The Property — Pension Mainburg
Pension Mainburg in München exudes a cozy, family-run charm. The 2-star hotel's unassuming exterior gives way to a warm, rustic lobby adorned with traditional Bavarian decorative touches. Its 20 rooms are simple yet clean and comfortable, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious travellers seeking a genuine, no-frills experience. This pension is particularly suited to solo travellers, couples, and small groups looking for a laid-back, affordable base in the city.

Chronicles of München
München, the capital of Bavaria, was founded by the Duke of Bavaria in the 12th century. Over the centuries, the city's architecture evolved from medieval to Baroque and eventually Art Nouveau, with notable landmarks like the Neues Rathaus and Frauenkirche emerging during this period. Today, München is a vibrant cultural hub, known for its world-class museums, including the Deutsches Museum and Pinakothek der Moderne. Oktoberfest celebrations, which take place every September, draw millions of visitors, while the city's rich history and cultural heritage are proudly showcased at the nearby English Garden. The city's unique blend of tradition and modernity makes München an exciting destination for visitors from around the world.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
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.

Top Attractions in 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.
