Date we visited: July 2009 (3 days).
Where we stayed : Hilton Munich City - Rosenheimer Platz. Our Rating (1-5): 4. A comfortable and stylish hotel two metro stops from the central Marienplatz (walkable in good weather.) Good restaurants and amenities nearby. See Munich for: BEER! Also culture, history, architecture, Marienplatz and the thriving pedestrian mall through the Central zone. Our favorite sites and activities: Marienplatz, The Hofbrauhaus, beer gardens, walking in the Englischer Garten. Best Free Fun: People watching and the animated glockenspiel at Marienplatz. Our Favorite Meal: Most of them. The food goes so well with the beer! Getting around: Excellent public transportation system. Most major tourist attractions are accessible by S-Bahn, U-Bahn or trams and are walkable from Marienplatz in good weather. Tips: The S-Bahn trains between the airport and downtown are comfortable and fast, but it's a long ride. If you are leaving central Munich for the airport, especially in rush hour, make sure you're on the train at least three hours before your flight time. Summarize Munich: A thoroughly contemporary, culturally rich city with an engaging civic life in which beer equals sociability equals good times! Would I return? You bet your beer stein, maybe for Oktoberfest next time! |
