Travel tips for Munich

Munich
Munich (German: ''München'') is the capital city of Bavaria, the largest federal state of Germany (by area - not by population). Within the city limits, Munich has a population of more than 1.3 million, making it the third most populous city in Germany. The urban area, which sprawls on the foothills of the Alps, has a population of about 2.7 million. Munich is noted for its architecture and culture, and the annual ''Oktoberfest'' beer celebration is world famous. Munich's cultural scene is second to none in Germany, with the museums even considered by some to outrank Berlin in quality. Many travelers to Munich are absolutely stunned by the quality of the architecture. Although it was heavily damaged by allied bombing during World War II, many of its historic buildings have been rebuilt and the city center appears mostly as it did in the late 1800s.

Top places in Munich
 Oktoberfest (,Ocktoberfest, Octoberfest,October Fest, Oktober Fest,Oktober Fest)
You must go!  Even if you don't drink beer - it's about more than that.  You can mingle with locals wearing traditional lederhosen, laugh at the crazy merchandise and just enjoy the amazing, buzzing culture around you.  The atmosphere is incredible as everyone joins together to celebrate.  So hold up your stein, grab a giant pretzel for Euro 3,50 or snag a wurst and cheer, "Eins, Zwei - G'suffa!"

 Olympia Park
Located just outside the city, the site of the 1972 Munich Olympics so tragically remembered for the wrong reasons. The Olympic Tower offers a unique perspective on the city; the Olympic Stadium hosts national and international sporting events and concerts.

 Allianz Arena
HUGE! Really huge! Saw a game in the 2008 Season of the 2nd Bundesliga, 1. FCN vs 1860 München. Scary view especially if sitting in the top rows. Goes down quite steeply toward the field.

 Viktualienmarkt
Take in the sights and smells of this wonderful outdoor market in downtown Munich. Steps away from the City Hall - decide what you want to eat - grab a mass and sit on a bench in the bier garten and enjoy. Watch the people shopping for their evening meal and enjoying the day and the good company of the residents in Munich - always with a beer in one hand and a pretzel in the other.

 Munich
One of the more relaxing districts, where the atmosphere causes residents and visitors alike to forget they are in a city of over a million. Take any tram with the end stop Romanplatz, for example the 12, and get out there, or get out at Rotkreuzplatz and relax in a beer garden or enjoy some ice cream or a bite to eat at one of the many nearby restaurants. Both of these neighborhoods are virtually undiscovered by tourists even though Neuhausen is home to a popular night club and the world's largest beer garden. What's more astounding is that, while millions of tourists flock to Munich in the summer months and September and October for Oktoberfest, few find their way to the tranquil Schloss Nymphenburg gardens.
