My son lives in that neck of the woods. I can ask him for specific recommendations if you like? Sounds like you’ll have local guides though.
I really like Germany myself. I have a tiny smattering of German and I felt folks liked my bad attempts to use it so maybe get a few phrases together and numbers etc. Good food. Great beer. Nice people. Fairly chill everywhere.
In general as a tourist it’s a good idea in Germany to use public transport (and walking) to get around in big cities. They do have a decent u-bahn in Munich (subway) so maybe check out the maps for that before you go.
Hope you have fun! Is this your first time coming to Europe? Or just Germany specifically?

Well, welcome to Europe so! I hope you have a great time.
Yeah definitely try to overcome the discomfort of using the trains / subway. Once you’ve done it once it becomes easy and they’re a great way to get around.
In general I like to do the tourist walking tours in big European cities. You get to see around, meet a bunch of others and get a feel for the city plus get little nuggets of history etc all for very little money.
I’ll check with the young lad about specific recommendations and get back to you.
How long are you coming for?

I second a sibling poster, take the train instead of a plane if you want to travel around. This website has all the info you need www.seat61.com/…/trains-from-Munich.htm

Think about a short trip to Paris maybe. TGV ist a pretty good option from Munich to Paris.

Oh that’s a lot of time! You’re right in the middle of Europe so everywhere is accessible and will probably get bored in a single city in that timeframe.
Consider a trip to Prague or Milan maybe. You could even go to Amsterdam or Berlin or hop on a flight to Rome. Internal flights are cheap.
