Visitors going out for a picnic or into the city on a perfectly sunny day can suddenly find themselves in a downpour. Being prepared for such surprises in the weather is something to take into account when packing. Even in the heat of the summer, an umbrella, trousers and long-sleeved shirts should be packed. July is especially hot in Munich. In the winter, warm clothes will be needed as it gets quite cold.

Shoes for men or women should be comfortable. Visitors walk a lot in Munich, and the cobblestone streets can be very hard on feet.
