Travel From The Uk To Munich
There are several ways to fly from the UK to Munich
, Germany. Options include both direct and connecting flights from London, Manchester, and Birmingham.Munich is the capital of the region of Bavaria and is near the foothills of the Alps. Munich is a cosmopolitan area known for its beautiful churches, museums and palaces, including the Residenz, home to Bavaria?s rulers for almost 600 years. The city is an inspiring mix of historic buildings and impressive architecture. This is because Munich had to rebuild many of their historic buildings after World War II. However, builders also created new landmarks of architecture. Munich is located on the River Isar and is the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, with about 1.35 million residents.
Munich has a continental climate, strongly modified by the proximity of the Alps, and that also means high levels of precipitation, especially rain. Visitors can also expect snow during some point in the winter, which lasts from December to March. While Munich?s winters are very cold, rain storms are rare in the winter. January is often the coldest month in Munich. The range of temperature between day and night or summer and winter can be extreme. Down winds from the Alps can produce large changes in temperature within a few hours, even in the winter. Summers in Munich city are fairly warm and last from May until September, with July being the hottest month of the year.
The biggest and probably best known draw of Munich to travelers is the Oktoberfest, accurately characterized as the world's biggest beer festival. Oktoberfest takes place, oddly enough in September, beginning 16 days prior to the first Sunday in October. Visitors feast on traditional sausages, spatzle, roast pork, pretzels, and strudels, and wash it all down with a glass of a fine German beer. The lighter color Weissbiers or wheat beers tend to be more popular with both locals and visitors, although the darker beers are also on draft. Beers are paired with cheeses and thinly sliced radishes. Fish is also a favorite in Munich, especially whitefish or trout speared on a wooden skewer and grilled or smoked.
Munich is famous for its green spaces and large and numerous parks. Visit the Englischer Garten, the Westpark and the Olympiapark, the grounds of the Nymphenburg Palace and the Schleissheim Palace, and the Hofgarten, the oldest park in Munich.
