Visiting Munich
The city
Munich is the capital city of Bavaria and the third largest city in Germany. The city’s name, also known as Munchen, is derived from the Old German word “Monche”, which means monks. The city lies about 50 km north to the edge of the Alps and has two local rivers, the Isar and the Wurm.
The Climate
Munich is known for rather high precipitation and has a continental climate. The city is also known for its violent and unexpected rain storms. Temperatures can change completely within hours, differing extremely between winter and summer, and even between night and day.
Winters
Munich winters are rather cold, starting in December and lasting until March. Heavy rainfall is rarely seen in winter, but in January the average temperatures fall to around -1°C and snow can be expected. The snow cover lasts for at least a couple of weeks.
Summers
Summers last from May to September and are known to be fairly warm with average temperatures of around 22°C.
Architecture
Munich is an inspiring mix of impressive architecture and historic buildings. The city was chosen as the 30th best destination of historic places around the world, by The National Geographic Traveler. Of all the buildings in the city, the Frauenkirche is the most famous building in the city center and serves as a cathedral. Another amazing building is the large Residenz palace complex, a significant museum of interior decoration that begun in 1385.
Markets
Munich’s most popular market, the Viktualienmarkt, is known for its fresh food and delicatessen. The Auer Dult is held three times a year on the square around Mariahilf church and is one of Munich’s oldest markets, well known for its hardware, tat and antiques. Three weeks before Christmas the Christkindlmarkt opens at Marienplatz and other squares in the city, selling Christmas goods.
Economy
Munich has the strongest economy as well as the lowest unemployment rate of any German city. The city is considered a global city and the economic centre of southern Germany, holding the headquarters of Siemens AG, BMW, MAN AG, Linde (gases), Allianz (insurance) and Rohde & Schwarz (electronics).
Transport Network
Munich has one of the most comprehensive and very punctual transport systems in the world, incorporating the Munich U-Bahn (underground railway), the Munich S-Bahn (suburban trains), trams and buses.

Munich is an integral part of Southern Germany’s motorway network. {Motorways from Stuttgart (W), Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Berlin (N), Deggendorf and Passau (E), Salzburg and Innsbruck (SE), Garmisch Partenkirchen (S) and Lindau (SW) terminate at Munich, allowing direct access to the different parts of Germany, Austria and Italy.} However, traffic in and around Munich is often heavy. Traffic jams are commonplace during rush hour and at the beginning and end of major holidays in Germany.
A good alternative to motorised transport is cycling, with a growing number of bicycle lanes being used throughout the year. The central area of Munich is surrounded by the beltway and has a modern bike hire system available.
