Is euro accepted in Munich?

What is the local currency? The official currency of Germany is the euro (EUR). The euro (EUR) is also legal tender through much of the rest of Europe, including Austria, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Luxemburg, Finland, Ireland and Greece.



Yes, the Euro (€) is the only official currency of Munich and the rest of Germany. It is accepted universally throughout the city, from high-end boutiques on Maximilianstraße to the rustic beer halls like the Hofbräuhaus. While major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are increasingly popular in 2026, Munich still maintains a "cash-friendly" culture, especially in smaller bakeries, traditional cafes, and some older beer gardens. It is always a good idea to carry some coins or small bills for public toilets or minor purchases. Travelers should be aware that while some shops in major tourist hubs or the airport might display prices in other currencies, they will still process the transaction in Euros, and paying with foreign currency is not a standard practice.
