Munich and the Bavarian Alps

Munich's old centre and beer gardens sit a short train ride from alpine trails and hillside castles, and this guide plans for both. Maps, cutaway illustrations of major landmarks and suggested itineraries cover the city's museums, churches and food alongside mountain routes, lakes and the villages of southern Bavaria. Practical notes on transport, timing and local custom sit beside the recommendations, and the photography is detailed enough to judge whether a detour is worth a day. Shelf notes: • City coverage paired with routes into the Bavarian Alps • Cutaway illustrations of major buildings and sites • Itineraries scaled from half a day to a full trip • Practical notes on transport and local custom Written for independent travellers and trip planners, published by DK Publishing and available from Boipoka.
