Munich is one of Europe’s must-visit cities. It’s a city of warm people, beautiful architecture, culture, museums, hardy food and great beer. Often portrayed as the strait-laced, industrious counterpart to hedonistic Berlin, Munich tends to steer clear of the limelight. Save for its annual six-million-person beer binge on Theresienwiese open space for Oktoberfest, the Bavarian Munich is a fabulous choice for visitors of all ages due to its intriguing history, proximity to all sorts of outdoor activities, plentiful museums and attractions and a highly functional infrastructure that features a comprehensive and reliable transit system, and safety—there is little to no violent crime in Munich, and the city boasts a strong culture of trust.
