Capital of beer combines Bavarian tradition with modernity
Munich – the capital city of Bavaria – is located close to the Bavarian Alps on the banks of the River Isar. The former capital of the Bavarian Kingdom is full of sights and monuments that show its proud history.
Munich is a city of contrasts – the atmosphere of a large city is combined with rural charm: alpine tradition and Mediterranean radiance, art treasures and Oktoberfest, local customs and high-tech innovation, beer gardens and opera. This exciting coexistence of seemingly opposing worlds is one of the main features of this city at the edge of the Alps.
The famous and worldwide probably best known event in Munich is the annual Oktoberfest, which manifests the German beer brewing tradition and is the largest fun fair in the world.
BMW cars are a symbol of luxury and quality all over the world, something that is quite reflective of its home city.
Sport enthusiasts, especially those with an affinity for soccer, will most definitely have a sensational time in Munich, since it is home to the FC Bayern Munich, one of Europe’s best soccer teams. The historic Olympic grounds are also a landmark of Munich.
The surrounding of Munich offers great alpine scenery with lakes and mountains, romantic castles, such as Neuschwanstein, and traditional Bavarian villages, like Oberammergau.
