Servus from Munich: as you may know: Munich is now the most unfriedly city in the world. This comes from a Mix of the Grantler, Mia San Mia and Schickeria culture. The first is the traditional grumpy nature of the typical Bavarian (especially Oberbayern). Sone say this is because of the Föhn wind (warm, dry downdraft that occurs on the leeward side of alps mountains) which can cause headache and paired with a massive beer consume even more. Mia San Mia and Schickeria is only typical in Munich: Many people from all over Germany moved to Munich in the 60s and 70s and earned money and build up an extreme snob culture seeing theirself as better as the rural people in Bavaria. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2048237/incredible-european-city-famous-its https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2048237/incredible-euro...

FWIW as a (somewhat frequent) visitor this has not been my experience at all, and in comparision to other European cities I found it very warm and inviting.

  Depends on the European cities you are comparing it to. Any sizable Dutch city would be much more warm and inviting in my opinion. Compared to some French, Swiss, or German cities.. Yeah, Munich is definitely one of the better ones. Hamburg is the best German city in this regard though.

I grew up in Munich, so I’m heavily biased, but my impression is that people in Munich may appear somewhat cold/“grantlerig” on the outside, but when you actually interact on them on a personal level, they are extremely warm and welcoming. I’ve lived in several places in the world, so I have some comparison. Prague seemed similar in that regard to me: People don’t even smile at you in public, but damn are they a friendly and inviting bunch once you get to hang out with them. I felt right at home immediately.
