Germans value punctuality — be on time for tours, dinner reservations and appointments.

Respect local quiet times (typically at night and on Sundays) — avoid loud noise, mowing lawns or noisy renovations during these periods.

A simple “Guten Tag” or “Grüß Gott” (in Bavaria) is appreciated; use polite forms with older people and business contexts.

Germany has strict recycling rules — follow local bins (paper, plastic, glass, bio) and deposit schemes for bottles (Pfand).

In Bavaria it’s customary to round up the bill or leave 5–10% in restaurants if service is good; you usually hand the tip directly to the server when paying. For taxis and hairdressers, small rounding up is common; it’s not required at self-service counters.

Cards (EC/Maestro and increasingly debit/credit) are widely accepted, but smaller cafés, markets and traditional inns may prefer cash. Contactless payments and mobile wallets are common in larger outlets — keep some euros for small purchases.

Gardens bloom and temperatures climb; ideal for palace gardens, cycling and outdoor cafés. Expect occasional rain—bring a light waterproof jacket.

Warm days and long evenings, great for picnics, festivals and open-air events at the palace; beer gardens are lively. Pack sun protection and expect crowds on weekends.

Crisp weather and colorful foliage along the Amper and canal make for pleasant walks and photography; harvest festivals and quieter tourist numbers are common.

Cold with possible snow; palace grounds are atmospheric and quieter but some outdoor attractions may have reduced hours. Dress warmly and check museum opening times.

Riverside paths through the Amper floodplain with birdwatching, wetland scenery and gentle walking routes suitable for all levels.

Lush riverside trails along the Isar with varied scenery — a short ride away and popular with hikers and cyclists.

Vegetarian choices are widely available: many restaurants list meat-free Bavarian dishes, salads and sides; bakeries and cafés also offer sandwiches and soups. Larger nearby Munich restaurants provide broader vegetarian menus.

Vegan options are increasing but may be limited in small traditional inns — look for dedicated cafés in Munich or ask restaurants ahead of time. Supermarkets carry vegan products for self-catering.

Gluten-free options exist at bakeries and supermarkets; inform restaurant staff about celiac concerns and they will usually help with alternatives, but always double-check ingredients for traditional dishes like dumplings or pretzels.
