Munich -
Explore This Fascinating City
Munich, the capital of Bavaria is one of the most attractive cities in Germany. We don't say this, because we live here, people from all over Germany acknowledge this fact :-).
Bavarians and especially citizens of Munich (in German: München) are very proud of their capital. So are we! We have been living in Munich for almost 7 years now and we understand why so many tourists visit us.
Come with us on a journey to discover Munich. You'll find anything from stunning attractions, world-class museums, delicious Bavarian food, to throbbing nightlife. And don't forget to visit some of the wonderful restaurants or the famous beer gardens. We'll tell you about our favorite ones even at the risk of finding them overcrowded, when we want to go there ;-)
When you get enough from sightseeing,
what about some really great
shopping?
I know the best boutiques for extravagant shoes, reduced designer
clothes, sun glasses, hand bags, souvenirs, etc. I'll even tell you
where the men can drink a beer, while we women are enjoying our
shopping expedition :-)
One thing that is closely tied with Munich is the famous Oktoberfest. Since I went there the first time about 5 years ago, I've become "addicted" to the Oktoberfest and its special atmosphere. Contrary to what you read on the news, it's much more than the infamous "beer drinking celebration". In fact, it's a festival with roller scooters, merry-go-round, cotton candy and roasted almonds. A place to gather and have fun with your friends and family.
Munich is favored by its geographical
location in the South of Germany. Within an hour drive you can find
beautiful lakes like
Starnberger See,
Chiemsee, and Ammersee. The lakes are surrounded by a
stunning landscape with mountains,
that are the foothills of the Alps.
Great places to hike, swim, sail, canoe in summer or ski, coast, ice skate, and
cross-country ski
in winter. Munich prouds herself to offer a wider
range of sports than any other city.
Hey, did you know that the best surfers in Bavaria practice in the
Eisbach (Ice River) in the English garden
in Munich? Fortunately
directly at a bridge which is perfect for visitors to stand there
and admire them :-)
Austria, Italy and Switzerland can be easily reached, just in case you get bored in Munich ("Monaco di Baviera" as the Italians call our beautiful city) and want to visit some of our European neighbors. In the north of Munich lies the Bayrischer Wald (Bavarian Forest), a still secluded region with wonderful landscapes, ideal for families who want to relax and keep their kids away from all the hazzle of a big city.
We'd like to show you around: Find out everything about Munich and how to spend your vacation here like a real "Münchner" (person from Munich). Take your time to discover which part of Munich and its lovely surroundings you like most, plan your vacation carefully and we guarantee you'll have an experience here that you'll never forget.
