The bustling quarter around the main station, just west of the old town — the best-value hotels, great transport links, a diverse food scene, and the Oktoberfest meadow on its edge. Less pretty and a bit rough around the station, but handy and central, an easy walk or tram to Marienplatz.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 14.Theresienwiese & the Bavaria statue — The great meadow that hosts Oktoberfest, empty and windswept the rest of the year — presided over by the colossal bronze Bavaria statue, whose head you can climb inside for a view over the fairground. Come to picture the madness of the festival, climb the statue, and see the site behind the world's biggest party.
