About Munich
Pulsing with prosperity Munich revels in its own contradictions. Folklore and age-old traditions exist side by side with sleek cars, designer boutiques and high-powered industry. Despite all of its sophistication, Munich retains a touch of provincialism that visitors will find charming.
Things to see and do
- Pay a visit to the Marienplatz and watch the daily performance of the Glockenspiel, the giant animated clock high in the Neues Rathaus central tower.
- Frauenkirche, the symbol of Munich. Two onion-shaped domes on their matching square towers sating back to 1468.
- Relax with a beer or two and mingle with the locals at the Hofbrauhaus - probably the world's most famous tavern.
- Spend the afternoon at the Nymphenburg Palace and wander in the beautiful gardens and park.
- Mingle with the locals at the Viktualienmarkt, the city's oldest food market that is still its most popular gathering place.
