Summer holidays in Munich: a trip to Magic Bavaria

Summer holidays in Munich are perfect for little adventures. For excursions where children discover new things, parents laugh along, and in the end, pictures are taken that will be shared in the family chat for a long time.

If you're looking for a special family outing during the summer holidays, Magic Bavaria is a weather-independent idea right in the heart of Munich. Indoors, air-conditioned and full of rooms where Bavaria is suddenly turned upside down.

On 1,000 m² you'll experience over 30 interactive photo spots, optical illusions, creative backdrops, local art, and fun facts about Bavaria.

Sometimes it's too hot for long walks through the city, sometimes a thunderstorm rolls in, and sometimes you simply need an idea that works regardless of the weather.
