Spring (April-May): Mild temperatures (12-18°C), spring flowers blooming, Easter celebrations, fewer crowds than summer.
Summer (June-August): Warm (20-26°C), perfect outdoor exploration, daily markets vibrant, beer gardens open, occasional rain showers. Peak tourist season with larger crowds and higher prices.
Autumn (September-October): Pleasant (10-18°C), harvest festivals, Oktoberfest celebrations nearby in Munich, leaves changing color, generally excellent weather.
Winter (November-February): Cold (0-5°C), famous Christmas markets transform city into magical holiday destination (November-December), festive atmosphere, smaller crowds between holidays, some outdoor exhibits close.
Recommendation: April-May or September-October offer ideal balance of pleasant weather, manageable crowds, and reasonable prices. December brings unique Christmas market charm but colder temperatures.
