Touch down in Munich with a sugar-dusted Schmalznudeln from Café Frischhut, then stroll to the Botanischer Garten, where giant lily pads float inside steamy glasshouses. For lunch, go classic at Emmeramsmühle’s woodland beer garden, steins of Edelstoff in hand or opt for a seat at Tohru in der Schreiberei – a two-Michelin-starred fusion of German-Japanese flavours. Round things off with skyline views from the Umadum Ferris wheel, then retreat to Koenigshof for a solo swim above the rooftops.

Leave the city behind with a scenic drive to Altmühltal, where gentle river curves, wooded trails and Jurassic limestone hills frame a day of outdoor adventure. Paddle downstream, cycle picturesque forest routes or simply hike to panoramic lookouts. Then continue your journey to Ingolstadt and settle in at the riverfront Maritim Hotel – a sleek stay with views over the Danube.

Today’s all about performance. Kick things off with a morning at the Audi Forum for a celebration of that famed German precision. After a slow lunch at AVUS (the in-house fine dining destination), shift gears by heading to Neuburg an der Donau, 20 minutes away, for the Audi Driving Experience. As evening sets in, dine at Klosterbräu for home-cooked-style dishes tucked inside a former monastery.

Slow the pace with a stay at Block Hotel, your boutique hideaway just moments from Ingolstadt Village. From here, it’s a short hop to the boulevards of this open-air shopping destination, where alfresco cafés, personalised styling and summer-long pop-ups await. Expect performance-driven activewear, sunshine-ready looks and a nod to Bavarian tradition – the perfect sartorial full stop.
