Munich is Germany's pride as it is a hub for art, culture, history, sports, education, and technology. Considered as an alpha-world city, it is the political, cultural and economic center of Bavaria. Home to the German luxury car manufacturer BMW and most notably famous for its month-long beer festival, the Oktoberfest and as a center for German football with its home team, FC Bayern Muenchen, the city is much more than what it seems. Munich is home to some brilliantly stunning pieces of architecture which serve as landmarks such as the Frauenkirche, Munich Residenz, St. Peter's Church, and the Allianz Arena, among many others. Let it be shopping around lively markets and arenas or immersing yourself in the rich history, there is no dearth of activities here to keep you engaged. Having been the crux of the cultural and historical stronghold in south Germany for more than 900 years, there is little doubt Munich won't flatter you.
