Munich simply has everything that makes a city worth living and loving: between urbanity and cosiness, tradition and progress, green nature and a lot of culture lies the metropolis of Munich. Besides these characteristics, we have 5 more reasons why you should make a city trip to Munich.

The city

Of all the beautiful cities in Germany, Munich is one of the most worth-seeing. If you walk a few minutes in any direction the next point of interest shines in the sun. The beautiful Kaufingerstraße between Marienplatz and Karlsplatz with its countless shops, the Gärtnerplatz, with its bustling activity or the Nymphenburger Schloss. In Munich you can’t stop looking and marvelling.

Culinary delights

The culinary specialities in Munich are something very unique. From the traditional Weißwurst breakfast, to the Obazda, to the beer ice cream from the crazy ice cream maker – in Munich the taste has no limits. Most of all the Viktualienmarkt in the middle of the old town is a feast for the eyes and palate.

The sport

Munich offers sports fans a huge selection. Whether passively as a spectator at a game of FC Bayern Munich or actively on the surfboard on the Eisbach wave. Munich is a sports paradise both in winter and summer.

Nature

As big as the city with its many impressive buildings is – with several lakes nearby, the Alps in view and the English Garden, Munich City is not inferior to nature.

The Events

Munich is anything but boring. Because with so many events, such as the Oktoberfest, the Tollwood Culture Festival, the Film Festival, the many theatres, operas, circuses, fairs, folk festivals and concerts, boredom is almost impossible.
