Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Sleeping
Munich's excellent public transport system puts you within easy reach of everything. If you
prefer being steps from the trophy sights, find a place in the Altstadt, although you'll pay a
premium for the priviledge. Choices are greater and rates more reasonable in Ludwigsvor-
stadt near the Hauptbahnhof and the Oktoberfest grounds. Party people will enjoy
Schwabing, Maxvorstadt and the Gärtnerplatzviertel-Glockenbachviertel area. Lodging op-
tions are thinner on the ground in slower-paced residential neighbourhoods such as Haid-
hausen and Lehel, but are often the most charming and authentic.
Room rates skyrocket during Oktoberfest and other major events and trade shows. Book
well ahead to avoid disappointment.
Long-Term Rentals
If you're staying in Munich for a week or longer, it usually works out cheaper to rent a
room, flat or apartment.
