Munich runs on a rare combination of old-money Bavarian tradition and genuine cosmopolitan comfort: beer halls and the Viktualienmarkt sit close to the Pinakothek museums and the sprawling Englischer Garten, where surfers ride a standing wave on the Eisbach. It's a wealthy, orderly, walkable city that takes its beer gardens and its Oktoberfest as seriously as its art collections.

Idéal pourbeer gardens and Bavarian culture, a top-tier museum quarter, and easy access to the Alps

Se déplacerMunich Airport connects to the centre via the S1 and S8 S-Bahn lines in about 40-45 minutes. The old town, Marienplatz, and Englischer Garten are walkable; the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and tram network is fast and reliable for anything further out, including Schwabing and Glockenbachviertel.
Où logerMaxvorstadt - the museum quarter (Pinakotheken, Lenbachhaus), studenty and close to the centre; Schwabing - bohemian, borders the Englischer Garten, good cafes and a quieter pace; Glockenbachviertel - Munich's trendiest nightlife and LGBTQ+ hub around Gartnerplatz, lively after dark
À éviter sibudget travellers — Munich is one of Germany's most expensive cities for both accommodation and dining
