Arrival
The Airport of Munich is the second largest in Germany. The cheapest way to get to the city centre is by train (S-Bahn). The journey takes about 40 minutes. A taxi ride is usually too expensive – even if you travel in a group of four.
The main railway station of Munich can be reached in four hours from Vienna, Berlin and Cologne.
Hotel
Munich is an expensive city with many expensive accommodation facilities. We were in Hampton by Hilton * in the west of the city. From here you can walk to Theresienwiese, where the Oktoberfest takes place. From the S-Bahn stop "Donnersbergerbrücke" it is only five minutes to the city centre.
Places of interest
Munich is a very popular city. The Hofbräuhaus is probably one of the most famous locations in Munich. You await here traditional music and typical German beer.
Around the Marienplatz and the town hall there are always great events in summer and winter. The Christmas market is very nice and when the soccer club Bayern Munich is leading once again, there is a big party.
Another highlight in Munich is the Eisbach wave at the entrance of the English Garden. Surfers have been coming here for 40 years - in all weather conditions and at all times of the year! Many tourists admire the surfing every day.
