There is nothing like a long family vacation! But travelling with family is a lot more challenging than going on an adventure solo, since you have to consider options that suit each and every family member and their needs.

Whether you are visiting for a big fat family wedding or for a long holiday during your kids’ break from school, there are definitely lots of things to do in Munich! But, there is also the matter of hotel bills adding up to a fortune when one is on a long family trip. Therefore, for large families with kids who need lots of space to move and play around, hotel rooms can feel like confinement and it is more feasible (and economical) to rent a Munich family apartment during your stay in the city.

Although renting an apartment may be economical for a longer period of time, you will still have to give a lump sum to the property owners. Therefore, it is best that you consider a few things before you decide on a place to stay during your vacation in Munich.

Your Budget

It is never a good idea to spend more than you can afford. If you have set a limit on the amount of money you are going to spend travelling, you should try to stay within that limit. Travelling to a new city with family can be expensive, with the shopping, entertainment, and restaurant bills that are likely to add up, it is best to save as much as you can on accommodation.

The Location

The cost of a place often reflects the area it is located in, so it will be helpful to look at different neighborhoods before you start looking at different apartments. If you want to visit popular tourist attractions, you should consider looking at areas that are closer to those places. If you want to get a quiet sleep at night, you should avoid renting an apartment that is close to bars or clubs. One good way to know if you are choosing the right place is by using Google maps and making a list of popular places near the apartment.

The Space

Renting a studio apartment when you have 4-6 people with you is definitely not advisable. When looking at apartments, it is important to know the number and size of the rooms and the number of bathrooms that the apartment has. Consider the needs of your family and the space they require before you make a decision.

Are there any hidden charges?

Sometimes property owners don’t inform tenants about extra charges like parking, electricity, or utility bills etc. that they might demand from tenants later. That is why it is always best to book through a reputable agency. Remember to ask questions from the property owners, especially about who is responsible for maintenance and damage, and read your lease carefully if you are given one so you are aware of exactly what you will have to pay for.

You are always likely to have a great time when you are with people you love, and Munich is one of the best places to visit in the world! With a wonderful city to explore, great company and an ideal family apartment to kick back in , you will definitely cherish the days you spend in Munich!
