Munich, which is the administrative center of the fertile land of Bavaria, is one of the most visited German cities. More than three million travelers from all over the world come here every year. The city is located in the central part of the Swabian-Bavarian plateau, surrounded by lakes Starnbergersee and Ammersee.
Almost a thousand years ago, a monastery was founded in the Isar valley, from which the history of Munich begins. Now this metropolis, unusually bright and romantic, is the largest tourist center in Germany. On its streets you can find architectural monuments of various styles, from Gothic to Art Nouveau, many museums, castles and ancient squares.
But, being a real treasury of priceless cultural and artistic wealth, the city remains the center of beer traditions and noisy holidays. Therefore, holidays in Munich are attractive for their versatility and are popular among tourists of all age groups.
One of the largest parks in the world is located here – the English Garden, founded in the 18th century. Its lush vegetation, harmonious landscape architecture and cozy pubs attract the attention of numerous tourists and locals at any time of the year.
The huge Nymphenburg Park, the Hofgarten royal garden, the Olympic Park and many other park complexes are a real decoration of the city, creating many secluded green corners where you can enjoy the silence, hiding from the bustle of the street.
But one of the main attractions of Munich is undoubtedly the world’s largest beer festival – Oktoberfest. For many, holidays in Bavaria are associated with this festival, which offers a wide variety of entertainment: carousels, rides, solemn processions and musical concerts.
Here you can try Bavarian specialty sweets: gingerbread, roasted almonds or cotton candy. And, of course, beer from the best Munich breweries is sold in the festive pavilions. Tickets to Oktoberfest are bought not only by youth companies, but also by families with children, for whom special zones of attractions are arranged.
There are a variety of group tours and individual excursions in Munich, during which you can get acquainted with the architecture of the city by visiting Allianz Arena.
Thematic tours allow you to delve into the features of one of the architectural styles, learn the details of some historical facts and, while visiting the Oktoberfest Museum, taste the local beer and find out the production secrets of its creation.
And the tours to Oktoberfest themselves provide an excellent opportunity to participate in one of the oldest holidays in Germany, which originated 200 years ago.
In this hospitable city, everyone will find entertainment to their liking. And its atmosphere of antiquity, in which modern life is harmoniously intertwined, will not leave indifferent even the most demanding tourists.
