Chronicles of Munich
Munich was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion as a monastic settlement on the Isar. Baroque and Rococo churches rose in the 17th–18th centuries, then Ludwig I rebuilt the city in neoclassical style in the 19th century. Two world wars and heavy bombing in 1944–45 levelled much of it; the post-war reconstruction prioritised historical facades. Today Munich is a wealthy tech, media and beer hub, confident and conservative, with a fierce local pride in its traditions.
Best Time to Visit
Full Munich guide →Best months
May and September – warm but not muggy, sunny days, and the beer gardens are open. June also works if you dodge the school holidays.
Peak / festival surge
September (Wiesn preparations) and October (Oktoberfest). Hotel prices double or triple; book a year ahead. The festival drives everything: crowds, noise, transport rerouting, and a city-wide beer-drinking party vibe.
Budget shoulder season
April and November – lighter crowds, hotel prices drop 30–40%, and weather is cool but still walkable (pack layers). Christmas markets fill December; avoid for discounts.
Weather & packing
Munich's climate is continental – summers can swing from 30°C to a sudden thunderstorm in an hour. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket (not a brolly; the gusts will snap it) and a thin jumper for evening terrace meals.

- Munich’s new ‘Isar-Brücke’ cycle lane reroutes the popular east-bank path; check signs near the Reichenbachbrücke.
