La proprietà — Hotel Wallis
Hotel Wallis is a workaday three-star in Munich's central station district, with a lobby that smells of floor polish and coffee from the breakfast machine. The rooms are compact and dated in a clean, functional way — think beige carpets and solid wooden furniture that's seen decades of business travellers. Its USP is location: you're two minutes from the Hauptbahnhof, which means easy train access but also a neighbourhood of strip clubs and kebab shops. It suits tourists who just need a clean bed and a cheap base for exploring the city, not a romantic getaway.
Cronache di München
Munich was founded in 1158 by Duke Henry the Lion, who destroyed the bridge at Oberföhring to force salt traders through his new settlement. The city grew rich on the salt trade, then expanded under the Wittelsbach dynasty into a capital of baroque and rococo architecture. Nazi rule began here in 1923 with the Beer Hall Putsch; the city was heavily bombed in WWII and rebuilt with a mix of restored historic facades and pragmatic modern blocks. Today it's a prosperous, conservative city that pairs tech-industry growth (BMW, Siemens) with a festival mentality (Oktoberfest, beer gardens) and a deeply rooted local culture of 'Mia san mia'—a proud, defiant Bavarian identity.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di München →I migliori mesi
May, June and September are ideal: May brings warm days and spring blooms, June has long evenings with the Tollwood summer festival, and September offers blue skies before Oktoberfest crowds arrive. All three have mild weather (20-25°C) and reasonable hotel rates if you book ahead.
Peak / Festival Surge
September/October is the absolute peak due to Oktoberfest (mid-Sept to first Sunday in Oct). Hotel prices triple or quadruple — a 3-star like Wallis can cost €250-400 per night. The city heaves with dirndl-clad tourists, beer tents and traffic chaos; book 6+ months ahead or avoid it altogether.
Stagione di spalla
April and November are the best budget windows. April has surly weather (8-15°C, rain likely) but no crowds and hotel rates often 40% below peak. November is grey and cold but you'll get serious discounts — just pack for drizzle and indoor activities like museums and beer halls.
Meteo e imballaggio
Munich's climate is continental, meaning sudden afternoon thunderstorms in summer and a polar vortex 'Föhn' wind that can blast warm air from the Alps in winter. Pack a light waterproof jacket in every season — even July — because a cloudburst can appear in 15 minutes.
Briefing della città — München
- Munich S-Bahn: The main trunk line through the city centre (S1-S8 routes) is facing major disruption in summer 2026 due to track renewal at Hauptbahnhof. Check the MVV app for daily closures; it's often faster to take the U-Bahn (U1-U6) for central trips.
- New pedestrian zone: The city council has permanently closed Kaufingerstrasse to cars, creating a car-free shopping strip from Marienplatz to Stachus. This makes walking easier but expect bigger crowds on weekends.
- Beer garden season: All major beer gardens (Chinesischer Turm, Augustiner-Keller, Hirschgarten) are operating full steam from May through September. No reservations allowed at most — just find a free table and brave the cash-only self-service queues.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Wallis, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a rear-facing room on floors 4–6 to avoid street noise from Schwanthalerstraße. Upper floors in that range offer better quiet and some city glimpses over rooftops.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Girare intorno
Find train tickets →Munich Airport (Central Area) → Hauptbahnhof (Arnulfstraße stop)
💡 Luggage space is generous, and it's cheaper than the S-Bahn but slower due to traffic. From the drop-off, walk 5 mins south to Goetheplatz – no tube needed.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Munich Central Station (Nord)
💡 Drop-off is at the north side of the Hauptbahnhof, a 7-minute walk to the hotel. Cash only on board, but contactless works if you buy online in advance.
Munich Airport (MUC) → München Hauptbahnhof (central station)
💡 Use the S8 instead of S1 if possible; the S1 splits at Neufahrn and the wrong half can add 15 minutes
Munich Airport, Terminal 1 → Pasing station (then S-Bahn to Hauptbahnhof)
💡 Only use this if the S-Bahn is disrupted; otherwise slower and more complicated than the direct train
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hotel Verdi (near Hauptbahnhof)
💡 Buy a single-day ticket for the inner zone if you're staying in the city—it covers your return too. The S1 splits at Neufahrn; make sure you get on the branch going through the main station, not the one via the east.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Pension Haus Wendelstein (U-Bahn Münchner Freiheit)
💡 Buy a single-ticket for the airport (Kurzstrecke won't work). The S1 splits at Neufahrn, so ensure you're on the right branch for city centre—S8 is more straightforward.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (Central Station)
💡 Bypass ticket machine queues by buying via MVG app or DB Navigator. Validate ticket at platform stampers before boarding.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (main train station)
💡 From Hauptbahnhof, take the U-Bahn U2 (direction Messestadt Ost) one stop to Goetheplatz, then walk 3 mins to Hotel Goethe. Buy a day ticket for €15.50 if you plan more trips.
Münchner Freiheit → Pension Haus Wendelstein
💡 Honestly, skip the bus—it's a 5-min walk. If you're arriving with heavy luggage, the walk is flat and pavement is good. Bus 142 runs in a loop from the station stop to Dietlindenstraße, one street over.
Hauptbahnhof → Goetheplatz station
💡 This is the quickest hop from the main station to the hotel. Use the exit 'Goethestraße West' – it's a 2-minute walk to the hotel entrance.
Hauptbahnhof → Pension Mayr (stop: Schwanthalerhöhe)
💡 Scenic route if you're not in a rush. Get a day ticket (€8.80) if doing multiple trips — good value. Tram stops are less crowded than U-Bahn.
Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) → Theresienwiese station (5-min walk to Pension Mayr)
💡 From Hauptbahnhof, take U5 direction Neuperlach Süd; avoid U4 during Oktoberfest as it's packed. Exit at Theresienwiese not Hackerbrücke.

Principali attrazioni a München
💡 Walk through the Hofgarten behind it for a quiet spot. The main entrance is free but the treasury costs. Stick to the courtyards.
💡 Don't pay for the tower climb—the free view from the nearby Petersplatz steps gives a nearly equivalent panorama. The crypt is often empty and serene.
💡 Grab a cheese or sausage snack at one of the standing tables – no cover charge. The beer stand near the maypole is run by local breweries and pours cheaper than tourist spots.
💡 Go early on a weekday for fewer crowds. Don't buy bottled water here—it's cheaper at any supermarket nearby. Try the Obatzda cheese spread.
💡 Thursday evening after 5pm often has free entry to the main collection. The film museum downstairs is separate and cheap, not free.
💡 Enter from Odeonsplatz. Bring a picnic and sit by the central fountain — free and rarely crowded.
💡 The free museum shows a 10-minute film about Munich's history in a restored vault. Best part: the courtyard has a free public toilet and a nearby bakery for cheap pastries.
💡 Avoid the upstairs restaurant. Head to the main hall downstairs – it's rowdy, authentic, and you'll share a table with strangers.
