Munich - Gateway to the Alps
Welcome to Munich – Bavaria’s beautiful
capital! Brimming with exciting attractions, cultural delights,
glorious historical architecture, great shopping opportunities
and tranquil parks, Munich really does have something for everyone.
Munich is a cosmopolitan city that retains its traditional
charm of a provincial town and cultural wealth whilst exuding
a warm Mediterranean flair. There are fascinating museums and
sights. With its imposing dome-topped towers, the ‘Frauenkirche’
is Munich’s most famous landmark. Relax in one of the
many beer gardens, enjoy tasty Bavarian specialities and, of
course, no visit would be complete without a ‘Maß’
of beer!
Insider Tip:
Visit the ‘Pinakotheken Viertel’ (Art Galleries Quarter) north-east of the main station. The area features three main art museums - the Old, the New and the Modern Pinakothek - which exhibit masterpieces from the Middle Ages to the present.
