Munich Travel Guide
The capital of Bavaria is one of Germany’s most fascinating cities. It is a versatile cosmopolitan blend of the European version of Silicon Valley, with a Mediterranean pace, and seen to the untrained eye as “typical German”. The broad sidewalks, fashionable boutiques and eateries, views of the Alps, a sizable river running through town, and a huge green park make this city one of Germany’s most visited cities. Whichever way you look at it, and whatever you’re interested in – the beer or the art, Munich promises to charm.
