Beautiful bored people of Munich, as we’re sure you’re well aware – our beloved München is one pretty pricey city to live in. Luckily, between the sky high rent and €15 cocktails, there are plenty of wonderful freebies to take advantage of, from kostenlos furniture and fitness classes to free trials of everything you’ll possibly need.
SO, to help you stretch your euros further, we’ve put together a list of wonderful free trials and freebies to take advantage of in Munich. Do you know of any others that we should add to this list? Let us know in the comments!
1. Free Furniture, Household Items, Etc. on eBay Kleinanziegen
If you’re brand new to Munich and need to furnish your apartment (or maybe just needing to refresh the decor of your place), one great place to snap up some freebies is eBay Kleinanziegen, one of the city’s most popular marketplaces for used goods. While you’ll be able to find a lot of cheap furniture/goods for sale here, one great place to lurk is the “Zu Verschenken” section, which of course refers to stuff that is being given away for free!
The catch? You usually need to pick things up yourself (which typically requires a larger vehicle) and you also have to act quickly because the good stuff goes fast. Nonetheless, you should definitely click here to see what’s being given away for free daily.
2. Free Revolut Card
If you travel often, we highly recommend getting a free Revolut card. This special card (which you can get as either a Maestro or Mastercard) allows you to spend your money in 150+ global currencies at the interbank exchange rate, which means a LOT of money saved if you happen to be travelling a lot and using different currencies. You can also use your account to easily transfer money (without fees) to friends/family abroad.
Best of all, everything controlled through an easy to use app and the process of opening an account takes only a few minutes. All you need to pay is a small shipping fee to receive your free card! Click here to learn more.
3. Free Bank Account w/ N26
Dealing with German bureaucracy is never easy, and opening a bank account can be a huge roadblock early on for new expats. WELL, fret not – one great online bank you can use is N26, which allows you to set up a free European bank account in only a few minutes…. all in English if you want! We opened ours up easily in less than an hour, including the awkward Skype call you make to confirm your identity (just a heads up!)
4. Amazon Prime Trial for 30 Days
Especially if you’ve just moved to Munich, Amazon Prime can be a handy tool to quickly order and receive a lot of new home necessities like pots, pans, curtains, bedsheets, etc. Signing up for a free trial membership allows you to shop from the comfort of your own home and have everything delivered straight to your door for FREE, along with a lot of other perks like eBooks, Amazon video films/series, millions of songs with Prime Music, unlimited photo storage, and more.

6. Amazon Fresh Trial
Getting groceries delivered straight to your door is a treat, all the better when it’s free! Using this link, you can access a 30 day free trial of Amazon Fresh, which allows you to shop for groceries via Amazon and have it delivered even in the same day. This would be amazing to stock up on heavy pantry items like canned goods, pasta, and rice. We used ours for this purpose and it was amazing to be stocked up for weeks!

7. €15 Credit for ShareNow ( + Discounted Registration)
Public transportation in Munich may be great, but having access to a car is always an excellent perk. If you don’t have a car of your own, ShareNow (formerly known as DriveNow/car2go) is a great option that allows you to quickly ‘rent’ a car through an app! Signing up usually costs €29, but we have a special deal you can redeem here that gets you registration for only €9.98, PLUS a free €15 credit which effectively makes your registration free.

8. €37 Off Your 1st airbnb Booking
If you’ve never used airbnb in your travels, you can click here for a free 37 euros off your first booking! We love using airbnb when we travel, especially in larger groups or for longer stays. They’re usually leaps and bounds cheaper than hotels and having a kitchen/space to hang out is always a plus.
