MUNICH – THE ALLROUND CITY

In Munich, it’s the mix that makes the message. Old meets new, past meets present and future, the modern blends harmoni-ously with the traditi onal, bits and bytes with beer, business and leisure. For the visitor, there is an abundance of sights to see or acti viti es to engage in. And 2010, which has seen the 200th anniversary of the famous Oktoberfest, among other things, is shaping up to be yet another special year in the city’s great history.

The Bavarian Metropolis with its 1.5 million inhabitants lies vir-tually at the centre of Europe and is easy to access, either by high-speed trains, by motorway, or through a large internati onal airport.

Year aft er year, Munich takes gold in German city rankings. When asked where they would prefer to live, most Germans say Munich. The reason is simple: a magic combinati on of a vigorous economy and top-notch leisure ti me acti viti es and outstand-ing cultural off erings. Three world-class orchestras, countless concert venues and a host of festi vals ensure a constant fl ow of music of all styles. The city also has a wide array of museums, notably the three Pinakothek art museums exhibiti ng fi ne arts and graphic arts from six centuries all located within walking distance. Science and technology have a worthy home in the Deutsches Museum on the Isar River.

Two of the best universiti es of Germany are located in Munich: the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, established in 1472, and the Technical University Munich, established in 1868.

Finally Munich is a shopper’s paradise, with fi ne fashions, designer outlets, venerable department stores, anti que shops and excellent bookstores. And while about food, when it comes to eati ng or just taking a break, visitors will fi nd establishments off ering every type of fare imaginable and for all budgets. The best place to enjoy typical Bavarian cuisine, a most nati ves of Munich will tell you, is at one of the city‘s lively beer gardens, the ideal place to meet old friends and make new ones.
