All rights reserved. A valid passport is required to enter Germany and Austria. A visa is not necessary. The business hours of stores and shops are governed by law. The Bundestag extended these hours effective 1997, but shops have been slow to open earlier and stay open later, largely because the habits of their customers have been slow to change.
Most restaurants are open into the late evening every day, including Sundays and holidays.
In the month of May, Munich has an average temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and an average rainfall of 4 inches. May is a good time to visit Germany. The more popular sights are not crowded and the spring weather is pleasant. Be prepared for unexpected cool days and rain - a warm jacket, a sweater, and an umbrella should cover every weather contingency. Don't leave your baggage unattended.
