Munich TRAVEL GUIDE AND DEALS

As Germany’s third largest city, Munich is a cultural hothouse that lures Germans and travelers alike for its booming economy, world-class museums, Bavarian architecture, proximity to the Alps, and surrounding, lake-filled countryside.

Why Go

 Bavarian cuisine and German beer (obviously), plus activities to keep both athletes and culture buffs busy.

Munich Travel Deals

Munich Hotels

Guests willing to spend over $350 per night on accommodations will enjoy Munich’s best properties, which fall into two distinct camps, one capitalizing on the glamour and opulence of a bygone era; the other showcasing the city’s artsy underpinnings in the form of trendy design hotels. Moderate hotels, while lacking in showy flourishes or designer touches, tend to be well equipped with modern amenities like fitness rooms and pools. Accommodations under $150 per night fall into the budget category – for this price you won’t get much more than a place to lay your head, but even the most Spartan quarters in Munich tend to be clean and well-maintained. Across the price spectrum, hospitality reigns in Munich.
