Attractions Nearby Munich
(Munich, Bavaria, Germany, DE)
A superb tourist destination and full of attractions, the city of Munich offers enough to keep you fully occupied throughout the duration of your stay. However, don't overlook the many attractions just a short drive outside of central Munich, which include historic medieval German towns and friendly, small cities. Particularly popular with families is nearby Legoland, which lies around 78 miles / 126 miles to the west of Munich and is a great amusement park, complete with exciting rides and other fun attractions.
Especially notable is the Neuschwanstein Castle, which was the actual inspiration for the famous Sleeping Beauty Castle within California's Disneyland attraction and is surrounded by breathtaking Bavarian countryside. Also near to Munich, Linderhof Palace stands next to Oberammergau and boasts breathtaking landscaped gardens where you will find the rather unexpected Venus Grotto. Below are the main attractions nearby Munich.
