Context

Our verdict

Munich (München), capital of Bavaria: 1.5 million inhabitants, Germany's most prosperous city (BMW, Siemens), "Northern Italy" atmosphere (biergartens, baroque art). July-August are my favorite months (8.1/10): 57-75°F, 46-48% rain in afternoon storms, biergartens packed, festivals.
