Living in the Altstadt
The heart of Munich
The heart of Munich is the Altstadt, located between Sendlinger Tor and Isartor, which is characterized by an extensive pedestrian zone. Here you will find the absolute highlights among the city's sights, which are not only famous in Germany but also internationally: Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, City Hall, the Viktualienmarkt and the Feldherrnhalle on Odeonsplatz. It is therefore this part of Munich that attracts by far the most tourists and exudes the most international flair.

Shopping and lifestyle
The thousands of people who pass through the heart of Munich's Altstadt every day are also attracted by the numerous, sometimes very exclusive shopping opportunities. Stachus is home to the largest underground department store in Europe, and Kaufingerstrasse boasts a large number of department stores and stores. Finally, Viktualienmarkt offers a wide selection of local and international specialties. There are also many well-known Bavarian restaurants and pubs here, such as the Hofbräuhaus, which is particularly popular with tourists. The picture of the district is rounded off by the monumental buildings on Max-Josephs-Platz (especially the Bavarian State Opera and Residenz) and the picturesque courtyard garden of the Residenz, which directly connects the Altstadt with the southernmost part of the English Garden.
Exclusive residential area
Due to this prominent location in Munich's city center, the Altstadt does not have much living space to offer; however, the apartments that are available are some of the most sought-after and exclusive in the city. If you haven't found the right offer here, then it's worth taking a look at similarly central districts such as Lehel, Maxvorstadt and Au-Haidhausen.
You can find unfurnished apartments for rent on Immoscout24.
