Local Tips
Munich maintains a more traditional Bavarian business culture with emphasis on formality, punctuality, and proper titles. The city is expensive, reflecting its high quality of life. Business lunches are common and can extend longer than in other German cities. Many offices close earlier on Fridays. During Oktoberfest (late September), expect reduced business availability. The Föhn wind occasionally affects the region and locals may be less patient on those days.
