Munich is a beautiful city and felt so good and warm (spiritually and physically) I stayed two nights in a hotel very close to the train station which made transportation so much easier from the airport and to other cities. City central is really pretty with parks. I definitely recommend having picnics with coffee and pastries or takeout food in close parks. I went to popular landmarks because it was my first time so there is a lot I had missed out on but I can recommend Allianz Stadium and BMW Museum. Both was amazing if you are into it And if you are not you can go to near mountains or...

That is the first time I was in foreign country alone. My hotel was near by the main train station. When I went out from the hotel. There was someone follow behind me. So be careful and be safe if you are alone.

Solo travel

LOVED IT!!! Highly recommend!!! I went to Munich to visit a friend and it’s still one of my top 10 experiences. The city is pretty safe, I never felt unsafe once even walking at night. 10/10 recommend the eisbach if you get a chance! The museums and buildings were incredible I have so many photos!!! The most expensive thing for me was the plane ticket, I didn’t pay for housing or anything like that bc I stayed with a friend so the trip for me was pretty cheap. Honestly even the museums and all that were reasonably priced!

Munich is fun! The transportation is easy to figure out, and I enjoy going to the grocery stores to get my food. I have limited travel experience, but I felt safe here. You will enjoy it if you like museum hopping, and drinking beer! Lol

I loved my time in Munich! I got to experience many of its wonders - singing along to YMCA and John Denver at Oktoberfest, stumbling upon crazy cool landmarks like a palace and cathedral just by wandering around, and even learning that sea urchins have Zelda-boss-eyes and some fish have arms? My 4 days there were fantastic, filled with fun, new friends, beer, and pretzels (I actually prefer American pretzels). I felt very safe in Munich, even at Oktoberfest when squashed between thousands of people in the beer tents. Only one man tried to hit on me and multiple people stepped in to stop him....

Munich has a low crime rate (most common crimes are vandalism and theft) and is mostly safe during the day. But watch out in the night. There are weird men going around, so I recommend to not go out alone in lonely & dark areas

Super safe, you can walk around the City at night. Of course you should not go to the big Train stations very late but over all I never felt unsafe here. There is Police checking in areas considered as a bit more unsafe.

Munich is a pretty safe city in Germany. Most of the people are really friendly and help you out, if you have any problems. The good thing is that Munich got international and most of the people can speak English.

Munich is in general a very safe city. I only feel not 100% at ease around drunk football fans or around drunk people from Octoberfest (only end of September till beginning of October). Other than that you can move quite freely even at night (especially in the good and lively parts of the city Centre).

About me

Im Noa and im 20 years old, i love to travel any chance i get and love to connect to people and save money(trying to get around as cheap as possible). I would be happy to meet up with people and show them around, maybe even host someone, and im definitely interested in being hosted. Went to Romania to see my girlfriend for the first time (we used to be long distance and now live together) in a 40 hour bus/train ride which was annoying and exciting. I love food and im current doing an Apprenticeship as a Chef (3rd year). I love nature and animals. Im also interesting in homesteading and being self sufficient, and id really love to act out those things when im older and more capable.
