Location
Munich is located relatively close to the borders with Austria and Switzerland, making it a convenient base for exploring southern Germany and the Alps.
Currency
Currency: Euro (€)
Tip: Keep some euros in cash for smaller purchases, food stalls and traditional establishments.
Best Time
For a first Munich visit combining walking around the Old Town, photography, beer gardens, historic sites and possibly the Alps, I would look at late May–June or September.
Things to do
Walking the Old Town, Munich Residenz, English Garden, beer gardens, Hofbräuhaus and the Oktoberfest experience because they give you a good mix of architecture, history, local culture and personal experiences rather than just a checklist of attractions.
