Munich Tourism & Travel Guide - Know Before you Go!

Munich Overview

It’s home to beer-halls, beer-gardens, beer-cellars and all things beer. They've been brewing 'liquid bread' here for over 3,000 years and no one does it better than them. But there’s more to Munich than the legendary Oktoberfest. The Bavarian city nurtures folklore and age-old traditions and its vibrant cultural and music scene is famous across Germany. It is known for its museums that house world-class collections of artistic masterpieces and has more theatres and galleries than any other city in the country. With its charming provincial flavor, comes Munich’s slick and sophisticated modern lifestyle. The BMWs, designer boutiques and high-powered industry co-exist with all its ancient and cultural glory. The city’s easygoing attitude of live-and-let-live makes it even more welcoming and you will agree with the Müncheners when they say that their ‘metropolis’ is little more than a Weltdorf, or a world village. So pack your bags and raise a toast to this beautiful city!
