Munich has a heavily continental climate, marked by cold winters and mildly warm summers often interrupted by thunderstorms. Its proximity to the Alps makes it particularly susceptible to cold snaps, earning it a reputation as one of the coldest cities in Germany.
To the south of Munich, the Bavarian Alps bring warm, dry winds known as the Föhn, which can cause sudden temperature spikes, especially during the autumn months.
Travelling to Munich by bus or train from the airport is relatively easy, with direct services running straight through to the city centre. Tickets for these services cost around €10 and journeys last around 45 minutes, during which you can enjoy the free Wi-Fi provided.

Munich is known for its Bavarian cuisine, a style of cooking from Bavaria, and typically includes many meats such as a Weisswurt - a pork sausage served with a pretzel and other delicacies including a chicken or pork schnitzel, fried and served with potatoes and mushrooms.
There are more than 100 embassies in Munich, making the city extremely international, so although the official language is German, a large section of the population speaks English.
