Campervan Rental Munich
After Berlin, Munich is the biggest hotspot for tourists in Germany. When you hear the local Middle Bavarian dialect, there’s no escaping the fact you are in Munich! Not to be missed are the English Garden, Nymphenburg Palace, and the Munich Residence. If you venture up the 306 steps to the top of St. Peter's Church, you’ll gain a splendid view of the city. For soccer fans, time should definitely be set aside to visit the Allianz Arena on your road trip to Munich. BMW-Welt, is not just the place where new vehicles are delivered, but you can also immerse yourself in the history of the Munich automotive brand. This great day out is definitely not just for car enthusiasts! After a busy day exploring Munich’s charms, the coziness of a campervan rental in Munich and a Mass of beer await you in a traditional brewery.
Getting to Munich
It seems like all roads, or should we say motorways, lead to Munich: You can drive to Munich on the A8, A995, A92, A94, A95, A96, and A99. You can also easily travel to Munich Central Station by train, almost every hour, from most major German cities. Alternatively, you can also take to the skies. At Franz-Josef-Strauss Airport, airlines such as Condor, EasyJet, Lufthansa, and Austrian Airlines connect the city with a number of domestic German and European destinations as well as Asia, Africa, and America, offering several daily flights.
Parking in Munich
The coach car park north of the Allianz Arena offers parking. It costs €15 per night, with the car park only being closed to mobile homes on match days. You can also park on the exhibition grounds in Munich-Riem that are opened during the Oktoberfest. There is space for 1,500 motorhomes, and a motorhome pitch for two people costs €35 per night. In addition, there is plenty of free on-street parking in Munich - but it’s tricky to get your hands on a space that’s long enough and available. A little further away from the city center, you can even park your motorhome hire in Munich with a breathtaking view of the Alps at the Dulipphof in the Munich district, and each night costs €11. From €11 a day, you can also park at the Munich-Obermenzing campgrounds, regardless of the season.
Annual Events in Munich
- Oktoberfest (September/October): The world's largest folk festival is certainly what many people think of when they hear the word Munich. It’s free to wander through the event and take in the atmosphere, and the beer tents can also be entered without having to buy a ticket. It costs just €3 to enter the “Oide Wiesn” before 21:00. For the adrenaline junkies among you, rides start at €1, while a traditional mass (liter) of beer will set you back around €11.
- Munich Film Festival (end of June): A total of around 180 films from the widest range of genres are shown on 18 screens. Tickets for regular performances €10.90 (concessions €7.90).
- Saint Patrick's Day (Sunday preceding 17th March): a vibrant parade followed by a party. It’s free to join in, and no tickets are needed.
- Munich Spring Festival (two weeks in April): also known as the "Little Oktoberfest". Again, you don't pay admission, but just for the rides, food, and drinks. A liter of beer costs for example from €10.50.
Camping in Munich
- Utting campgrounds: Located on the popular Lake Ammer, motorhome pitches up to 60 m² are available from €7 per day.
- Munich Thalkirchen campgrounds: One of the closest campgrounds to Munich, but still immersed in nature. Prices range between €15 and €17 (low or high season).
- Wolfratshausen campgrounds: A different kind of camping with an outdoor living room, campfire, and workshop for minor bike repairs. Pitch €10 per night.
The best time to rent a RV in Munich
Bavaria's state capital is Munich. It is in an area of transition between a dry continental climate and an Atlantic maritime climate. Compared to other cities in Germany, the summers are scorching, while the winters are rather on the chilly side. The warmest months are July and August, with an average temperature of 18°C. During the day, thermometers tend to peak in excess of 30°C. The coldest months are January and February, with average temperatures of -1°C. The overnight lows can drop to -10°C or even lower during this time. When you rent a RV in Munich, head out on the roads around when it is cozier in spring and summer, also more worthwhile, since most events are held between spring and summer. What’s more, nature lures you around Munich. Lake Starnberg in particular is now a popular spot for a dip or going hiking with a panoramic mountain view. Diving (as well as diving courses) are also available here. Other must-see locations include the Ismaninger reservoir, especially for cycling and running, or the Climate Forest Adventure Park, Parsdorfer Hart. The latter is a great spot for kids and big kids too.
Tourists flock in droves to Munich mostly in July, September, and October for the Oktoberfest, known among the locals as the "Wiesn". In contrast, the city is less of a tourist magnet in winter. It goes without saying that the Oktoberfest in the autumn is the big exception. Motorhome rental in Munich and pitches are rare during Oktoberfest and often on the pricey side of things too. You will be lucky to get your hands on an early bird deal. However, if you are keen to save your pennies, head to campgrounds on the outskirts of the city, such as at Lake Ammer. Here, the seasonal and tourist prices don’t seem to fluctuate as much as elsewhere for a pitch. Prices for a campervan rental in Munich itself are even cheaper in September/October than in the summer.
