Munich offers a high quality of life and is one of the safest and cleanest cities in Germany. The city's architecture is beautiful, and it has many parks and green spaces that make it pleasant to walk around. There are also plenty of great restaurants and cafés. However, living in Munich comes with a hefty price tag—rent is particularly expensive, and finding a place to live can be very difficult unless you have personal connections. The culture leans conservative, and while the city attracts international students due to its top universities (LMU & TUM), the general population tends to be older and wealthier. Compared to cities like Berlin or London, Munich has less nightlife and lacks a strong startup or tech scene. Despite these drawbacks, if you enjoy a safe and aesthetically pleasing city with a good quality of life, Munich can be a great place to live or visit.

We stayed in Munich for 2 weeks, and more specifically, we were in Dachau. Amazing city that is very clean, safe, and full of history. Dachau has a lot to offer as well, so I recommend staying a bit further out and take the train to the city center. The English garden is a fantastic place to surf, swim, layout, walk, bike, or have a picnic. I will definitely come back here!

I stayed for some days in Munich and I really enjoy. The city is beautiful and you can find a lot of stuff to do and a lot of great restaurants. The city is also very safe compared the other german cities.

I was in Munich for 9 months and couldn't get used to the city. It's actually a small town for old and rich people. The flair is not international, but terribly German-conservative. There is neither an interesting start-up nor a tech community. Many people are unfriendly when you speak English. The leisure activities outside Munich (nature) are nice, unfortunately there is not much going on in the city compared to London, Berlin or Barcelona. In Germany, everyone seems to want to go to Berlin, so if you don't, I recommend looking at Hamburg or Cologne - but unfortunately not Munich.

I've lived in Munich for six months during my Erasmus internship.
It is a great place to live generally, offering high quality of life, and it would hands down be the best city to live in Germany if:
-It wasn't expensive af, especially rent prices
-It wasn't almost impossible to find a place to rent (like literally the only way to find is through acquaintances)
-Bavaria was less bureaucratic and more tech-progressive
-It had more... young people; much of the youth there is because of the two of the best unis in Germany (LMU & TUM) that receive
many EU & International students, otherwise it would have been a city of old people.
Everything else is pretty much great in Munich, which is quite liberal in an otherwise conservative state.
