"Munich nestles between art and beer like a village between
hills." Originally written by Heinrich Heine some 150 years
ago, these words remain true today. With the oktoberfest and
opera, Hofbräuhaus beer hall and Pinakothek art galleries,
BMW and Bayern Munich, the city manages to marry old
Bavarian tradition with vibrant modern life. It really is a
dream city come true.
With its famous onion domes, the 15th century Gothic Church
of Our Lady is Munich's unmistakable landmark. Not far away,
at Marienplatz, the carillon plays three times a day. And
just a stone's throw from here is probably the most famous
tavern in the world, the Hofbräuhaus beer hall. Other
sightseeing highlights include the Olympic centre where the
Olympic Games were held in 1972. |
