Overview
Munich combines centuries-old traditions and cutting-edge innovation. The Marienplatz, English Garden, Deutsches Museum, and Nymphenburg Palace offer an embarrassment of cultural riches.
Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, and various transfer partners provide strong redemption options. The city's hotel portfolio is rich with points opportunities.
Day trips to Neuschwanstein Castle, afternoons in the English Garden, and evenings at the Hofbrauhaus make Munich endlessly rewarding. Shoulder season in May-June and September delivers the best combination of weather and availability.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Munich range from $73 to $587 per night. Points redemptions offer 2.3+ cents per point value.
