Nobody likes to harp on about the stereotypes attached to a city when describing it, but it’s hard not to when talking about Munich. The Bavarian capital is birthplace of the beer hall where men and women decked in lederhosen line larger than life beers in front of thirsty tourists to the sound of traditional German ‘oompah’ bands. But there is a lot more to the city than that. Munich gets increasingly cosmopolitan every year and it has one of the best selections of museums in Germany. This is why it now rivals Berlin as the most popular city in Germany with travellers.

    Munich is Bavarian, Not German

    Munich is a city full of history and excitement. While most people automatically flock to Berlin when initially visiting Germany, Munich (and the state in which it is located, Bavaria) is where the majority of what most people consider to be "German" culture to come from (i.e. lederhosen). Even though it's a city with many traditions, Munich has an incredible range of people and the fascinating history of the Nazi party. Tons of things to do and see, delicious food - definitely make it a stop.

    Insider Tip:If you're looking for a good walking tour, take The ozTour of Munich - you'll never have a better tour anywhere on your travels.

    One of Europe's Freindliest Cities

    People complain about Munich being expensive, but coming from London, it was still reasonable to me. The bonus was the people....nothing was too much trouble for them. Great U/S-Bahn Network, Amazing Trams, fantastic Architecture

    Insider Tip:Buy a Singel-Tagskarte to get around lasts from 08:00 till 06:00 the next day.....Great Value

    THE LOVE FOR MUNICH

    I love Munich. Munich is a gorgeous city. In the summer and in the winter. The character of Munich is enchanting. I love being there and apart of the life in Munich its captivating. The beer is so delicious and tasteful. Munich is just bliss. I highly recommend visiting Munich and enjoying the life it has to offer.

    Insider Tip:Explore. Go to the Hofbrauhaus house in Munich at night it's a festival. People drinking eating and celebrating life.

    Great base for south Germany

    Buzzling city, but you can cover all the touristic spots in 2, maybe 3 days. It's a great place if you plan on doing daytrips to south Germany, or if you're going to the Oktoberfest, of course.

    Insider Tip:Go to Fussen and check the Neuschwanstein there. It's no more than 2 hours from Munich and totally worth a visit.

    Better than I expected

    Floating down the river in the Engish Garden may have been the best part of my entire Eurotrip. Sooo fun. Street musicians here are really good so we spent some time listening to them in Marian Platz. Dachau concentration camp isn't far and is definitely worth a visit. Hofbrauhaus and Weisses Brauhaus were good spots for beer and traditional Bavarian cuisine.

    Insider Tip:Get wiener schnitzel at Hofbrauhaus, and Schweinsbraten at Weisses Brauhaus. Go to the English Garden, and also every beer garden you can find!

Germany: Itinerary

Munich epitomises everything about Germany – huge jugs of beer can be got in beer halls which can be found all over the city while frankfurter sausages are also freely available. But there is more to the Bavarian capital than sausages and beer and explore it and you will discover a whole lot more.
