Places to stay in Munich

Munich is the capital of Bavaria and the third biggest city in Germany, just after Berlin and Hamburg. Munich also has the highest quality of life in a Germanic country. It is an important economic power, and is home to BMW, Siemens AG and Allianz. Heinrich Heine once wrote, “Munich is nestled between art and beer like a village between hills” - he wasn’t far wrong. This city in the south of Germany is famous for its biggest celebration of beer in Europe, Oktoberfest. From your Munich apartment, you can visit some of the most famous museums in the world such as the Old Pinakothek, the Lenbachhaus Gallery and the New Pinakothek. Another important cultural centre is the National Theatre of Munich which is home to the Bavarian State Opera. Many people travel to Munich to watch one of the biggest teams in Germany, Bayern Munich FC. There is plenty to see and do in this city, so we recommend that you need to spend at least a long weekend here. These are the best places to find holiday apartments:

  • Apartments in Altstadt-Lehel: The historic centre of the city and the most populous where most of the touristic activity takes place. It is the best place to stay in Munich, as you will find all of the most popular attractions such as the Marienplatz and the Englischer Garten, alongside many traditional beerhouses.
  • Apartments in Maxvorstadt: This is the one of the best districts to stay in during your trip to Munich. Situated in the north of the city, you can easily get to the Old Town from here. You will find many shops, supermarkets and restaurants here as well as B&Bs; with breakfast included. Maxvorstadt is a buzzing university district, and you will find a large concentration of museums. The Kunstareal or art district is perfect for finding apartments if you’re interested in discovering the cultural centre.
  • Apartments in Ludwigvorstadt: In the south of the city and to the east of Altstadt, you will find the Central Train Station and plenty of cheap apartments. It is home to the Theresienwiese that is a space used to celebrate Oktoberfest each year. Ludwigvorstadt is a multicultural area with some of the best places to eat at good prices.

When to visit the Bavarian capital

If you want to enjoy the festive spirit of Munich, we recommend that you visit between the months of September and October, when Oktoberfest takes place. The beer festival lasts between 15 and 18 days and is one of biggest events for visitors coming to Munich. During these two weeks you can find holiday apartments from £70 per night. Another good time of year to travel to Munich is at the end of autumn, when the Christmas markets are set up in Marienpazt. However, if you want to find cheap apartments in Munich, we recommend that you come in the spring, when accommodation prices are up to 66% cheaper.

How to get around

28km northwest of the city is Munich International Airport, which is home to Lufthansa and named the "best airport in Europe". You can easily reach Munich city centre and get to your serviced apartment. Once in the city centre, you will discover that the public transport system is very efficient and easy to use. With an MVV subscription you can access the U-Bahn (metro), the S-Bhan (train), the tram and urban buses. We recommend renting a bicycle, which is the ideal choice for visiting the English Garden or the Hofgarten, as well as exploring miles of bike lanes in the city.

Marienplatz and other things to see

There are many points of interest to visit in the capital of Bavaria. We have compiled some of the most important for your visit when you rent an apartment in Munich:

  • Marienplatz: This square is found in the historic part of the city centre, and is at the heart of Munich. There are many public celebrations held here, and here you will find St Mary’s Column which stands at 1638m in the centre of the square to commemorate the Swedish invasion. This square also houses the Old and New Munich City Hall. The latter has a famous carillon where several life-size figures perform the "Cooper Dance" everyday at 11:00, 12:00 and 17:00, an act that took place in 1517 to celebrate the end of the plague. Last but not least in the Marientpazt is the Fischbrunnen, a small fountain built after the IIGM and it is one of the most popular meeting points in the Bavarian city.
  • Englischer Garten: In English it is known as the ‘English Garden’ and is a garden of more than 400 hectares. It is one of the largest urban parks in the world. It is the greenest part of the city and has over 78 km of paths for walking or cycling. Within you will find many eclectic buildings such as a Chinese pagoda at 35m in height, a Japanese tea house and a small Greek temple. This park is a popular place to practice surfing, asit is crossed by the Eisbach (a large artificial channel).
  • Hofbräuhaus Beer House: Opened in 1589, this is Munich's flagship brewery and one of the most famous in the world. More than 35,000 people pass through this biërgarten every day, so today it is one of the main tourist attractions in the city. It is particularly popular during the Oktoberfest.
  • Odeonsplatz: This square owes its name to the huge concert hall that was located in the place when it was built. It is surrounded by majestic buildings such as the Feldherrnhalle, Theatinerkirche and the Hofgarten.
  • Theatinerkirche: Recognisable from a distance due to its striking yellow façade, the Theatinerkirche church presents a mixture of baroque domes that have made it one of the symbols of this German city. In fact, it is one of the most outstanding examples of Baroque architecture in Europe, making it one of the must-see places to visit during your trip to Munich.
  • Munich Cathedral: The Frauenkirche was built on the remains of an old Roman basilica and is the largest church in the entire country. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Munich is one of the largest Gothic buildings in Germany and is characterised by its reddish colour and simplicity. Much of its interior was destroyed during the Second World War, although there are still some valuable objects such as the altar of Saint Andreas.
  • Peterskirche: The church of San Pedro is the oldest Catholic church in the German country and a symbol of the city. One of its main points of interest is the 56m high tower, from where you can admire incredible panoramic views of the Marienplatz and the Cathedral. The interior of the basilica houses a somewhat curious relic: the skeleton of Santa Munditia covered in gold and precious stones.
  • The Residenz München: This huge urban palace was used as the official residence of the Bavarian monarchs between 1385 and 1918 and is one of the main points of interest in the city. Inside there are rooms carefully decorated with tapestries and important artistic elements. Important aspects include the Cuvilliés Theatre, the antiquarium and the Treasure of the Wittelsbach, that contain the Crown Jewels. Prices are € 13 for adults and € 10.50 for students to enter.
  • Hofgarten: A beautiful garden of Italian Renaissance style built on the north facade of the Residenz München. The central pillar of the garden is the Temple of Diana, a pavilion with different roads running through it. The Hofgarten is surrounded by buildings such as the Bavarian State Chancellery, the Banquet Hall and an art gallery.
  • Neuschwanstein Castle: Not far from the capital of the state of Bavaria you can take a day trip to this medieval castle that was surprisingly not built for defensive purposes. This beautiful construction combines several architectural styles and is decorated by multiple pieces of craftsmanship.
  • La Kehlsteinhaus: Another interesting day trip from Munich is Hitler's retreat in the Bavarian Alps, one of the few buildings linked to the Nazi party that are still preserved in Germany. This chalet-style house is located near Berghof, one of the leader's main residences, and is an hour 50 minutes by car from Munich.
