1 The spacious and peaceful northern part of the English Garden is practically on your doorstep: enjoy this park, which is one of the largest in the world. The river Isar, which has regained some of the character of an alpine wild river after its renaturation in 2001, is also just a few minutes’ walk away and invites you to cool off, especially in summer.
2 Our corner shop is, well, also just around the corner. Here you can get everything you need for your daily needs (since 1954).
3 A little further you will find numerous shops (baker, supermarket, pharmacy, bank, hairdresser, cobbler) and a restaurant/bar on Berliner Platz. Every Saturday there is a farmers’ market here: several organic and conventional farmers, three butchers, two cheese dairies, a bakery and a fishmonger offer the very finest goods. Best to come early and have breakfast on the spot!
4 The U6 underground line connects the Garching campus of the Technical University of Munich in the North with the Ludwig Maximilian University in the centre and the University Hospital Großhadern in the South. From the Nordfriedhof stop, it takes about 5 minutes to Münchner Freiheit and 15 minutes to Marienplatz in the city centre. The Lufthansa Airport Bus also stops here and runs to the airport every 20 minutes.
5 Münchner Freiheit – the heart of Old Schwabing! Since the days of the Schwabing Bohème, a handful of cabarets have held their own here and are known far beyond the city and state borders (Lustspielhaus, Lach- und Schießgesellschaft, Vereinsheim). Only two underground stops away or 10 minutes by bike, you can also discover numerous cafés, restaurants and bars here.
Talking about mobility: In addition to the already mentioned underground, there are usually always car-sharing cars from ShareNow in the vicinity of the appartment, as well as scooters and rental bicycles from the Munich public transport company MVG. We can also provide you with your own bicycles if you wish – through the English Garden, along the Isar, you can reach many places in Munich comfortably and relaxed by bike.
