In which quarter house in Munich?

For your stay in Germany, where to put your bags in the Bavarian capital? Here is a presentation of the areas where to sleep in Munich.

With 1,548,319 inhabitants (2017), Munich is the third most populous city in Germany after Berlin and Hamburg. There will be no accommodation given, because thanks to its proximity to the Bavarian Alps, the high season lasts almost all year, especially winter. Moreover, the city of Munich is one of the richest in the European Union and one of the most touristic in Germany: staying in Munich promises to be rather expensive.

Munich is globally known, especially for Oktoberfest , its Christmas markets, its majestic monuments and its strategic position at the foot of the alpine ski resorts. And the city has many neighbourhoods with different atmospheres. Here is also a presentation of the sleeping areas in Munich.

Zentrum, or Altstadt

The downtown area is, as often in Germany, organized in a concentric way, is the most accessible to tourist sites. So he's the most expensive. It is the city’s most lively area: large shopping centres, luxury shops, large businesses and office buildings, as well as most of the city’s tourist monuments – Marienplatz, Feldherrnhalle, Wittelsbacherplatz, the national theatre, etc. – characterize this district. You will also find – of course – many bars and restaurants rather huppés.

Lehel, bourgeois district

If you're looking for a chic, safe and quiet area, no longer looking to sleep in Munich, you've come to "The Place to be" (understand "where to be"). Dedales of alleys leading to 19th century buildings and other prestigious establishments, the area guarantees beautiful urban walks. The hustle fell in the evening, when the crowd deserted shops and gardens. Lehel offers access to the banks of Isar, the tributary of the Danube that flows to Munich: from which to offer a precious moment of tranquillity in a green setting.

Maxvorstadt and Kunstareal

The city’s artistic and cultural lung, where museums and "neo-classical" buildings adjoin students’ habitat. The Bavarian University, which is located in the neighborhood, leads to an influx of students, and allows to find affordable rental housing. It is a good place to sleep in Munich because you will be close to the central station while enjoying large places to stroll, like Königsplatz and Karolinenplatz. It is a neighborhood, however, very quiet at night.

Schwabing, Latin Quarter

An air of Latinity in Germanic country – after all, Munich was once in the borders of the Roman Empire! - where students, artists and bohemian souls are concentrated. You will have understood it, it is a living area, taking its small village airs in the city. It is only 15 minutes away from the city centre and yet a relaxing atmosphere reigns as a mistress. By choosing to stay in this neighborhood, you can do everything there: drink a drink, eat in the restaurant, watch all night in discotheque, see concerts... If you like lively, young, dynamic and arty areas, choose it to stay in Munich. A good place to live when you're young.

Au-Haidhausen, the French Quarter

Nicknamed so to commemorate the victory of 1870, we will find that few Frenchmen... Located on the eastern shores of Isar, this area with small slopes is less touristic: ideal to get away from the incessant tourist stream, while enjoying a stroll along Isar, small cafés and chic restaurants. Good news, so finding accommodation should be less expensive in this neighborhood.
