Best Places to Visit in Munich

Welcome To Munich...

the Bavarian capital that is so diverse it's difficult to know if you are in a metropolis or a huge village. Sometimes Munich is a magnificent and stylish cosmopolitan city, sometimes it offers up a tranquil idyll. Sometimes it is brightly coloured and brash; sometimes it dons conservative blue and white checks. But whether Komödienstadl or Opernfestspiele, Maximilianstraße or Schwabing, brewhouse or night club, veal sausage or nouvelle cuisine, it is precisely Munich's many faces, its extremes, which make the city on the Isar River so full of live, constantly inviting you to make new discoveries.
