Lehel
Between the old town and the Isar
Lehel sits on the east edge of the old town, with the Eisbachwelle and a row of museums along Maximilianstraße and Prinzregentenstraße.
The Museum Fünf Kontinente stands on Maximilianstraße, which runs from Max-Joseph-Platz to the Isar. The Bayerisches Nationalmuseum and the Haus der Kunst lie further along, at the edge of the Englischer Garten.
The Eisbachwelle is a standing wave where surfers ride all year.
Getting there
Lehel (U4, U5) is the station for the museums and the river, and tram 16 stops at Lehel and at Nationalmuseum/Haus der Kunst. Isartor (S-Bahn, trams 16 and 17) and Marienplatz are a short walk west.
What to see
The Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, the Museum Fünf Kontinente and the Archäologische Staatssammlung are all within walking distance of each other. The Museum Fünf Kontinente is closed Mondays, and the Sammlung Schack is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Maximilianstraße is the street of luxury fashion houses, running down to the river.
Where to eat and drink
Lehel has few listed places, so combine it with the Altstadt or the Englischer Garten for food.
