Munich – know before you go:

Money –
·Germany is located within the Euro Zone, so you’ll need to stuff your wallet with Euro!
·Most major credit cards are widely accepted but always ask beforehand to make sure. And most ATM’s will accept credit cards along with bank pass cards containing the Cirrus logo.
·There's usually a service and food tax included in restaurants but it is also customary to tip by rounding out the bill or giving 10%.

Business hours –
·General shopping hours are from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday. Some smaller stores on the edges of the city may keep shorter hours. Government buildings, banks and post offices usually close at 4pm.

Telephones –
·Munich has a good public telephone system in the streets that operate well and work with coins, phone cards and on occasion credit cards. The coin operated phones are being phased out but phone cards are readily available from post offices, tobacconists and some supermarkets.

Emergencies –
·Emergency, Fire Department and Ambulance - 112
.Police - 110

When’s a good time to go –
·Oktoberfest is the busiest time of year for Munich so if you plan on visiting during this time be sure to book your accommodation early to avoid disappointment. In the depths of winter the temperature can drop to as low as -20° C and in summer it can be a high as 35° C – spring and autumn are really nice in the city though.
