City Overview: Munich, rivalled only by Berlin as Germany's most popular destination, is a sophisticated city that enjoys contradicting itself. Don some ironic Lederhosen and head down to the capital of Bavaria, where cutesy folk traditions ride alongside BMWs and Blackforest cake shares the table with haute cuisine. The city is a haven for all sorts of culture, with a staggering array of museums, a vibrant arts scene and the infamous revels of Oktoberfest. Bavaria is souvenir-icon Germany at its postcard best, and the fairy-tale Gothic, Biergarten-filled city of Munich is no exception. Munich's tourist rush is on for one and all between May and September, when the weather is at its finest. The shoulder seasons - April-May, September-October - are great times to visit, with fewer visitors (with the glaring exception of the Oktoberfest crowd) and plenty of sunshine, although visiting between November and March will pretty much give you the place to yourself, along with the below-freezing temperatures and sunless skies. Still, Munich is chock-full of great events and festivals all year round, so if it's not so much fun outside, there's bound to be some visit-worthy event happening inside. Hotel Information: 3* BB From "Hotel Ludwig" you can easily reach the pedestrian precinct with Munich's biggest and old established department stores in merely 3 minutes walking distance.
Main station is right across the street and "Oktoberfest" can be reached by foot in only 10 minutes. Each room and suite is comfortably furnished and has either bath or shower, toilet, satellite and pay TV as well as IDD telephones. A Custumer's Review: this is a well placed hotel for everything you need when staying in Munich. The rooms are very clean and tidy, with good maid service.
The breakfast was above average you could not ask for more choice.
The reception staff were well above average and so very helpfull
