"Nagelneues Hotel nahe an der Autobahn, aber perfekt isolierte Türen und Fenster. Türöffner per Smartphone... funktioniert. Wir sind zu Fuß zum Chiemsee gelaufen, toll. Sonnenuntergang im Exter am See. Tolles Frühstück im nahe gelegenen Gasthof. War etwas warm im Zimmer, aber an dem Abend war es kühler und wir konnten die Terrassentür zum abkühlen öffnen. Das Bad könnte ein paar mehr Ablageflächen vertragen. Aber das ist alles Jammern auf hohem Niveau."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Chiemsee?
The best area to stay in Chiemsee is Prien am Chiemsee, offering excellent access to the lake and its main attractions.

Prien is the largest town on the Chiemsee and acts as a central hub. It's well-connected by public transport, including a railway station, and has a lovely lakeside promenade. The town centre, just a short walk from the lake, has a good selection of shops, restaurants, and cafes. From Prien, you can easily catch the ferry to Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee islands.

Couples looking for a relaxing and scenic break will find Prien particularly appealing. You can enjoy strolls along the lakeside, dine at restaurants with lake views, and easily visit the romantic Herrenchiemsee Palace. The town offers a good balance of activity and tranquillity.

Families will also appreciate Prien am Chiemsee due to its convenient amenities and activities. The local swimming baths, "Prienavera," offer indoor and outdoor pools, providing entertainment for children. The steam train, "Chiemseebahn," runs from the station to the ferry pier, which is a fun experience for all ages.
When is the best time to go to Chiemsee?
The best time to go to Chiemsee depends on your preferences for activities and weather, but generally, late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant experiences.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and watersports, the summer months from July to August are ideal. The weather is warm, superb for swimming in the lake, and boat trips are plentiful. This is also when all attractions, like Herrenchiemsee Palace and Fraueninsel, have extended opening hours. However, it's also the busiest time, so expect more people and higher prices for accommodation.

If you prefer fewer crowds and comfortable temperatures for exploring, May, June, September, and early October are excellent. The landscape is beautiful, either with spring blossoms or autumn colours, and the weather is typically mild enough for outdoor pursuits without being too hot. You'll still find most attractions open, and it's a good time for a more relaxed trip.

Winter, from November to April, can be beautiful with snow-covered landscapes, and it's a peaceful time to visit if you enjoy quiet walks and cosy evenings.
