    It's raining half the time in summer, freezing the rest of the year, it's very expensive, the S Bahn system is always in construction but they don't care because they love their cars sooo much, the subway is overcrowded all the time even outside of rush hour, the food is terrible unless you like pork, bier and vegan, people are rude, not friendly, most aren't even german, big tips are expected everywhere because they don't pay their workers enough. Basically a good city if you're a car engineer who likes football or a lgbtq vegan student who likes bier. Otherwise don't bother.

    Been in Munich in December for the Christmas fairs. Just beautiful in marienplatz. However it was well below freezing and there was 300mm of snow, and getting there in the car a challenge. Done the Oktoberfest twice now. Brilliant experience.. should be on bucket list. I have been to Munich many times and it is a wonderful vibrant city. One of my favourite European cities along with Barcelona. Copenhagen, Stockholm, Vienna, den Haag,Salzburg, Lisbon

    Das schöne alte München ist komplett zerstört, München jetzt ist nicht mehr schön
    Ich lebte in Regensburg, dann in Fürth, und die beide Städte sind unglaublich schön
    Und ich war im besuch bei meiner Kusine in Aachen , man kann Schauen an die alte Deutschland in Aachen,
    Berlin ist auch schön ich war in Berlin,

    I went in May 2015 and it was incredible, watched Bayern Munch celebrate the title in their final game, visited all the famous landmarks and went to BMW World which was fantastic

    First of all, 80 % of the people who live in Munich are not even Bavarians any more. Secondly, the fact that many of them, having no roots in the area, wear the customary "Tracht" always struck me as odd bordering on the inappropriate. Also, the Oktoberfest has long ceased to be anything authentic or fun for that matter as it is being reduced to a mass tourist attraction like frigging Disney World in the US.
    While I lived in Munich I went to the Oktoberfest once, and in my opinion that is all the experience you need. Unless you prefer a large number of tourists descending on the city during a certain period of time, crowding your space and who you find, quite often, relieving themselves in public, often in entryways of houses.
    Real travelers don't go to Munich for this rather perverted spectacle, but when there are comparitively fewer people in town and you can take your time exploring all the traditions the still exist. Like going to a beergarden bringing your own food or enjoying a traditional Weißwurst breakfast with a Bretzel and a "Halbe" (large beer).
