Munich - The best and worst times to visit
Insights you need to know

Best times

• May
  Winter's cold temperatures are gone and summer's tourist masses have yet to arrive. As a bonus, daylight sightseeing hours are longer than in September, the second best time to visit Munich.
  
  
• September
  Summer's tourist crowds have thinned and fall's chilly weather has not set in.
  
  The climate benefits of September usually extend into early October. This is good news for those attending the world famous Octoberfest - it runs from the last week of September to the first week of October.

Least desirable times

• November to February
  Temperatures are very cold and - photographers take note - the skies are often cloudy or overcast.
  
  However, the cheerful Christmas holiday period and the partying Fasching fest (in February) make a winter visit special. Book your hotel accommodations early for these popular events.
  
  
• July and August
  Although temperatures are the year's best, it rains a lot and tour-bus hordes can spoil your experience.
