A Warm Welcome Awaits In The Capital Of Bavaria
A warm welcome awaits you in the third largest German city, which is a major international arts and business centre with something to interest all ages and tastes.
Some 1.3 million live in Munich, an 800-year-old city with numerous museums and several fine Baroque and Renaissance churches.There is living history and architecture in abundance.
Take a relaxing stroll or cycle through some of the many parks, while the more energetic can head for the mountains beyond. Or just sit back and take in the fairytale charm of the city and its surroundings in one of the many beer gardens while tucking into some tasty regional dish. Since the foundation of the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in the 19th century, followed by the Ludwig Maximilians-University, the Technical University and the Polytechnical Society, Munich has been a centre of science and renowned for high-quality industrial products. The city is today home to some 10 universities. A study by the city’s department for labour and economic development published in 2005 identified the combination of science and industry as making Munich "distidustry as making Munich “distinctive as a city of knowledge”.
However, the city is arguably best known for its annual beer festival – the Oktoberfest – the first of which was held in 1810 to celebrate the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen.
