Set against the majestic backdrop of the Alps, Bavaria's colourful capital is a city for all seasons. At its heart lies the lively Marienplatz with the impressive Gothic New Town Hall dominating the skyline.
Bustling streets lead to the famous Hofbrauhaus, whilst nearby lies the expanse of the English Garden with its beer gardens and bandstand. As evening falls, the convivial atmosphere of Munich continues in many bars, cafes and jazz clubs. Enriched by its ornate architecture, greenery, captivating hinterland and capacity for enjoyment, Munich is a delightfully inviting city and an excellent choice for a short break.
Munich is now Germany's second most popular destination after Berlin. The city is a haven for high culture, with a wide array of museums and vibrant arts scene. And of course the infamous Oktoberfest.
The heart of Munch is bisected by the Isar River, flowing northwards from its source 60km away in the Bavarian Alps.
Despite its comospolitanism, Munich is small enough to be digestible in one visit, and has the added bonus of a great setting, the snow-dusted mountains and Alpine lakes just an hour's drive away. The best time of year to come is from June to early October, when all the beer gardens, street cafes and bars are in full swing.
