Munich's coolest, most creative quarter south of the centre — the nightlife and LGBTQ+ heart, with the best bars, clubs and restaurants, boutiques and a riverside stretch of the Isar. Buzzing and central, a short walk from the old town; the base for eating, drinking and going out.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 9.The Deutsches Museum — One of the world's oldest and largest science-and-technology museums, on an island in the Isar — a vast, hands-on romp through everything from mining tunnels and historic aircraft to space capsules and a lightning show. Brilliant for all ages and endlessly absorbing; give it a good half-day.
- 15.A night out in Glockenbach — Beyond the beer halls, Munich's real nightlife is in the Glockenbachviertel — cocktail bars, cellar clubs, LGBTQ+ haunts and buzzing restaurants in a hip, laid-back quarter by the river. The place to go out like a local rather than a tourist; bar-hop the streets and see where the night takes you.
