Schwabing-Freimann

Walk through Schwabing-Freimann, Munich's former bohemian quarter in the north. Admire Jugendstil façades along the side streets, then slip into the English Garden or a neighbourhood café.

📖

Full description

Schwabing-Freimann is the large northern borough that includes Schwabing, the former artists' quarter that gave Munich its bohemian reputation. Today the area mixes Jugendstil townhouses, university life around Leopoldstraße, cafés and restaurants, and direct access to the English Garden and the Olympic Park area.

Streets off the main avenue are quieter and lined with tall, ornate façades. The district suits a long walk that combines architecture, green space and a coffee or dinner stop, and it works for families and couples alike thanks to its parks and relaxed pace.
