Munich: Beer, Bread, and Golf!

Rapidly becoming the German centre of both history and luxury, Munich is the capital of Germany’s Bavaria region and best known for its invigorating festivals. But, there’s more to Munich than just beer and bread, its an eccentric city brimming with strange quirks and boasts an impressive food scene.

Munich is considered as the cultural hub of Germany, with a rich history incomparable to its sister cities. Although much of the city was heavily damaged during World War II, many of the historic buildings have since been rebuilt and appears almost exactly as it did in the late 19th century.

Toytown, as it’s affectionately referred by locals, also embraces several quality museums for every interest under the sun. Be sure to visit the Lenbachhaus, one of Munich’s finest museums and former house of renowned painter Lenbach.

And as autumn is fast approaching, there’s no better time to visit Munich than during the city’s annual Oktoberfest! The city welcomes more than six million travelers from all across the globe to enjoy an enthralling 16-day to 18-day folk festival filled with parades, food, music, and so much more. Top foods you should definitely check out include the classic roast chicken, pork knuckles, sweet roasted almonds, and of course beer (which is actually considered food in Munich, funnily enough)!

Munich is also a very green city, which means you can almost always find a lush and verdant park. From the enchanting English Garden to Tierpark Hellabrunn, nature is truly woven throughout this southern city.
