German beer typically has higher alcohol content than American beers, usually ranging from 4.5-5.5% ABV. Munich's famous Oktoberfest beers can reach 6% ABV. Pace yourself when trying different varieties, and remember that beer is served in large 1-liter steins at festivals and many traditional establishments.
Munich's city center is very walkable with most major attractions within easy walking distance. The historic pedestrian zone makes sightseeing pleasant. However, cobblestone streets in some areas can be challenging for wheelchairs and strollers. The excellent public transportation system provides accessible alternatives for longer distances.
Munich is one of Germany's safest cities with low crime rates. Violent crime against visitors is rare. Exercise normal precautions against pickpockets in crowded areas, train stations, and during Oktoberfest. The city is well-policed and safe to walk around day and night.
Tipping is customary in Munich restaurants and cafes. Round up to the nearest euro or add 5-10% for good service. Give tips directly to servers rather than leaving cash on tables. In beer halls, rounding up by a euro or two is standard. Taxi drivers appreciate rounding up the fare.
Germany uses the euro as its official currency. Credit cards are becoming increasingly accepted, but Germany maintains a strong cash culture, especially at smaller restaurants, cafes, bars, and local shops. Many establishments still prefer cash payments, so it's essential to carry euros for daily expenses and tips.
German is the official language, with a local Bavarian dialect. Most people in tourism, hotels, and restaurants speak English well. Learning basic German phrases like "Bitte" (please/you're welcome) and "Danke" (thank you) is appreciated and helps create positive interactions with locals.
Essential Bavarian dishes include Weisswurst (white sausage) with pretzels and sweet mustard, traditionally eaten before noon. Try Schweinebraten (roast pork), Sauerbraten (marinated roast beef), and hearty dumplings. Don't miss visiting a traditional beer hall for authentic atmosphere and local beer varieties.
The ideal time to visit Munich is late spring through early fall (May to September). Summer offers the warmest weather and beer garden season. Oktoberfest runs from mid-September to early October but brings massive crowds and higher prices. Winter features charming Christmas markets but colder temperatures.
