Aschheim
Spend half a day in Aschheim, then return to Munich; one day is enough for the museum and church.
Aschheim is a small Bavarian suburb of Munich with a museum and historic church. It is reachable by MVV bus in 30‑40 min from Munich centre, so a half‑day visit fits well as a side‑trip from Munich.
