Best time to visit Munich

Spring in Munich (March to May, average 5–15°C / 41–59°F, shoulder season) brings milder days, blossoming parks, and fewer crowds. It is a pleasant time for walking tours and outdoor cafés, with light layers recommended as temperatures can still change quickly.

Summer (June to August, average 15–25°C / 59–77°F, peak season) is warm and lively, with long evenings and many outdoor events. Locals gather in beer gardens, parks feel vibrant, and nearby lakes become popular for day trips and swimming.

Autumn and winter (September to February, average 0–10°C / 32–50°F, low season) offer crisp air, colourful foliage in early months, and a cosy atmosphere later in the year. Cooler temperatures make museums, cafés, and indoor attractions especially inviting, and festive markets add extra charm in late November and December.
