The home of Oktoberfest, BMW, and the formidable Bayern Munich soccer club, Munich has inserted its distinctive Bavarian charms into the conversation for top travel destinations in Europe. The beer-drinking and pretzel-devouring reputation in Munich is not unfounded. When exploring Munich, you'll find leafy beer gardens and cavernous beer halls with tables covered in biersteins and plates of hearty German food. There’s plenty of rich history in Munich, and you’ll find princely palaces and state buildings throughout the city center and beyond. 

There’s quite a bit to do, so planning your trip is crucial. If you find yourself needing to book luggage storage in Munich, you don't need to rely on luggage lockers, you need Bounce.

Why choose Bounce to store luggage in Munich?

Bounce partners with {{STORAGE_SPOT_COUNT}} local businesses and shops to provide our customers with convenient locations for luggage storage in Munich. Because of this local connection, you can ask for tips and recommendations for things to do here, and will always have a friendly face waiting for you, unlike a traditional storage locker. 

Storing luggage in Munich only costs {{PRICE}}/day with Bounce 

One flat rate: User experience and customer satisfaction are of the utmost importance to Bounce, which is why the booking process is simplified with flat-rate policies without hidden fees. You can also count on free cancellation before check-in to accommodate your fluid travel plans.

Heightened security: Every single luggage storage location we operate goes through a vetting process to ensure it meets strict security standards. Every item also has a QR code that ensures only you have access to it. For additional peace of mind, we provide {{INSURANCE_AMOUNT}}; we keep belongings safe - always.

Flexible and reliable: Heavy luggage is often a no-go at storage lockers in train stations, which is why our flexible storage capacities are so useful for travelers with larger bags or specialty items like golf clubs, or ski equipment. A shocking number of travelers arrive in Munich with surfboards (explanation forthcoming). And if you have questions, our 24/7 support team can help. 

Our flagship Munich store at {{CITY_MAIN_STORE_LOCATION}} is a great place to start, but we also have {{STORAGE_SPOT_COUNT}} partner storage facilities across the city for additional convenient options.

Munich Central Station (or the Hauptbahnhof) is the largest Munich train station. It’s the most widely used of the major train stations in the city center along with Munich East Station. It's the terminus of dozens of local regional and long-distance trains serving Bavaria, Germany, and other destinations in the EU. 

The large lockers here fill up fast, so leave luggage with us for increased affordability and maximum flexibility, whether for just a few hours or a few days.

One of the largest airports in Germany, Flughafen München is accessible via the suburban railway (S-Bahn) lines S1 and S8. A one-way ride takes about 45 minutes from Marienplatz and 35 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof. There is a left luggage office at the airport. But because of its location well outside the city center, it's as convenient as our luggage storage service. We have locations in many desirable areas. 

One of the largest urban parks in the world, Munich’s Englischer Garten sprawls for acres of prime real estate near the city center. In some of the more heavily wooded areas in the heart of the garden, it seems unfathomable that you’re in downtown Munich. Check out the Japanese garden, the Monopteros Greek Temple, and the Kleinhesseloher See Lake. 

One of the coolest and most surprising aspects of the Englischer Garten is the artificial surfing area of the river that runs through the park. In typical Bavarian fashion, one of the best beer gardens in the world is situated in its lush interior. And if you want to go surfing, you'll need to store luggage first and then find a convenient place for your surfboard after you hit the waves!

Bavaria was its own kingdom for centuries, and there are dozens of monuments and historical landmarks marking the lavish lifestyles of the former royal family. The most opulent building in Munich is the Baroque Palace and estate of Schloss Nymphenburg, just outside Munich’s Altstadt (or Old Town). Because the villa surpasses Versailles in scale, you won't want to carry heavy bags or backpacks around.

The time for fun and good beer begins with the arrival of Oktoberfest! 

A bit of history for those curious: the first Oktoberfest was held way back in 1810! Now known as Oktoberfest, this significant event began as a celebration of the marriage between Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen in October. 

What started as a love story has evolved into the world’s largest beer festival. Today, this beer festival celebrates not just love, but friendship, drinks, food, music, and many other joys.  

Oktoberfest 2024 will take place at its traditional location, Theresienwiese, in the heart of Munich, Germany. The festival runs for sixteen days, from September 21st to October 6th, and gets more popular every year! Last year, as many as 7.2 million people visited Munich Oktoberfest, and this year the same number of visitors are expected from all over the world in celebration of great beer!

Don't miss the opening day ceremony, which begins at noon at the Schottenhamel tent. On this day, you can join the parade of Oktoberfest landlords, who own the large beer tents. As the heads of traditional Bavarian breweries, they play a key role at Oktoberfest. This parade is a great presentation of Bavarian culture with many interesting things to experience, such as music, craftsmanship, and more.

What to Expect When Attending Oktoberfest 2024

It’s important to know what the weather might be like and what to expect at the festival beforehand. 

This year, expect typical autumnal weather during Oktoberfest: cool days with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 19°C and chilly mornings and evenings around 8°C to 10°C. Make sure you bring an umbrella or a raincoat and wear warm clothes. 

If you're thinking that mulled wine would warm you up, you're spot on! Even though beer is the main attraction, there are plenty of other options available, including wine, sparkling wine, lemonade, water, non-alcoholic beer, and much more.

Safety always comes first! Here are a few steps that the festival has taken to make you feel secure:

Certain items like weapons or glass bottles are forbidden

Medical help is readily available if you need it

While you don't need a ticket for this free festival, you should make a reservation for seats in the beer tents to get the full experience. The cost of the beer tent reservations depends on the size of the tent. Be sure to grab your food and drink vouchers ahead of time! 

There are many modes of transportation you can use to make your way to Munich Oktoberfest and back to your home or accommodation. If driving isn't an option, you can use public transport, such as the U-Bahn (subway), trams, buses, or S-Bahn (commuter rail). 

Munich's public transport offers excellent connectivity to and from the festival grounds. Here, you can find more information on how to get to the festival by public transport. 

Remember, bags are checked at the entrance. For easy entrance, keep an eye on the specific bag policy and anything you should avoid when visiting Munich Oktoberfest 2024:

Only 3-liter bags or bags with dimensions equal to or smaller than 20 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm are allowed.

Objects that can be dangerous are strictly forbidden, including sharp items, weapons, glass bottles, and so on.

The event has a dedicated area for storing things (outside the Oktoberfest grounds, near the entrance), but due to the high number of visitors, it is likely it might fill up quickly. Bounce is a great alternative, offering storage solutions for easier traveling and helps manage your time.

Tips to Make the Most Out of Oktoberfest 2024

Make sure to arrive early, it’s guaranteed to be crowded. There are many tents with different atmospheres, from cozy to vibrant and lively, giving you the chance to sample a mix of sounds, sights, and flavors. Arriving on time will give you more opportunities to explore the various foods, drinks, music, and other attractions.

We recommend dressing in traditional Bavarian clothes. such as Dirndl for women and Lederhosen for men. A Dirndl is a charming dress, consisting of a snug bodice, a full skirt, and an apron, while Lederhosen are leather shorts worn with a crisp shirt. By wearing them you are stepping into a centuries-old tradition and celebrating Bavarian culture with style! 

Explore the cuisine, as the festival is as much about food as it is about beer; there are numerous delicious classic Bavarian dishes, such as roast chicken, pretzel, and Weisswurst. Oktoberfest food is a must and pairs wonderfully with beer. 

Check out other attractions that this beer festival offers, especially if you are with your family or friends. You can enjoy carnival rides, such as the Ferris wheel, roller coaster, carousel, plus many others. And if you're up for a thrill, check out the haunted house for some extra fun! 

Experience good music. You can find live bands in various tents and sing along to traditional German and international songs.

Explore its history - if you are a history lover, you can visit the Oktoberfest Museum and see many fascinating old photographs that capture the festival's past and evolution.

Find out more about Bavarian tradition and culture by experiencing the traditional costume parade on the first Sunday in October dressed in your Dirndl or Lederhosen!

If you end up enjoying this year’s beer festival in Munich, plan ahead for your next Oktoberfest in 2025.
