Munich packing essentials

Munich has a continental climate with Alpine influence — cold winters (often below 0 °C), mild pleasant springs, warm but occasionally stormy summers (20–26 °C), and crisp golden autumns. At 520m altitude with the Alps visible on clear days, the weather can shift quickly: pack layers regardless of season. The city centre is walkable on flat streets with some cobbles around Marienplatz.

Beer halls have no strict dress code, but Germans do appreciate smart-casual for evening dining. If visiting during Oktoberfest (late September–early October), traditional Bavarian dress (Dirndl for women, Lederhosen for men) is widely worn — you can rent or buy inexpensively at the festival or in the city centre. For church visits, covered shoulders and knees are politely expected.
