Deutsches Museum

Fodor's Review:

Aircraft, vehicles, locomotives, and machinery fill a monumental building on an island in the Isar River. The immense collection is spread out over 19 km (12 mi) of corridors, six floors of exhibits, and 30 departments. Children now have their own area, the Kinderreich, where they can learn about modern technology and science through numerous interactive displays (parents must accompany their child). The most technically advanced planetarium in Europe has up to six shows daily and includes a Laser Magic display. The Internet café on the third floor is open daily 9-3. To arrange for a two-hour tour in English, call at least two weeks in advance. The Verkehrszentrum (Center for Transportation), on the former trade fair grounds at the Theresienhöhe (where Oktoberfest is held), has been completely renovated and houses an amazing collection of the museum's transportation exhibits. It is open until 8 PM on Thursday.

  • Cost: Museum EUR 8.50, Center for Transportation EUR 2.50 (EUR 10 with museum plus shuttle)
  • Open: Daily 9-5
  • Metro: Isartor (S-bahn)
