With Oktoberfest fast approaching, Karoline Graf, a spokesperson at the city's tourist office, said there are a whole range of events on offer, including the spectacular opening festival parade on September 19th.
At 12:00 local time the lord mayor of Munich has the honour of tapping the first keg of Oktoberfest beer, signalling that all can follow his example and quench their thirst.
However, those planning a last-minute trip should remember the situation with hotels is "not that good" following a flurry of bookings and raised rates, she added.
Instead, travellers could consider campsites where they can pitch a tent or park their motorhome.
It is estimated that six million litres of beer will be drunk during this year's festivities, a fact likely to appeal to UK holidaymakers.
A recent TripAdvisor study found Brits abroad are the most likely of all the Europeans to be found propping up the bar, spending an average of one hour and 38 minutes per day enjoying the local hospitality on holiday.
