Lage

SCHWABING - NEAR ENGLISH GARDEN Schwabing is not just a district, but an attitude to life. Those seeking relaxation, dog owners and sportsmen and women find the ideal retreat from stressful everyday life in the English Garden. On hot summer days, Schwabingers prefer to cool off in the Eisbach in the English Garden or in the Ungererbad outdoor pool. For the less warm days, there are several cinemas at Münchner Freiheit with programs ranging from mainstream to arthouse to suit every taste. On the border to Maxvorstadt is probably the most famous sight in Schwabing, the Siegestor. A little north of it, on the lively Leopoldstraße with its countless restaurants, bars and stores, you will find the 17-meter high sculpture "Walking Man". All stores for daily needs, doctors, pharmacies, kindergartens, schools and a hospital are in the immediate vicinity. Apart from Leopoldstraße, Schwabing is rather one of the quieter residential areas of Munich. In winter, many Munich residents appreciate the Christmas market at the "Freiheit" because of its homely atmosphere. Schwabing's cultural program is diverse, and the cabaret scene in Altschwabing, with the Lustspielhaus, the Lach- und Schiessgesellschaft and the Vereinsheim, has been known far beyond the city limits for decades. The excellent subway and streetcar connections to the city center are especially worth mentioning. The airport can be reached after only about 25 minutes by car or comfortably with the Lufthansa Aiport Bus from Schwabing-Nord.
