The Geheimatorte are delighted to invite you to discover some of the lesser-known places in Munich that are easily accessible by public transport. These include the Lenbachhaus in Munich’s Maxvorstadt district, which is well worth a visit!

There’s no doubt about it: this museum is an absolute must-visit with your kids! It’s the perfect place to make art fun and accessible for little ones.

With funny stories, exciting background information and lots of interesting facts to listen to, a visit to the museum becomes a special experience for the little ones.
And then there is the absolutely magnificent garden of the Lenbachhaus, a truly wonderful green oasis of calm right in the middle of the city! It’s the perfect place to relax! With comfortable chairs, a babbling fountain and lots of greenery, it’s the ideal spot to unwind. And there are even bees! Keep an eye out for them – it’s a real treat! The garden is absolutely perfect for taking a little break together!
And guess what! And here’s another amazing thing! You can actually enter the Lenbachhaus art exhibition directly from the subway. The art building is located in the underground mezzanine of the Königsplatz subway station. And there’s more! Special exhibitions are held here regularly. The focus is on cinematic imagery at the moment, which is really exciting! And there’s even a badminton court for a spot of sporting activity in between!

On the trail of the Blue Rider: an excursion to Murnau
If you want to really get to know the Blue Rider, you should definitely take a trip to Murnau! The Münter House is located there, and it’s a hidden gem! It’s where Gabriele Münter, Wassily Kandinsky, and other members of the artist group lived and worked for several years. It’s a truly special place, and it’s even more magical when you combine a visit with a walk through the picturesque Murnau moor.
