<p>It&#39;s difficult to find accommodation during the famous <strong>Oktoberfest</strong> and prices in the city increase significantly, but it&#39;s still <strong>the best time to visit Munich</strong> . This is the only beer harvest festival in the world celebrated on such a grand scale. During two weeks, Munich is visited by almost 6 million people from all over the world. The official beginning of the event is <strong>the taping of the first barrel of beer</strong> by the city mayor. According to tradition, the first mug is received by the Prime Minister of Bavaria.</p><h3> Off season</h3><p> If you don&#39;t like such big crowds <strong>, visit the capital of Bavaria between June and the beginning of September</strong> . With the first rays of sunlight, the city blooms and the streets and beer gardens become cheerful and noisy.</p>

When to visit Munich?

<p>The historic part of Munich <strong>is easily explored on foot</strong> . However, if you plan to use public transport <strong>, invest in the München Card,</strong> which guarantees free travel on buses, trams and metro, as well as discounts to many museums.</p><h3> New and Old Town Hall </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/niemcy/monachium/monachium-9.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Munich" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> New Town Hall, Munich, Germany - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The neo-Gothic <strong>New Town Hall</strong> located on St. Mary&#39;s Square is the most characteristic building in the historic part of Munich. A huge clock mechanism installed in the town hall tower <strong>activates copper figures every morning, which,</strong> accompanied by one of 20 melodies, recreate scenes from the wedding of William V the Pious with Renata von Lothringen and the coopers&#39; dance from 1517.

In the beautifully restored and richly decorated 130 rooms of the museum, you can admire objects collected by the Wittelsbach family, furniture, paintings, dishes and devotional items. The most valuable exhibits (including the Bavarian crown jewels and portable Renaissance altars) <strong>are located in the treasury</strong> (Schatzkammer).</p><h3> Old Pinacothek </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/niemcy/monachium/monachium-alte-pinakothek.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Munich Alte Pinakothek" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Alte Pinakothek, Munich, Germany - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> Art gallery (Alte Pinakothek <em>)</em> , which boasts one of <strong>the most valuable collections not only in Germany, but also in the whole world.</strong> There are mainly works by masters living from the 14th to the 18th century.

The Allianz Arena <strong>can be visited every day</strong> except match days. The admission ticket includes <strong>a guided walk around the stadium and a visit to a small museum</strong> presenting the history of Bayern München.</p>

Monuments in Munich

<p>Nightlife in Munich <strong>revolves around beer.</strong> Wide wooden benches in breweries, beer halls and gardens are filled already in the afternoon, and even earlier on weekends. In traditional Bavarian beer gardens, only beer is served, which is poured from large wooden barrels at the bar. Many of them allow you to bring your own snacks. The best beer gardens in the city are the Biergarten on Viktualienmarkt, Augustiner-Keller, Wirtshaus in Bavariapark, Ayinger am Platzl and Hirschau. </p><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/niemcy/monachium/monachium-5.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Munich" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Munich, Germany - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> Find respite from the rough, beer atmosphere in the nightclubs, hipster bars and cozy cafes <strong>of the student districts of Maxvorstadt and Schwabing.</strong></p><h3> Hofbräuhaus</h3><p> The most popular and most touristic beer hall. Despite the crowds, it is worth visiting because it has <strong>a truly unique Bavarian atmosphere.</strong> Reasonable beer and food prices, fast and friendly service (Platzl 9).</p><h3> Chinesischer Turm</h3><p> A huge beer garden with almost <strong>7,000 seats in the heart of the Englischer Garten</strong> . In summer it&#39;s full of people and always a great atmosphere (Englischer Garten 3).</p><h3> Sehnsucht Bar</h3><p> A cozy, if slightly eccentrically decorated bar with friendly service and reasonable prices. <strong>Rock, casual atmosphere,</strong> comfortable sofas and company of very different ages (Amalienstraße 26).</p><h3> Theresa Bar</h3><p> Decadent atmosphere, atmospheric light and relaxing music in the background. A great bar <strong>for a quieter evening or</strong> <strong>a date</strong> (Theresienstraße 31).</p><h3> Neuraum</h3><p> A large disco in the city center, open only on weekends. <strong>Perfect for an all-night party</strong> . There are three dance floors with a different mix of music and a lot of young people (Arnulfstraße 17).</p><h3> Harry Klein</h3><p> Industrial atmosphere and <strong>electro and techno parties</strong> . The club often promotes new DJs. On Thursdays there are student parties and quite crowded (Sonnenstraße 8).</p><h3> Palais Club</h3><p> Typical nightclub with <strong>varied music, pleasant staff</strong> and reasonable drink prices. Unfortunately, the dance floor is a bit small (Arnulfstraße 16-18).</p><h3> Rote Sonne</h3><p> A perfect place if you just want to dance. The atmosphere is like in <strong>the best clubs in Ibiza</strong> . Lots of strobes, lots of people and good energy. The speakers mainly techno and electro (Maximilianspl. 5).</p><h3> CALL SOUL - Breaking Bar</h3><p> <strong>Creative cocktail menu</strong> , vegetarian cuisine and pleasant service. The perfect bar to start the evening (Biedersteiner Str. 6).</p><h3> Distillers Bar</h3><p> One of <strong>the best cocktail bars in town</strong> . Fancy, colorful drinks, a wide selection of herbal tinctures and gins (Occamstraße 2).</p>

Nightlife in Munich

<h3>English Garden</h3><p> The largest green area in the city center is <strong>the English Garden.</strong> The vast nature park on the Isar River looks particularly beautiful in spring and summer, but Munich residents like to come here all year round. In Englischer Garten you can walk, sunbathe, ride a bike, kayak or pedal boat on the Kleinhesseloher See lake, sip a beer in the popular Seehaus, or celebrate drinking tea in the Japanisches Teehaus. It&#39;s the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. </p><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/niemcy/monachium/monachium-6.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Munich" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Munich, Germany - © Brate</figcaption></figure>

Nature in Munich

<h3>CCC container Collective</h3><p> One of the few places that has not yet fallen into the Munich mainstream. <strong>CCC container Collective</strong> (Atelierstraße 4) is <strong>a container space</strong> where you will find bars serving cold beers, small local shops and places serving cuisine from all over the world. In the evenings, the hipster crowd gathers here.</p><h3> Umschreibung</h3><p> An unpopular sculpture by artist <strong>Olafur Eliasson</strong> depicts a twisting endless staircase. <strong>The Umschreibung</strong> (Ganghoferstraße 29A) also known as <strong>&quot;Endless Staircase&quot;</strong> is located in the enclosed courtyard of the KPMG building in the Schwanthalerhöhe district. This is a great place for <strong>an original photo</strong> and sculpture, especially appreciated by architectural photographers.</p><h3 class="DUwDvf fontHeadlineLarge"> Eisbachwelle</h3><p> At the entrance to the Englischer Garden you can meet many surfers who came to catch the city&#39;s waves on the <strong>Eisbach</strong> River. Their performances are always watched by a crowd of onlookers. If you have equipment with you and want to go surfing, go ahead and catch some waves, regardless of your age! The only limitation may be your skills, so if you are still an amateur of this sport, we recommend staying on the shore because the waves here are quite demanding.</p><h3> Justizpalast</h3><p> The current headquarters of the Ministry of Justice is often omitted in guidebooks, but it is a very valuable place, at least in terms of architecture. Visiting Justizpalast (Prielmayerstraße 7) is free, so it&#39;s worth entering, at least to see the majestic and extremely photogenic hall.</p><h3 class="jFiX9e"> Bahnwärter Thiel</h3><p> Mecca for artists, cultural center, creative space. <strong>Bahnwärter Thiel</strong> (Tumblingerstraße 45) has many names. This is a must-have for every <strong>street art and graffiti</strong> fan. The subway cars are filled with eateries. In winter <strong>, an alternative Christmas market</strong> takes place here, and in summer, it is an ideal place to spend time with friends. The evenings are incomplete without tapping your feet to the rhythm <strong>of electronic music</strong> .</p>

Off the trail

<h3>Steinheil 16</h3><p> A true Bavarian gastronomic gem is hidden in a not very touristy district of Munich. <strong>Steinheil 16</strong> (Steinheilstraße 16) is famous for <strong>its schnitzel</strong> that barely fits on a plate, its traditional <strong>curry-wurst</strong> and its idyllic atmosphere. Reasonable prices attract <strong>crowds of local residents</strong> , so when planning dinner here, it is worth booking a table. In the warmer months, there is the option to eat outside.</p><h3> Fizzy Bubele</h3><p> Are you bored with Bavarian cuisine? Are you craving a quick snack? Do you like Israeli cuisine? If you said yes three times, <strong>Fizzy Bubele</strong> (Am Elisabethmarkt, Stand 3) is the perfect place for you. Here you can eat delicious <strong>halloumi fries</strong> and the best <strong>Sabich</strong> in Munich. It&#39;s a pita with egg and grilled eggplant. The modest appearance of the place discourages most people from trying <strong>Israeli street food</strong> , and unaware tourists do not know that they are rejecting true gastronomic delight.</p><h3> Augustiner Bräustuben</h3><p> Worth including on every bucket list. <strong>Augustiner Bräustuben</strong> (Landsberger Str. 19) is a noisy and homely restaurant where you can eat delicious, traditional pork shank and drink a refreshing beer in a truly Bavarian atmosphere. The place is mostly filled with locals, probably due to the large portions and relatively low prices. The authentic German atmosphere, the ubiquitous noise and hectoliters of golden drink guarantee you delicious experiences. We recommend making a reservation here, especially if it&#39;s the day of a Bayern match. On the roof you will find a terrace that not everyone knows about.</p><h3> Sababa</h3><p> Vegetarians will be happy with this recommendation because it is a place with spectacular falafel. <strong>Sababa</strong> (Westenriederstraße 9), considered by many to be the bar <strong>with the best value for money,</strong> attracts a lot of hungry Munichers, so you may have to wait in line. Nevertheless, it is worth waiting because the ingredients are always fresh, the portions are filling and the prices are very affordable.</p><h3> Alte Utting</h3><p> Would you like to eat pizza in an interesting location? Stop by <strong>Alte Utting</strong> (Lagerhausstraße 15) <strong>, a place in a steamboat</strong> perched on a bridge over the road. This is a unique place, perfect for meeting friends and watching sunsets. After descending the stairs, you will reach beer gardens, which are an entertainment destination for people looking for original, alternative and colorful places. It is worth remembering that self-service prevails here. If you like <strong>unique, extravagant</strong> places, you will definitely like Alte Utting. </p><h3 class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf q8U8x PPT5v" data-dtype="d3ifr" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwjo5OHR2qb-AhX5hv0HHYYhAkgQ3B0oAHoECAcQAQ"> Giorgia Trattoria</h3><p> This restaurant is a paradise for lovers of maximalism and hell for supporters of minimalism. When you enter, you may experience nystagmus because the entire interior is covered with patterns of colorful flowers. <strong>Giorgia Trattoria</strong> (Weißenburger Str. 2) seduces not only with its fancy decor but also with delicious <strong>Italian cuisine</strong> . Get ready for <strong>a lot of gluten</strong> , it&#39;s Italy after all! The atmosphere of the place is complemented by strange but original tableware, and when you enter the bathroom you may feel like you have entered a disco ball. You can pay your bill by scanning the QR code.</p>

Where to eat in Munich?

<p>Munich is <strong>full of good energy</strong> and great humor, not only around the famous Oktoberfest. It is the second most visited German city after <a href="https://brate.com/europe/germany/berlin/">Berlin</a> . Unlike the country&#39;s cosmopolitan and alternative capital, it is <strong>more homely, coarse and cozy.</strong> </p><div id="attachment_81650" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 500px;"><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/niemcy/monachium/monachium-13.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Munich" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Munich, Germany - © Brate</figcaption></figure></div><p> The capital of Bavaria, beer, German football and BMW is a great destination for a leisurely weekend city-break as well as a stop on the way to the Alps. One day is enough to visit the compact old town. The second is worth visiting art galleries and museums.</p><h2> For whom?</h2><p> Munich will appeal to everyone who enjoys <strong>visiting historical monuments, art galleries and museums, and beer.</strong> A lot of beer.</p>

Only young people, great atmosphere, you can always talk to someone. Cool events in the pub downstairs. Very nice staff who will always advise you where something is going on in the city. Two minutes&#39; walk to the train station.

hotel_mio_by_amano-225882271

I highly recommend this hotel. It has a great location - close to everything, and the area is relatively calm and quiet. Great interior design, very comfortable bed. Interesting choice of colors. The hotel will be a good option both for people coming to Munich for business purposes and for tourists.

hotel_blauer_bock-10220084

Hotel Blauer Bock is located in a historic building that is over 400 years old. But inside it is modernly decorated. For me the hotel was a good base for exploring the city. It is located in the very center, so you can reach the most important attractions on foot. The room was tiny, but sufficient for one person.

Hotel Blauer Bock

wombats_hostel_munich-130756621

Wombats Hostel Munich is a great place for backpackers and solo travelers. It&#39;s not the cheapest hostel in Munich, but with a higher price comes better quality. Great, large common space. There is also billiards, a bar, and breakfast is served in the morning. You can store your luggage free of charge.

Wombats Hostel Munich

vi_vadi_hotel_downtown_munich-79827942

Vi Vadi Hotel is located on the outskirts of the center. But close enough that you can walk to it in max. 10-15 min. However, the railway station is right next to it. The conditions are very good. The room with a small balcony met my expectations. Breakfast was good, but I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s worth paying extra for it.
