Tips for accommodation in Munich. How to choose the location of the hotel?
The choice of accommodation in the Bavarian city is vast. Here you can find both budget guesthouses and five-star hotels. Depending on whether you plan to visit historic places or attend festival events, you need to book a suitable place to stay.
Start your search in the heart of Munich’s historic area — the Old Town. This route is recommended for those who want to explore the endless beauty of royal residences, museums, and other historic buildings. You’ll also find many pedestrian streets with plenty of cafés, pubs, and restaurants.
Near the Old Town is Munich’s central station, Hauptbahnhof, the largest railway hub in Bavaria. It is located west of the city center, in the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district. Within a kilometer of the station there are many hotels at different price points. It’s a convenient place to stay because it’s close to local attractions, and it’s also ideal for traveling anywhere in the country or Europe, depending on your route.
For lovers of cultural leisure, accommodation is available in Munich’s “Museum Quarter” — an arts area famous for its many art galleries and museums. By booking a room in this region, you can admire unique masterpieces presented in eleven museums and exhibition halls. For example, at the Alte Pinakothek tourists can explore a collection of painters from the 13th–18th centuries, while the Neue Pinakothek features masterpieces from the 18th–19th centuries. Finally, the Pinakothek der Moderne offers an art collection from the 20th century to the present.
Those who enjoy walking are advised to look at hotels located along the Isar River, which runs through the city of Munich. There are plenty of running paths and lanes for cycling. In the warm season, the riverbanks are full of tourists having picnics, B-B-Q under the open sky, and sunbathing. You can swim in the Isar. There are also designated spots for surfing.

Start your excursion through Munich with the well-known Neuschwanstein Castle, built near the town of Füssen by order of Ludwig II. After the construction was finished, the walls of this magnificent building were opened to all visitors. Neuschwanstein’s history spans more than 140 years, and throughout this period it did not go through battles. The grace of the castle’s interior belongs to imagery for Wagner’s famous operas, German legends, and the Saga of Lohengrin. All halls are adorned with colorful mosaics, and the royal bedroom is in Gothic style. It is remarkable that during World War II an American corps was stationed near the castle, where Walt Disney served. Impressed by the unique architecture of the magnificent building, the Master embodied its prototype in the design of Snow White’s castle, built on the territory of Disneyland.
The Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located at Frauenkirche. The construction is in late Gothic style, erected in the 15th century. Here you can find world masterpieces collected over five hundred years.
The New Town Hall is one of the most memorable architectural constructions, located on Marienplatz square. This place is always crowded due to the endless flow of tourists. By elevator you can go up to the observation deck, the height of which is 85 meters.
Ballet lovers are welcomed by the National Theatre, built in the style of a classical Greek temple.
Visiting the world’s largest German Museum of Natural Sciences, guests will enthusiastically watch the power of artificial lightning discharges, get acquainted with an aircraft exhibition, visit galleries, and much more.
The observation deck of the Olympic TV Tower is located at a height of 291 meters. While going up, you can study the beauty of Munich from a bird’s-eye view. Near the building is the Olympic Park — an area built especially for the 1972 Summer Olympic Games. This enclosed-type construction together with the tower’s grandeur has become one of the main symbols of the city.
Endless views are drawn to the 38-meter column topped with a “golden angel”, located on Prinzregentenstraße. It was built in 1899, on the day of celebrating peace in Versailles.
Of course, one of the main attractions in Munich is the BMW Museum. Here you can see the history of one of the world’s most popular automobile companies, as well as interesting production samples from different periods. The museum building looks like a bowl, inside which a spiral ascent is installed. The exhibits begin in the basement and then go up. In the museum halls you will see rare automobiles, motorcycles, sports cars, and even engines.
Active things to do
- Cycling — excellent routes through Englischer Garten and along the Isar, with stops at scenic points.
- Alpine hiking — easy day trips by train to accessible trails and stunning viewpoints.
- Lake swimming & nature time — in season, nearby lakes are perfect for an active day outdoors.
- Urban surfing at Eisbach — watch surfers on the famous wave and soak up the atmosphere.
