Munich
May to June and October.
May, June and October give mild weather and manageable queues, with highs between 15 and 23 degrees. July and August are the warmest months, at about 25 degrees on average, and the busiest. September is warm too, but hotel demand peaks when Oktoberfest runs from mid September to early October, and December fills with Christmas market visitors.

Rain falls on 14 to 17 days a month in every season, so a wet day is likely at some point. The Residenz, the Deutsches Museum, the Alte Pinakothek, the BMW Museum and the NS-Dokumentationszentrum all keep you indoors, and the churches are free. Put the English Garden, Nymphenburg's park and the Olympiapark on a dry day.
Summer highs average about 25 degrees, and heat waves can push well past that. Plan open air sights early or in the evening, and use the Deutsches Museum or the Alte Pinakothek in the middle of the day. The English Garden and the beer gardens under chestnut trees have shade, and the Isar offers a place to cool off.
