Munich

Munich is the capital city of the free state of Bavaria and the third largest city in the country of Germany. The Munich Metropolitan Area has a population of over 5 million people. Munich’s city motto is "München mag Dich," translating as “Munich Loves You.” The language spoken most often in Munich is Austro-Bavarian. Staying in a Munich hotel is most favorable in the summer.

Located on the Isar River at the edge of the Bavarian Alps, Munich summers last from May until September with an average temperature of 22 °C (70 °F). Winter temperatures average at −1 °C (30 °F). Summertime in Munich brings extreme rainstorms whereas wintertime provides snow for a few weeks each year. Munich hosts the world famous Oktoberfest each year throughout September and into October. In existence since 1158, Munich derived its native name from the monks of Benedictine that founded the city. Munich’s first name, München, comes from the German word, Mönche, which translates to “Monks” in English. Before departing on your trip be sure to find an official Munich travel guide.


Munich has presented the world with many Nobel Prize Award winners throughout the years. It is home to an array of historical attractions, arts, culture and activities.
