Au-Haidhausen
1 miles from downtown
Hey Mr. DJ! Haidhausen is Munich’s musical heartland. The area’s clubs and cocktail bars cater to a clientele of urbanites, young profs and students. Say oui to the recherché Francophone architecture of the French Quarter, get in on the gastronomic scene, or show up at Barroom for a night of martinis and merriment.

Maxvorstadt
0.9 miles from downtown
Avant-garde. Expressionism. If you have a penchant for paintings, chances are that you’ll find a favourite in the museums and galleries that pepper the streets of Maxvorstadt. Don’t miss Lenbachhaus Gallery for a who’s-who of German art, or the chance for rooftop chats with art students at Augustiner Bräustuben bar.

Ludwigsvorstadt
0.6 miles from downtown
Okoberfest, simply the best. This area has played host to the world’s largest imbibing festival since 1810. When the travelling carnival comes to town, local breweries go into overdrive to prepare for almost twenty days of non-stop merriment. As tourists pour in from all corners of the globe, the city raises a glass to the Bavarian art of beer drinking.

Altstadt - Lehel
0.1 miles from downtown
History is only half the story in Alstadt-Lehel. The copper-domed towers of the Frauenkirche lord over this district, famed for its major galleries and museums. However, it’s just as well known for luxury shopping. Splurge at the famous Oberpollinger department store, then dine at Alois Dallmayr for traditional Bavarian dishes.

Litres of beer, lederhosen and laid-back attitudes – Bavaria’s capital of Munich is where you’ll experience an untranslatable sense of serenity known as 'gemütlichkeit'.
Beer is one of the biggest parts of Bavarian culture, and Munich is filled with places to get your hands on a trademark tankard of golden Pilsner. One of the most historical beer halls is Hofbraühaus, which has been serving steins since 1644. If you want to blend in with the locals, order a Mass – one-litre tankard – of Augustiner, crafted by Munich's oldest independent brewery. The beer calendar culminates in the world-famous Oktoberfest, when over six million people raise their tankards and cheers the Bavarian way with a shout of ‘Prost!’ Soak up your beer with some schweinshaxe (roasted pork knuckle), bratwurst (pork sausage) or fresh pretzels.
Munich is much more than just its beer halls – just take a stroll through its beautiful main square, Marienplatz, to see for yourself. Its famous glockenspiel comes to life throughout the day, playing music on 43 bells and depicting historical events through charming dancing animatronic figures. Just a short walk away from the square is the 15th-century Frauenkirche cathedral, known for its iconic domed towers.
The easiest way to make your way around Munich is with a tageskarte, which gives you unlimited use of public transport for an entire day. For added freedom and fun, you can also hop on one of the many public e-scooters sprinkled around the city.

Sunday early evening perfect time to visit Munich centre. Must see - interior of St Michael church, and Munich Dom for Vespers with Organ and young chorister, followed by evening meal at Rathaus and Ratskeller with Bavarian music and local elderly folk dancing.
An enjoyable time in my short stay.

An enjoyable time in my short stay. People are friendly, and there is no rush as you find in the big cities. Great place to visit. The Hop on, hop off buses are great. However, be wary as when they return to their start, they tend to then change to a different route. For example, if you hop on partway through their route, when they get back to their starting point, check with the bus driver if the route will continue or if you need to hop on another bus. The staff are helpful and friendly but just be aware of this.
Three different routes on the hop-on bus!
August 16, 2025
Three different routes on the hop-on bus! Enough things to do to keep you busy for about 3 days. Lots of good food options and the English gardens!. Great Museum options if that's your thing. The tourist shopping street was a bit too much for me and crowded. Easy access from the Bahnhof into the core area. The NS historical stuff is a little spooky but that's all in the past.

Munich centre is always full of people, even on Sunday with all shops closed, its packed with people eating and drinking and watching the glockenspiel show on the town hall clock tower. The Beer kellers are fantastic, there are terrace cafes and resaurants eveywhere. No cars near the city centre. The locals all eat and drink in the centre, its not just tourists. The market is brilliant. All the Beer gardens are fabulous. The public transport is cheap and amazingly good (9.60 euro per day for bus+tram+underground). bus, tram, underground all arrive every few minutes and late into the night. You will never need a taxi/uber! My favourite city in Germany so far. Englisher Garten is a massive park full of beer gartens! The people are pretty freindly. Beats Berlin and Hamburg and they are pretty amazing.

We were only in Munich for a day and a half and just could not fit it all in without it being chaotic. Great restaurants and shopping and a lot to do in the city itself, not to mention to easy connectivity to other great spots (Nuremberg, southern Bavaria, Regensburg, Rothenburg and historic sites like Dachau). I would have loved to have had 4 days for the city itself.
