Touching down at Munich Airport puts you within easy reach of Unterschleissheim, Germany. Getting yourself a scooter rental or motorcycle rental means you can be off exploring this charming town and its surroundings without delay. Unterschleissheim owes much of its fame to the grand palace, the Schleissheim Palace, erected in the Baroque style by Prince-Elector Maximilian I in the 17th century.
Wander through the opulent rooms and galleries exhibiting works by old masters like Rubens and van Dyck. The palace grounds also encompass the Neues Schloss Schleissheim, a more understated rococo palace housing collections of sculpture and Greek vases. Yet a scooter rental opens up chances to uncover more of Unterschleissheim than the palaces alone.
Cruise through the quaint Old Town, with its traditional Bavarian houses and cosy restaurants serving hearty German fare. Stop off at the Church of St. Stephan, its tower dating back to the 12th century. Local parks like the Schlosspark provide idyllic spots to lay out a picnic blanket under the shade of chestnut trees.
With your own set of wheels, you could take a spin to nearby towns like Oberschleissheim, Garching or Aschheim to admire their historic church buildings. Or head for the Isar River, always a refreshing place to stop on a summer's day. Munich city is just a short ride away too - absorb the magnificent architecture and fascinating history of Bavaria's capital.
Wherever your motorcycle rental takes you around Unterschleissheim, embracing the slower pace grants you time to soak up the charm of this region steeped in tradition.
