The Australian government has raised the travel warning for the German city of Munich after a shooting attack at a shopping mall killed at least nine people.

The advice level for Germany remains normal, but Australians have been told to exercise a high degree of caution in Munich and pay close attention to their personal safety.

Travellers have been advised to follow advice from local authorities and avoid public places in the Bavarian city.

A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman says Australian officials in Germany are making urgent inquiries into whether any Aussies have been victims of the attack.
