Per-payment figures are the all-in total divided by 3 and rounded. The number of payments and the schedule differ by partner — Happy Pay splits over 2 — and your own plan depends on that partner's approval. You see it in full before you confirm. Fares are the lowest seen for a sample date about six weeks out, not a quote; airline pricing moves constantly.
Best time to fly
Weather, crowds and fares move together in Munich. These are the trade-offs.
May to September
Warm, with beer gardens open and the Alps at their best for walking.
Late September to early October
Oktoberfest. Extraordinary atmosphere, and accommodation prices to match — book far ahead.
December to March
Cold, with Christmas markets in December and the ski season through to March.
Before you go
Schengen visa
Required in advance. Appointments book out well ahead.
Oktoberfest
If you are travelling in late September or early October, accommodation must be booked months ahead and will be expensive.
Alps access
Trains reach the Bavarian Alps in an hour or two, making day trips practical.
About Munich
Munich is Bavaria's capital and the most immediately appealing of Germany's big cities — a preserved old town, enormous beer gardens, and the Alps visible on a clear day.
It is the gateway to the Bavarian Alps, Neuschwanstein and, in winter, the Austrian and German ski resorts an hour or two south.
Getting in from the airport
Munich Airport (MUC) is about 35 km north-east of the city. The S-Bahn takes around 40 minutes to the centre and runs frequently.
Entry requirements for South African passport holders
Germany is in the Schengen area and South African passport holders require a Schengen visa arranged before travel. Appointments and processing take weeks — apply early and follow official guidance.
Entry rules change. Confirm the current requirements with the destination's embassy or consulate before you travel — this page is a guide, not an authority.
