Where to Stay

Altstadt

For

Central and near all the sights and best restaurants. No need to use public transport a great deal.

Against

Always busy with large groups of tourists and can be expensive.

Haidhausen & Lehel

For

Quiet, tranquil neighbourhood vibe and just a short ride into the Altstadt.

Against

Not much choice.

Maxvorstadt

For

Instant access to the Kunstareal and a short ride or walk to the Altstadt.

Against

Virtually no places to stay.

Nymphenburg, Neuhausen & Olympiapark

For

Near some of the city's biggest draws and tend to be cheaper.

Against

You will need to use public transport quite heavily.

Schwabing & the Englischer Garten

For

Elegant but buzzing location and just a hop from the tranquillity of Munich's biggest park.

Against

Some areas in the studenty south of the neighbourhood can be noisy night and day.
