Munich experiences a temperate continental climate, with temperatures ranging from -2 degrees Celsius in winter to 35 degrees Celsius in summer. Spring (March to May) is considered the best time to visit Munich. Balmy temperatures coax animals and locals from their burrows, flowers burst open, and the city bustles with cheerful activity. These months give you a chance to experience the city in all its glory before the summer crowds arrive. If you can brave the piercing winter temperatures, the city will reward you with breath-taking snow covered landscapes, phenomenal winter activities and unforgettable Christmas markets. Glühwein, a traditional hot wine mulled with spices, will keep you warm and titillate your taste buds. Warm weather and a number of fantastic festivals take over Munich in autumn (September to November). If you plan to attend Oktoberfest, accommodation should be booked a year in advance, as they fill up quickly and rates increase dramatically.
