Nighttime is the right time for running around Munich
Our tip: take public transport. It's great in this lively, lovable city!

Say 'night life in Germany', and most people think of cosmopolitan Berlin. That's quite correct, as far as it goes. Berlin is an exciting city. But so is Munich. Like Berlin, Munich has a world-famous orchestra and renowned theaters. Munich has, in fact, more of them than Berlin does. Munich has 200 theaters. In addition to staging plays, the theaters are also the venues for cabarets, musicals and similar events. Befitting its role of being Europe's center of movie and TV production, Munich also has more than 50 cinemas. Many of these theaters and cinemas have pubs located on their premises. And pubs, as you might expect in a city which has made beer-fueled carousing a prime vocation, are not in short supply in Munich. They are found all throughout this city of 1.3 million. Its size notwithstanding, Munich is very compact. That enables pub and party-goers to leave their cars at home-and to take public transportation. Munich's mass transit system is regularly ranked among the most reliable, attractive and safest in the world. Thanks to it, travel times of thirty minutes or less are the rule in the city.
