Local knowledge
The stuff you only learn after you've walked it.
01
Helles is the Munich standard - pale lager. Weißbier (wheat beer) at breakfast. Maß is a one-litre stein. Always say 'Prost' before you drink, with eye contact.
02
Many beer gardens and traditional restaurants are cash-only. ATMs everywhere. Larger restaurants take cards but ask first.
03
It always starts the last weekend of September - usually in mid-September. Hotel prices triple. Book a year ahead or visit in October when prices drop.
04
Local surfers ride a standing wave at the south end of the Englischer Garten, year-round. Watch them - it's a Munich thing. Don't try it without training.
05
Spring blooms in the parks. June for the longest days. Oktoberfest in September. December for Christkindlmarkt. February is cold and grey - skip unless skiing nearby.
06
5-10% is fine. Hand it to the waiter as you pay - don't leave it on the table. Say the total you want to pay, including tip, before they take the card.
