Best Hostels in Munich for Solo Travellers, Female Travellers, & Couples
Munich is the capital city of Bavaria. It's also the third most populated city in Germany and is a popular place to visit for its architecture, culture, and the famous Oktoberfest beer celebration. The city is at the cultural heart of the country and it has many great museums and festivals.

As a major tourist and business destination, there is no shortage of accommodation in Munich. Many of the city's youth hostels are found around the Munich Central Station. If you want to stay in another neighborhood, there are also plenty of options spread throughout the city as well.

Accommodation prices in Munich can vary dramatically by season. The summer months between June and August are a peak time when prices can be high. If there's an event in town, it can also be quite difficult to find an affordable place to stay. Around the time of Oktoberfest, between mid September and mid October, prices can also climb incredibly high. You can expect to pay three or four times as much as you would during a low season. Many places also impose minimum stay lengths, sometimes as long as a week, during this time.
