Munich has far more going for it than its famous beer festival. The city I’ve called home for almost a decade is also a top destination for art, museums, urban parks and fantastic regional food. Without a doubt, my favourite thing to do here is head to the river with its buzzing banks, roomy bike lanes and secluded stony beaches a little further out of town. 

What’s the best neighbourhood in Munich?

When it comes to neighbourhoods, the Glockenbach district is where I spend most time, thanks to its vibrant mix of cafes, bars, restaurants and independent shops. However, I also love the Schlachthofviertel with its more alternative vibe and venues such as the Münchner Volkstheater, or Maxvorstadt with its diverse collection of museums and relaxed student hangs. If you’re after an affordable or more spacious place to stay while you’re here, Airbnb has options a-plenty. Check out our suggestions selected from the best Airbnbs Munich has to offer.

Mood? Calm retreat. 
Location perks? A top neighbourhood with several public transport links.

You can find way more than the average hotel on Airbnb, and this apartment in a historic building proves that spectacularly.

What could be better?
