must not forget what happened. We walked to the site from Dachau station (S2) on the way, which took about 25 minutes or so, but on the way back, I personally could not help getting back to the city centre quickly by bus, as seeing the site was quite a traumatic experience for me.

One would never imagine that Dachau concentration camp is one of the sites that exist within Maerchen-chic Munich. Certainly it makes such a huge difference to your impression of the city if you see this kind of dark historic site as well as pretty tourist attractions. I thought visiting the site even once was certainly worthwhile.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6527 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6555 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6555 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6523
At the Residenz, there are so many wonderful buildings such as Schatzkammer, the courtyards, theater and halls. Hofgarten is next door.

If you have one day to spare, you could happily go around all the areas within Residenz and pop into the National theatre (almost next door) in the evening to see an opera.

There are some boutiques and cafes nearby, so if you get bit peckish, you could always pop into a cafe for a cup of Milchkaffee. Or if you get bored, you could go to Maximilianstrasse to do some shopping.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6523
