The Dachau region is very close to Munich and many people that live here work in the Munich area.
We came for small events, looked for bargains, enjoyed the food in country style restaurants and especially in beer gardens.
With Elizabeth's dad we visited the concentration camp in Dachau
If you want to stay for a few days in the Munich area, you should always consider staying outside of the busy city.
The public transportation system is state-of-the-art and is very often faster than going by car. It is also less stressful and much more relaxing. Consider also the parking fees in Munich.
Very often free parking is provided where public transportation is offered - but please check that out first.
