Information & Facts
Things to do:
With our cheap weekend breaks to Munich from Ireland you can enjoy the OctoberFest - a popular event that has become hugely successful over the last few years. It originated from the province of Bavaria making Munich an ideal location to sample some of the local ales.
City breaks to Munich from Dublin are a great way to explore Munich’s Olympic village and taking in the fantastic views of the surrounding area from the Olympic tower situated within the Olympic park. A slightly overlooked aspect of the city is the extensive collection of car manufacturers and their museums. If you are looking to escape the city walls then we recommend taking a trip to Neuschwanstein with its captivating views over the vast countryside of Bavaria.
Language
German is the official language. English is also widely spoken and understood.
Money
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents. ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit cards are becoming more widely accepted in many large shops, hotels and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash. Travellers cheques are best cashed at exchange bureaux, as banks often won't change them. The quickest and most convenient way to change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway stations are open daily from 6am to 10pm.
