More things than you can imagine , what sort of things interest you ? - Art museums . architecture , historical interests , palaces , I could go on ad infinitum . What are your preferences ?

I enjoyed the Deutsches Museum. If you enjoy science or technology in the slightest, you will enjoy this museum.

i wouldn't call it a must see, but we really enjoyed the BMW factory tour and BMW WELT/museum. right in the city and very impressive and interesting, for something different.

Hello I have nothing to add but I am curious to see what suggestions you get. I will be there mid summer for two days, need ideas too!

If you just want other people's lists of sights, here are Rick's (scroll down and click "At A Glance"): https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/germany/munich

And here's a list from TripAdvisor (don't book any tours with them - book directly with the sight or tour operator): https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187309-Activities-Munich_Upper_Bavaria_Bavaria.html#ATTRACTION_SORT_WRAPPER

If you want more specific suggestions, you need to answer Steven's questions about what it is, specifically, you are looking for.

I will second the Deutches Museum - I could have spent the whole day there. I also enjoyed (perhaps not the right word) a Third Reich walking tour. Again, we don't know if this is what you're looking for or not.

Go on some themed walking tours or perhaps a bike tour if you want to cover more sites. There are no must sees, as we all have very different interests. Mine might be a church with both the architecture and history being of interest, yours might be a beer hall which would not be my cup of tea at all.

We don't know what you like, if you have been to Germany before, if you are a family with kids or senior citizens. Tell us more to get better suggestions.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. To narrow down our interests somewhat, we enjoy historical places (including museums & monuments), interesting architecture. We have traveled in Italy and have seen many art museums, so probably can skip those. We will have a day and half plus some evenings in Munich. We will be there a total of 5 days, but will travel to some small towns during the day. We enjoying walking and being outdoors (including mealtime!). Want to see some historical sites from World War II. Sites that are indigenous to Munich/Bavaria and Germany.

You mentioned an interest in WW2 sites in Munich. Here is a suggestion.

Follow the route marched by Hitler and his thugs on November 9, 1923 ("Beer Hall Putsch"). The Bürgerbräukeller, where it all started, no longer exists -- the Gasteig/Munich Philharmonic complex now occupies the site. Walk across the Ludwigsbrücke over the Isar, past Isartor, and down Tal to Mariensplatz. Turn right on Weinstraße around the west side of the Neues Rathaus, east on Persuastraße then north on Residenzstraße past the National Theater and alongside the Residenz. The dramatic confrontation between the Nazi marchers and the police took place in the narrow street between the Residenz and Feldherrnhalle. A small brass plaque on the wall of the Residenz bears the names of the policemen killed in that battle.

Sixteen Nazis were also killed, and after Hitler took power ten years later, a monument to them was placed on the side of the Feldherrnhalle, flanked 24/7 by armed SS guards. Everyone walking by the site was required to give the Nazi salute. Many chose instead to avoid it by walking through the alley (Viscardigasse) to the south around to the other side of the Feldherrnhalle. There is an evocative monument to "Shirker's Alley" in the bronze cobblestones in the pavement, and an interpretive sign in German and English on the corner.

From Odeonsplatz walk west on Briennerstraße past the small park dedicated to victims of the Nazis, to the new cube-shaped NS Doku-Zentrum, built on the site of the Third-Reich-era Nazi headquarters building. Next door is Hitler's three-story office building ("Führerbau"), now repurposed as a high school for music and theater (no public access inside). It was in this building that Hitler, Mussolini and Chamberlain signed the infamous 1938 Munich accord. You can see patches in the exterior wall where a huge Nazi eagle had been mounted above Hitler's office window.

On the corner is the foundation of one of the twin "Ehrentempels", built as shrines for the coffins of the Nazis killed in the Beer Hall Putsch. The buildings were leveled by Allied forces immediately after the fall of the Reich.

The city's website offers free downloadable maps and audio guides for walking tours relating to Munich's role in the rise and fall of National Socialism.

For pre-trip study to enhance your visit, look at the Munich pages of the Third Reich in Ruins website. The book that best lays out Munich history before and during WW2 is Where Ghosts Walked - Munich's Road to The Third Reich by David Clay Large. Last I looked, Amazon was out of stock, but you may be able to find it elsewhere. It's worth it.
