Packing for Southern Germany
Trips to Germany's south are often varied experiences, one day inspiring you to hike a trail in the
Alps, another to enjoy Munich's cycle paths, the next to splurge on a fancy city centre restaurant
- pack accordingly. Sturdy walking boots or trail shoes are a must, both for Alpine tracks and old
town sightseeing, as well as a waterproof outer layer when the rain falls. Germans are quite easy-
going about formal dress, but you may attract a few sour looks if you turn up to a fancy Munich
eatery or the theatre in hiking gear, so crumple something smart casual into your case as well.
Winters are bitterly cold so layers and woollens are essential between November and March;
summers are often sweltering, though have a sweater or fleece handy for cool evenings in the
Alps.
