Historically famous and in present time more cheered for its OKTOBER FEST, München or Munich is very dynamic and colorful city. No doubt it attracts travelers from almost all part of the world.
After getting out of Central station, I asked a passerby “Wo ist die Bank?” and he asked me back, Do you speak English?....I can’t understand Deutsch?.... and I answered NATURLICH :)
Munich was often called the "most northern city in Italy" for the stunning baroque architecture of the 18th and 19th Centuries, Munich’s palaces, royal avenues, theatres and churches make it one of the most characterful cities in Germany.
The city is teeming with beer halls and beer gardens, where the amber liquid flows without end. Home of the celebrated “Weizenbier”, a typically Bavarian wheat beer, it isn´t surpirsing that more beer is consumed in the region than in anywhere else in Germany! And not to mention…. the hundreds of thousands of Weisswürste (white sausages) consumed every day.

Apart from the Munich’s festive colour, its history is a long, important one – at times shocking, at times amusing, but always fascinating. Later named by the Nazis as Die Hauptstadt der Bewegung (the Capital of the Movement), Munich and its surrounds were central to the rise to power of the Nazi leader. There are many infamous streets in Munich where some of the darkest stories of human history took root and grew into Hitler´s dictatorship. The death-site of more than 40,000 people at the Concentration Camp Memorial of Dachau lies just 20km North-West of the city, and is one of the most important places to visit in Germany. Munich was extensively damaged by allied bombing during the 1930s and 40s. But following American occupation in 1945, the city of Munich emerged from the rubble and was restored to its former glory, more so than any other German city scarred by war.
