Munich by Campervan: Parking, Campsites and City Sights

Quick summary: Munich is best explored on foot and by public transport, so most campervan travelers stay at a campsite on the city’s edge or use Park and Ride stations. The old town around Marienplatz, the beer halls, the English Garden and Nymphenburg Palace are all easy to reach. A green emission sticker is needed in the center, and parking for larger RV rental vehicles is limited, so leave the campervan or motorhome parked and take the U-Bahn or S-Bahn.
