How Much Does Munich Cost per Day
A full breakdown of Munich prices: daily budgets by tier, every itemised cost from the guide, and where the money actually goes.
The short answer
Budget travellers in Munich spend around 70 a day. Mid-range travel runs closer to 150, and a splurge day lands around 280. Daily costs per person, excluding long-distance transport to Munich. Prices rise sharply during Oktoberfest (September 19-October 4, 2026); book accommodation well ahead of that window if traveling then.

| Tier | Stay | Food | Transport | Activities | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Mid-range | 80 | 40 | 12 | 18 | 150 |
| Splurge | 180 | 70 | 25 | 30 | 305 |
A mid-range day: hostel dorm or budget hotel room, a sit-down lunch and a beer hall dinner, an MVV day ticket, entry to one paid attraction like a palace or museum, comes out around EUR 130-160 depending on season and whether Oktoberfest is running.

- Many museums have a discounted or free evening or Sunday hour, check individual sites
- Walk the old town center rather than transiting short distances
