The Platzl team has put together a selection of the best things to do, highlighting where Munich feels especially vibrant over the holiday—and what shouldn’t be missed.
Easter Festival at Olympiapark
A long-standing favorite on Munich’s event calendar, the Easter Festival at Olympiapark blends the charm of a traditional fair with a lively springtime atmosphere.

Easter Activities at Munich Airport Visitor Park
For a slightly different kind of outing, the visitor park at Munich Airport offers a unique Easter experience. Here, the classic Easter egg hunt is combined with a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of an international airport. The spacious grounds provide plenty of room to explore, making it an engaging and memorable activity—especially for families.
Easter fun at the zoo
Hellabrunn Zoo, one of Munich’s most popular attractions, is especially lively during the Easter season. An Easter-themed rally adds a playful twist to the visit, encouraging guests to explore the zoo in a new way. Combined with the zoo’s expansive layout and diverse wildlife, it’s an ideal springtime outing.
Spring Experiences at BMW Welt & BMW Museum
BMW Welt and the BMW Museum also embrace the Easter season with special programming. Creative workshops and interactive activities add variety and make the experience particularly engaging for families. Alongside hands-on elements and small discovery tours, the exhibitions offer fascinating insights into design, technology, and mobility—a well-balanced mix of inspiration and entertainment.
Spring Walks Through Munich
Beyond organized events, it’s often the quieter moments that make Munich especially enjoyable at Easter. A walk along the Isar, through the English Garden, or around the historic old town reveals new perspectives at every turn. As temperatures rise, it’s the perfect time to slow down—perhaps with a stop at a beer garden or café, enjoying early signs of spring.
Culinary Easter Experiences at Platzl
Easter weekend also brings culinary highlights. Within the Platzl restaurants, seasonal events and Easter brunch offerings take center stage during the holidays. Taking a look at the event calendar is well worth it, as new culinary experiences and special formats are regularly added.
