Experience Munich
Munich offers a rare combination of historic elegance, green open spaces, and vibrant city life. With its walkable city center, welcoming atmosphere, and rich cultural heritage, the city invites conference participants to explore, relax, and connect beyond the scientific program. Whether before morning sessions or after a full day of discussions, Munich provides an inspiring setting for both discovery and downtime.
Marienplatz & The Old Town
For centuries, Marienplatz has been the cultural and social heart of Munich. The square is dominated by the impressive New Town Hall and its famous Glockenspiel, which draws visitors from around the world. From here, you can easily explore the Old Town’s historic churches, hidden courtyards, and pedestrian streets filled with cafés, restaurants, and shops.
The English Garden
Extending from the city center toward Munich’s northern districts, the English Garden is one of the largest urban parks in the world. Wide meadows, shaded paths, and riverbanks offer a peaceful contrast to the energy of the city. Here, you can take a break between sessions, enjoy a quiet walk, or visit one of the traditional beer gardens. A uniquely Munich highlight is the Eisbach wave, where surfers can be seen riding the current year-round.
Viktualienmarkt
Just a short walk from Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt is Munich’s most famous open-air food market. Colorful stalls offer fresh produce, Bavarian delicacies, international specialties, and ready-to-eat meals. It is a lively place to stop for lunch, sample local flavors, or pick up unique souvenirs, while experiencing the rhythm of daily life in the city.
Nymphenburg Palace
Once the summer residence of Bavarian royalty, Nymphenburg Palace is surrounded by expansive gardens, canals, and parkland. The palace complex offers insight into Munich’s royal history and provides a tranquil escape from the city center. It is an ideal destination for a half-day visit, combining cultural discovery with a relaxing outdoor setting.
