Munich is a winter and Christmas wonderland. The Christmas market on Marienplatz will be crowded, but it is a must-see. If you are into playing or watching the ice game of curling, check out the track in front of the Nymphenburg Palace. During Advent, hop aboard the Christmas tram (after buying a ticket!) to escape the cold. If the weather gets to be too cold, there are many spas in Munich, or you can also go to the Botanical Gardens. Take a 2-hour drive from the city to the highest mountain in Germany, the Zugspitze. Once there you can go hiking or skiing and enjoy the views. The roads within Munich can be traversed in a luxury sedan, but if heading out of the city, an SUV or 4-wheel-drive vehicle with winter tires is recommended. And be sure to check the availability of ski racks.
Of course, you can't visit Germany and not pay homage to their historical contribution to the automobile industry. Located near Munich's Olympiapark, which hosted the Olympics in 1972, BMW Welt, is perfect for car enthusiasts and those interested in contemporary German history. Various exhibitions and events are hosted at the BMW Museum, such as the Night of the White Gloves where visitors are permitted to touch the vehicles, with the gloves on of course! There are both permanent and temporary exhibitions, from BMW Art Cars to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, so there's something exciting for everyone.
