Spend time together at the thermal baths
During the cold season, a visit to the thermal baths is always particularly cozy and relaxing. If you also have the time and desire for a trip outside Munich, you can take the train to the Chiemgau Thermen in Bad Endorf. There you will find a dreamlike thermal spa landscape with attractions such as the rock lagoon with a hot water pool in the indoor spa, the 125-meter-long lazy river, the 40 m² outdoor whirlpool right next to the almost 400 m² activity pool, the spacious panoramic sunbathing lawn with cabana bar, as well as the relaxation lounge and the exclusive premium lounge. Lake and mountain views always included.
You can save money on admission with the CityTourCard Munich. A day ticket + rental towel is available for only €22.40!

And because walking makes you hungry, you can take a break at the Schlosscafé in the Palm House. Whether you just want coffee and cake or a proper lunch, you'll find lots of tasty treats here. By the way, the house specialty is their homemade cream puffs! And with a CityTourCard, you'll get a discount, of course - a full 50%!

Take part in a dance demonstration
February 14 is not only celebrated as Valentine's Day, but there is also a worldwide demonstration on a very important issue: violence against girls and women. The movement One Billion Rising draws attention to this issue every year on Valentine's Day, not in the traditional sense of a demonstration, but through dance! There is a simple choreography that is suitable for all ages and skill levels. So if you want to spend Valentine's Day doing something different and also do some good, be sure to stop by and join in the dance!
Start: 12 noon Karl-Stützel-Platz
approx. 12:30 p.m. Lenbachplatz
approx. 1 p.m. Königsplatz End

Between Valentine's Day and dance demonstrations, there is another important day: Ferris Wheel Day! And the best place to celebrate it is at Umadum, Munich's Ferris wheel! Every day, the world's tallest transportable Ferris wheel offers the most spectacular view of Munich. From a height of almost 80 meters, the Umadum first offers a view of the Werksviertel district, before opening up to the Frauenkirche, the Olympic Tower, and the Allianz Arena. You can save 20% on a ticket for one trip (30 minutes) with the Munich CityTourCard. With a bit of luck and good weather, you can even see as far as the Alps!
