About Munich
Known as Germany's lifestyle capital, Munich balances historic architecture with lush green spaces like the Englischer Garten along the Isar River. At the city centre lies Marienplatz with its iconic town hall Glockenspiel, while distinct districts like Glockenbachviertel and Haidhausen offer boutique shopping, club complexes, and relaxed village vibes. The Bavarian capital is world-renowned for its beer gardens, historic Bierkellers, and the annual Oktoberfest festival that runs into early October. Cultural highlights include major art museums such as the Alte Pinakothek and automotive displays at the BMW Museum.
When to go
Munich is at its best for meetings, beer gardens, museums and alpine side trips.
Munich offers distinct seasonal experiences depending on your interest in crowds, weather, and festivals. Spring kicks off beer garden season with events like Starkbierzeit and Frühlingsfest, while July to August brings warm summer weather ideal for swimming in the Isar River and enjoying free outdoor activities. For festival lovers, September and October feature the famous Oktoberfest at Theresienwiese, though this period brings the city's highest accommodation prices and heaviest crowds. Budget travelers can visit during winter from November to February to take advantage of lower hotel rates, local snow sports, and holiday Christmas markets at Marienplatz.
