Munich's Best Midway Spots

Skip the U-Bahn travel time debates. We found the zones that are actually in the middle.

The eternal Munich question...

"My place is too far north."

"But yours is all the way in the south!"

The solution? A truly fair midway point.

We used midway@ to analyze U-Bahn and S-Bahn travel times from all over Munich.

The results might surprise you.

1. The Sendlinger Tor Zone: The Unbeatable Champ

It's not just a busy station. It's a strategic masterpiece.

  • Why it works: Access to U1, U2, U3, U6, U7, U8. It's the city's transport heart.
  • Travel time fairness: The most balanced travel times from nearly every corner of the city.
  • The vibe: Bustling, historic, and packed with options from quick coffee to fancy cocktails.
  • Try this spot: Glockenbachviertel is a short walk away for trendier, less touristy spots.

2. The Münchner Freiheit Zone: North-South Peace Treaty

The perfect compromise for friends split between north and south Munich.

  • Why it works: Major hub for U3 and U6, connecting student areas with the city center.
  • Travel time fairness: Excellent for anyone living along the U6 line (Garching, Freimann) meeting someone from the south (Harras, Westpark).
  • The vibe: Chic, bohemian, with a touch of sophistication. Think artsy cafes and leafy streets.
  • Don't miss: The weekly market for a casual, open-air meetup.

3. The Ostbahnhof Zone: The Cool Underdog

Forget the tourist crowds. This is where real Münchners meet.

  • Why it works: All S-Bahn lines + U5. Connects the east of Munich seamlessly with the rest of the city.
  • Travel time fairness: A game-changer if one person lives in the east (e.g., Trudering, Berg am Laim).
  • The vibe: Gritty, cool, and rapidly changing. Home to the Werksviertel-Mitte's unique container bars and concert venues.
  • Pro-tip: Explore Werksviertel for a truly unique, industrial-chic hangout.
