BREAK OUT: Breaking open the doors of a German train and hiking across the lines is illegal! But I and about 700 other sweaty passengers found it necessary on the way to Oktoberfest one day.
The train stopped (electrical failure) and we were stuck inside cooking for over an hour – just 500m away from the Main Train Station.
Fortunately, Munich’s public transport is usually as efficient as you would expect from Germany. Pic:© Stuart Anderson - Destination Munich |
*Alternative lodging
Some timeshare resorts and inns are located in the midst of all the action - be sure to check it out before you come here - especially if you like being only a few steps away from the best of Munich.
Others are located a little farther away but boast features like original stonework and more room. It just depends on what your style is. |
