Munich Sights From TikTok: From Theresienwiese to a VR Ball Pit
The Munich in these eight posts is not the usual palace tour. One creator films a cinema where you eat pretzels with Obazda in a red velvet recliner, another goes into a VR ball pit, and Hackerbrücke, a 19th-century railway bridge listed as a sunset photo spot, gets a post of its own. The more traditional stops are Theresienwiese, the Oktoberfest grounds, and a toy museum inside the Old Town Hall tower on Marienplatz.
Half the list is free. Theresienwiese, Hackerbrücke, BMW Welt and the Lothringer 13 art space cost nothing to visit. The paid places give their prices: tickets at the ASTOR Film Lounge run around 15 euros for adults, and the Spielzeugmuseum München charges 8 euros. Two contemporary art spaces, Kunstverein München and Lothringer 13, come from the same creator's list of favorites.

Where creators go
- ASTOR Film Lounge im ARRI
ASTOR Film Lounge im ARRI on Türkenstraße is a luxury cinema with handmade red velvet recliners. The creator's post is about the food: at-seat service with pretzels and Obazda, cheese platters, cocktails and wine, plus a welcome drink on arrival. Tickets cost around 15 euros for adults, according to the post.
- Dream Rooms - Eine begehbare Traumwelt in München
Dream Rooms is an immersive exhibition in the Neue Hopfenpost on Seidlstraße, a run of neon-lit, multi-sensory rooms that each look different. The creator's tip is the VR pool, where you wear a headset inside a ball pit, billed as the world's first. Allow 60 to 90 minutes. The post shared a 10% discount code, NOTFROMMUNICH.
- Theresienwiese
Theresienwiese is the 42-hectare open ground that hosts Oktoberfest every year, along with the Spring Festival and the winter Tollwood. The Bavaria statue and the Ruhmeshalle stand at its edge. Outside festival season, locals use it as open space, so it is worth a walk even when the tents are gone.
- Hackerbrücke
Hackerbrücke is a 19th-century riveted steel arch bridge over the railway lines west of the main station, now a protected monument. It is listed as a popular spot for sunset photography. It is also a working transport hub for S-Bahn, trams and buses, so it is easy to reach.
- Spielzeugmuseum München
The Spielzeugmuseum München fills four floors of the Old Town Hall tower on Marienplatz with four centuries of toys from the Ivan Steiger collection: antique dolls, trains, tin toys, Barbie dolls and vintage robots. Admission is 8 euros per person. It sits right on the main square.
- BMW Welt
BMW Welt, next to the Olympic Park, is a glass and steel exhibition and delivery center showing BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce models, with dining and shops inside. Entry is free. The post about it is a sponsored video on a free exhibition of all 20 BMW Art Cars, so check whether that show is still running.

Contemporary art
Two art spaces come from one creator's list of Munich favorites. They are small, serious places rather than big museums.
- Kunstverein München, Galeriestraße 4: one of Germany's oldest art associations, founded in 1823, showing contemporary art in the Hofgarten arcades.
- Lothringer 13 Halle, Lothringer Straße 13 in Haidhausen: a free municipal art space in a former industrial building, with a library, archive and sound studio, plus lectures, screenings and listening series.
