Christmas / New Year’s Eve / Epiphany in Munich
Munich
Munich, Germany’s third largest city and the capital of Bavaria, is often voted one of the best cities to live in. On the other hand, it is a beautiful city to visit for a few or even more days. Unique city, rich, fancy, with everything everyone wants. What to do and what to see for the first time in Munich! Countless museums, imposing churches, the magnificent Gothic town hall, the famous Maximilian strasse with its elegant shop windows, its luxurious hotels and so much more. Munich is known for its universities, the Bayern Munich soccer team and its beers. And of course for the annual beer festival, the world famous Oktoberfest. Words are redundant and descriptions often lose their value. Only if someone sees it, walks it, lives it, will he have a complete and clear opinion about this wonderful city.
