How to meet creatives in Munich: communities, hubs and events

Munich has a creative scene that often surprises people who come expecting only lederhosen and luxury cars. Alongside the city's well-known corporate backbone, there's a genuinely thriving community of designers, photographers, illustrators and makers who have built something real here over the years.

The scene is polished but not precious, and with the right entry points, you'll find it's a lot more accessible than the city's reputation might suggest.

I love Creative Lunch Club because it harnesses the most human way of connecting, sharing a meal. It's an effortless way for creatives to build diverse connections and friendships across various fields and meet people they wouldn't otherwise.

When I joined Creative Lunch Club, I didn’t expect to connect with people who live in the same neighbourhood as me. It’s pretty cool to build a community of creatives in your vicinity, especially because it’s easier to nurture those connections when you live in a big city. I love it.

The initiative by the Creative Lunch Club has allowed me to meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise. I now have a bigger network and new friends.
