Munich

Planning a trip to Munich? Our travel guide contains up-to-date, personal information on everything from what to see, to when to visit, where to stay and what to eat!

With its lengthy and intense history, incredible architectural and cultural heritage, and beautiful natural landscapes, Munich is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany. The city, which is the capital of the federal state of Bavaria, is home to a perfect fusion of modernity and tradition.

Why visit Munich?

From a Medieval settlement to a regional capital with a proud artistic and cultural community, Munich's streets are packed with beautiful historic buildings dating back to the 12th century. It became a hotbed for extreme politics in the first half of the 20th century and was the location of the infamous Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler's failed coup d'état, in 1923. Suffering a huge amount of destruction during the Second World War, the city was rebuilt meticulously and experienced an amazing recovery. Today it's an important financial center with the strongest economy in Germany; is home to world-class museums and art galleries; and hosts any number of cultural and sporting events... why wouldn't you visit?!

Delve into the past on a tour of Munich under the Third Reich; indulge in the city's most popular drink at the famous Hofbrauhaus or go all out and visit during Oktoberfest; embrace the Baroque at the Nymphenburg Palace or admire the high-tech cars at the BMW Welt. Whatever you want from a trip - be it history, architecture, art, music, technology, sports, food, or anything else - you're sure to find it in Munich!
