Before you go

Munich at a glance

Munich is the capital of Bavaria, on the Isar river north of the Alps. People come for its old town squares, beer gardens, palaces and museums, and for Oktoberfest each autumn.

Known for

  • Marienplatz

    The central square of the old town. The New Town Hall with its Glockenspiel stands on the north side, the Old Town Hall on the east.

  • English Garden Englischer Garten

    Large city park with the Chinese Tower, the Monopteros temple and a standing wave on the Eisbach where skilled surfers take turns.

  • Nymphenburg Palace Schloss Nymphenburg

    Baroque palace and park in western Munich, long the main summer residence of Bavaria's Wittelsbach rulers and birthplace of Ludwig II.

  • Viktualienmarkt

    Food market and square near Marienplatz with about 140 stalls and shops, held daily except Sundays and holidays since 1807.

  • Weißwurst

    White veal and pork sausage eaten as a late-morning snack; tradition says it should not hear the noon church bells.

Getting there

From Munich Airport (MUC), S-Bahn lines S1 (via Moosach) and S8 (via Ostbahnhof) alternate into the city. Either takes about 40 minutes to Hauptbahnhof, so a train leaves about every 10 minutes. The S8 runs around the clock, less often between about 1 and 4 a.m. The Lufthansa Express Bus runs every 20 minutes to Hauptbahnhof via München Nord (Schwabing), about 45 minutes.

Getting around

U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams and buses run under one tariff association, the MVV. The pedestrian zone between Karlsplatz and Marienplatz links most old town sights on foot.

When to go

May to September is warmest; July is the warmest month and also the wettest, with showers and thunderstorms. Winters are cold and often overcast, and January is the coldest month. Oktoberfest runs from mid-September to the first Sunday in October, when the city is busiest.

Local tip

At the airport, take whichever S-Bahn leaves first: S1 and S8 both reach Hauptbahnhof in about 40 minutes. Late on weekday nights, only the S8 runs.
