Keyfacts

about Munich

When to visit Munich

The entire territory of Germanys south is characterized by a warm temperate humid mid-latitude climate.

The oceanic influence, which weakens from the northwest to the southeast, is responsible for relatively mild winters, which still promise snow in the city and the mountains in its surroundings. The summers in Munich are friendly but not too hot, what makes them the perfect time for outdoor activities. Munich is one of the greenest cities in Germany and features a lot of parks. Regular rain keeps the nature in good condition and the air is really clean, even in the city center, not to mention the rural areas.

All together Munich is worth a visit throughout the whole year.


 

Culture
