Q & A
What would you have changed?
I could have probably stayed one less day. There isn't an overwhelming amount of things to see and do in Munich, but I enjoyed everything that we did.
What tips would you give a friend?
Stay close to the center of the city. Almost everything that we did was very centrally located, and we all wished that we had stayed closer to that area.
Transportation Tips?
Use the subway and buses if you need to - they were great the few times that we used them - but Munich is extremely walkable. Bring some good walking shoes and you may not even have to set foot on public transit.
Any surprises?
I was definitely surprised by how much I enjoyed the galleries in Munich, I say that as someone who doesn't consider myself to be an art fanatic. If you're a big art person, you'll love Munich.
Lodging
We stayed in an airbnb on the south side of town in Glochenbachviertel that was very reasonably priced and clean. We didn't need anything fancy, so we were able to find a good deal, but lodging in Munich is generally pricey. Location wise it left a little bit to be desired, as we had to walk a quite a bit to do just about anything. Since we were on a budget, this was fine, but I would recommend staying closer to the city center if you can afford it.
We stayed in the same Airbnb for the whole trip - the same comments apply here. The location was even less convenient for this part of the trip, but again, we were on a budget.
