Munich on a budgetShowHide
A day in Munich costs £44.33 per person on the ground on a budget, before the flight, eating and drinking at the cheaper end of what places charge. At typical prices it is £49.29, and a day that does not watch the pennies runs to £78.14. The food and drink prices are real menu prices we read in Munich on 22 Oct and 23 Oct, turned into pounds at the day's exchange rate, not guesses.
