Munich is famous for its amazing beer, beer halls and beer gardens. So, whether it is the traditional, meaty cuisine or Oktoberfest-like experience that you are looking for, Munich has a lot of places to offer. When the weather is warm and sunny, we highly suggest visiting a beer garden and when it’s cold a beer hall will be warmer and cozier.
While every Munich visitor should enjoy a classic pretzel and beer, Munich food culture goes beyond most expectations. Quaint cafés, hip bars, and delicious international street foods are just some of the delights waiting for you!
