Things to Do & See

Accommodation in Munich abounds, so it’s easy to set up shop and head to the heart of the city. You’ll be dropping knowledge like a local after a tour with the Munich Greeter programme. Greeters are volunteer residents who give insider information while walking you through the city, free of charge. Now that you’re in the know, head to Schloss Nymphenburg, a baroque palace that houses several museums. For a splash more culture, visit the fashionable academia of the Maxvorstadt neighbourhood, home to two of Germany’s top universities and world-class art museums.

A true local might steer you away from Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, the world’s most famous beer hall, but some things are famous for a reason and worth a try. Order a Maß (a one-litre stein of beer) and drink it under the elaborate painted ceiling, or enjoy it outside in the Wirtsgarten. It’s a Munich holiday rite of passage.

“Schwabing” is not just the noise you make when your partner’s lookin’ cute; it’s a cultural centre that holds many shops, cafes, restaurants and the rolling green meadows of Englischer Garten. When you’ve had your fill of sudsy nectar, this forest-lined park is the ideal spot to rest and unwind. Don’t worry though, when you’re ready for round two there are several beer gardens on site.

To really get your party on, go to the clubbing district, Kultfabrik in Haidhausen. Take your pick from more than 30 bars and clubs to sway the night away. Many hotels in Munich are nearby, so don’t fret if you’ve danced your feet sore—you don’t have far to walk.

Getting to & Around the City

Munich International Airport (MUC) is 30 km outside the city, but the S-Bahn lines S1 or S8 will deliver you swiftly to Munich Central Station, where you will find plenty of Munich accommodation a stone’s throw away. If time is on your side when you land, explore the airport a bit—it’s consistently rated the best in Europe.

In town, your transportation options are solid. Take the underground U-Bahn and the Tram to get almost anywhere you need to go. Buy the CityTourCard and the town’s your oyster. If you need to work off some bratwurst and potatoes, use the convenient Call-A-Bike system for short trips, or rent some wheels for the day from a tour company. With 200 km of bike trails, Munich offers many ways to see the city from a saddle.

Get excited. Accommodation in Germany are among some of the best in the world, and Munich is at the top of the pack. Between the art, architecture, beer and bars, you want lastminute.com.au to get you there now—trust us.
