Reconnaissance is often a good idea.

For bigger cities, I find buying a Hop-On / Hop-Off bus ticket is a good way to grok the big picture for tourists.  

Usually 24-hours is enough for me. I do the afternoon day 1. Morning day 2.

Typically I’ll ride the entire loop first, deciding on priorities for later.

In Munich I want to visit and/or revisit:

• 1972 Olympic venue / BMW World
• Deutsches Museum
• Nymphenburg Palace and gardens
• English Garden

And more. There’s an interesting Italian market called Eataly, for example.

When I went looking for a good bus video, I found my cycling guru Ryan Van Duzer from 2012.

He was vlogging for Viator Travel at the time.
