Schwabing

West of the Englischer Garten is the neighborhood of Schwabing – a mythical, nostalgic place for many Germans, a bit like Paris’s Left Bank. It saw its golden age at the turn of the 19th century and early 20th century when the neighborhood was crowded by artists of all kinds. Although present Schwabing is not even a shadow of its former self, it is still the liveliest neighborhood with the most popular nightspots and small shops – clinging to its Bohemian tradition but very much bourgeois, with the trendiest cafés and “in” places. It is most easily reached by U-Bahn (station: Münchener Freiheit).
