«Munich shines» - and how!

So said Thomas Mann, way back in 1902 and his words still hold true today. This beautiful old city is a media, arts and cultural metropolis, the capital of Bavaria, home of Princesses and Kings for centuries and, to top it all, Germany's economic centre for technology. The so-called 'Silicon Valley' of Europe!

Munich by Numbers

With close to 1.3 million inhabitants, this 850 year old historical centre is Germany's third largest city. It boasts 11 colleges and universities attended by some 87,000 students, 58 theatres, 89 cinemas, 2 opera houses, 45 museums and art collections including the world-renowned «Neue Pinakothek», «Alte Pinakothek» and «Pinakothek der Moderne»! To add to this impressive list are 7 breweries and, of course, the Oktoberfest (Sept. 19th-Oct. 4th 2009). It's the world's biggest festival attracting over 6.5 million visitors each year to it's legendary beer tents.

Munich and its surroundings

The area around Munich is certainly not to be missed! Head south and you will discover crystal clear lakes then the stunning mountain scenery of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps - superb ski centres in the winter and fantastic for hiking, mountain biking and much more during the rest of the year. King Ludwig II's fairy tale castle 'Neuschwanstein' nestles in the Alpine foothills only 120km away.
