Munich Hotels

Located to the north of the Bavarian Alps, on the River Isar, Munich (München) is a city that combines proud provincialism with international glamour. Founded by Duke Henry the Lion, in 1158, within a century, the city had become the seat of the Wittelsbach Dynasty, who ruled the duchy, electorate and kingdom of Bavaria until the end of World War I. Their influence is evident in the concentration of grand Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and neo-classical architecture adorning Munich’s streets.

Englischer Garten Park
This large urban public park is the perfect place for children to run, jump, play and burn off excess energy. It is also a perfect spot for the parents to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscapes and the picturesque gardens.

Final Days of Carnival Season: January and early February bring the carnival season to an end. Celebrations held throughout the city.

Andechs
This hill-top Benedictine monastery was rebuilt in rococo style in 1675 after being ruined during the Thirty Years' War. The monastery has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries, but these days the pilgrims are beer-lovers rather than religious types, drawn here by the delicious beers the Andechs monks have been brewing for 500 years or so. It's very touristy and the monastery restaurant is akin to a train station's, but the views from the terrace are worth it, and the trek up from the station will make that litre of Weissbier taste all the sweeter.

The airport is connected to the train station (Hauptbahnhof) by S-Bahn #1 or #8. S-Bahn trains run 24 hours a day to the main railroad station. 

The airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 houses most non-Star Alliance airlines while Terminal 2 is the Star Alliance hub and also serves Lufthansa. 

The airport’s terminals have all the amenities a traveller needs, such as ATMs, banks and currency exchange offices. The Central area is loaded with shopping boutiques, a business centre and a recreation area and also contains a hotel.

Munich is a large city and like all large cities, Munich can have some potential hazards for visitors. Petty crime does exist and it is highly recommended that you pay attention to your surroundings and do not take any unnecessary risk. Try not to carry large amounts of cash and avoid wearing expensive jewelry. Just remember to practice common sense and you should do fine.
