Before you check in to fab Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

😴

Quietest floors

Insider tips

How to request your preferred room:

🏦
Where to exchange

Use ATMs from major German banks (Sparkasse, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank) for fair rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and Hauptbahnhof, which charge high fees and poor rates.

💳
Cards & contactless

Contactless payments with Visa/Mastercard are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and public transport; some smaller bakeries and bars prefer cash, so always carry some small bills.

🪙
Tipping etiquette

Restaurants: round up or tip 5-10% for good service (e.g., pay €22 instead of €20). Taxis: round up to the next euro. Hotel staff: €1-2 per bag for porters, €1-2 per night for housekeeping.

Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget

Cheap car hire →
Cheap coffee

Filter coffee (Kaffee) from a bakery or café takeaway: around €2.50-3.00.

🥪
Best-value lunch

A belegtes Brötchen (filled roll) or a bowl of soup from a bakery: around €4-6.

🍝
Affordable dinner

A main course at a simple Italian or Greek restaurant: around €10-15.

🌮
Street food & cheap eats

Look for Döner kebab stands or Leberkäse semmel at a Metzger (butcher) takeaway; the Viktualienmarkt is a good spot for affordable snacks, but avoid tourist-heavy areas near Marienplatz.

🛒
Budget groceries

Aldi, Lidl, Netto, and Rewe (more expensive but good quality).

👕
Affordable clothes

C&A, H&M, and TK Maxx on or near the pedestrian zone; also check second-hand shops like Humana or PicknWeight.

🎫
Cheapest way around

A single day ticket for the inner city (München M, Zone M): €8.80. For the airport, buy a single ticket (€13.70) or a group day ticket (€27.30 for up to 5 people) – do not buy the expensive Lufthansa shuttle.

💡
Money-saving tips

1) Buy a weekly IsarCard if staying 5+ days – it pays for itself. 2) Visit free museums like the Deutsches Museum on a Sunday (€1 entry) or the Pinakothek der Moderne on any day (€10 regular, but often half price late Thursday). 3) Shop for groceries at Aldi/Lidl instead of eating out; a basic dinner at home costs under €5.

Getting Around

Find train tickets →
🚌
Airport Bus Lufthansa Express €11.00 (one-way)

Munich Airport (Central Area) → Hauptbahnhof (Arnulfstraße stop)

45 min · Every 30 minutes · 05:30–22:00

💡 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.

🚌
Lufthansa Express Bus €11.90

Munich Airport (MUC) → Munich Central Station (Nord)

45 min · Every 20 minutes · 05:45 - 22:30

💡 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.

🚂
S-Bahn S1 and S8 €13.40

Munich Airport (MUC) → München Hauptbahnhof (central station)

40 min · Every 10 minutes during peak times, every 20 minutes off-peak · 04:00 – 01:30

💡 Use the S8 instead of S1 if possible; the S1 splits at Neufahrn and the wrong half can add 15 minutes

🚌
X80 Express Bus (Airport–Pasing) €13.40 (combined ticket)

Munich Airport, Terminal 1 → Pasing station (then S-Bahn to Hauptbahnhof)

50 min · Every 30 minutes · 05:00 – 22:00

💡 Only use this if the S-Bahn is disrupted; otherwise slower and more complicated than the direct train

🚂
S-Bahn Line S8/S1 €13.70

Munich Airport (MUC) → Hotel Verdi (near Hauptbahnhof)

45 min · Every 10-20 minutes · 04:00 - 01:00

💡 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.

🚂
S-Bahn €13.70

Munich Airport (MUC) → Pension Haus Wendelstein (U-Bahn Münchner Freiheit)

45 min · every 10 minutes · 04:00–01:30

💡 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.

🚂
S-Bahn S1/S8 €13.70 (single adult ticket 2025)

Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (Central Station)

40 min · Every 10 minutes during peak, every 20 mins off-peak · 04:30 - 01:30 daily

💡 Bypass ticket machine queues by buying via MVG app or DB Navigator. Validate ticket at platform stampers before boarding.

🚂
S-Bahn S1/S8 €13.70 (single ticket)

Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (main train station)

40 min · Every 10-20 minutes · 04:00–01:00

💡 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.

🚌
Bus 142 / 192 €2.00

Münchner Freiheit → Pension Haus Wendelstein

5 min · every 15–20 minutes · 05:00–23:00 (weekdays); reduced weekends

💡 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.

🚗
U-Bahn U2 €3.70 (single ticket)

Hauptbahnhof → Goetheplatz station

3 min · Every 5-10 minutes · 04:15–01:30

💡 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.

🚊
Tram 18/19 €3.80 (same ticket as metro within city zone)

Hauptbahnhof → Pension Mayr (stop: Schwanthalerhöhe)

12 min · Every 10 minutes · 05:00 - 00:30

💡 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.

🚗
U-Bahn U4/U5 €3.80 (single adult ticket 2025, includes zones M and 1)

Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) → Theresienwiese station (5-min walk to Pension Mayr)

5 min · Every 5-10 minutes · 04:00 - 01:30

💡 From Hauptbahnhof, take U5 direction Neuperlach Süd; avoid U4 during Oktoberfest as it's packed. Exit at Theresienwiese not Hackerbrücke.

Top Attractions in München

Münchner Residenz (Courtyards Only) Free

💡 Walk through the Hofgarten behind it for a quiet spot. The main entrance is free but the treasury costs. Stick to the courtyards.

Alter Peter (View from Base) Free

💡 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.

Viktualienmarkt Free

💡 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.

Viktualienmarkt Free

💡 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.

Münchner Stadtmuseum Free

💡 Thursday evening after 5pm often has free entry to the main collection. The film museum downstairs is separate and cheap, not free.

Munich Residenz Court Garden Free

💡 Enter from Odeonsplatz. Bring a picnic and sit by the central fountain — free and rarely crowded.

Alter Hof Free

💡 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.

Hofbräuhaus Free

💡 Avoid the upstairs restaurant. Head to the main hall downstairs – it's rowdy, authentic, and you'll share a table with strangers.
