Munich Victory Gate, Germany
Frauenkirche
The gothic cathedral and parish church "Zu Unserer Lieben Frau" from the 15th century is and remains the unmistakable
landmark of the city. But not everyone knows that massive church is the resting place of emperors and even the devil is
said to have come and gone here. The more than 500-year-old brick building is the seat of the Archbishop of Munich and
Freising. One of the two almost 100-meter-high towers is accessible and offers a spectacular view over the city.
Marienplatz
The Marienplatz has been Munich's central square and the heart of the city since its foundation. It was used for markets
and tournaments back in the days. In addition to the massive New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) which fills one entire side
of Marienplatz, you'll find the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) forming a gate at the far end. In the large open square
you will see the Mariensäule, a tall column to the Virgin Mary erected in 1638, and the Fischbrunnen, a newer fountain
that includes bronze figures rescued from an earlier 19th-century fountain. Marienplatz is popular for its many stores,
boutiques, and restaurants and cafés. It is also the location of festivals thoughout the year. During winter, a large
Christmas Market is situated here, next to many more in the city.
Allianz Arena
The Allianz Arena in Fröttmaning is one of Germany's most modern and spectacular football stadiums. As the home ground
of FC Bayern Munich, it shines in red on home match days. Outside the match days, there are special illuminations on
various occasions, e.g. on St. Patrick's Day the arena shines in green or during advent as a huge Christmas present. The
Arena was designed by architects Herzog & Meuron, and it is an architectural landmark in the north of the city, which
also attracts many visitors on match-free days thanks to the guided tours on offer and the FC Bayern Erlebniswelt..
Englischer Garten
One of the most beautiful sights in Munich is without a doubt the English Garden, located in the city centre. With an
area of 375 hectares, the English Garden is the second largest park in Germany. Since its opening in 1792, the English
Garden is one of Munich's most popular and beloved attractions, for locals and visitors from across the world alike.
Karl Theodor pursued the goal of creating military gardens in every Bavarian city for the soldiers to keep them busy in
times of peace.
Nymphenburg Palace
The Nymphenburg Palace was built to celebrate the birth of the Bavarian heir to the throne, Max Emanuel.With its
magnificent gardens and spacious rooms, it quickly became the refuge of the Bavarian kings, many of whom were born or
died here. The large Baroque palace of Nymphenburg, in the northwest outskirts of the city, was originally the summer
residence of the Wittelsbach Electors in the 17th century. Extending more than 600 meters from wing to wing, this vast
palace is surrounded on each side by the Nymphenburg Canal, which splits as it passes around the main buildings before
reuniting again in a fountain-adorned pool in front of the main façade..
Deutsches Museum
The Deutsches Museum is one of the most visited sights in Munich. Every year, around 1.5 million visitors let themselves
be carried away into the wonderful world of science. There are more than 30 exhibitions on over 25,000 square meters.
The range of topics spans astronomy, chemistry, physics, mining, computer science, mathematics, photography & film,
aerospace, metals, telecommunications, tools, musical instruments, machines of all kinds, robots and much more.
Neuschwanste in Castle, Germany
Hofbräuhaus
You know, beer is important to a city when there's a state-run beer hall. The famous Hofbräuhaus dates back to the 16th
century and offers the quintessential German beer hall experience with a live brass band. Careful: Oktoberfest rules
apply here: no service without a spot, so prepare to charm your way to the end of a table and share room. If possible,
avoid Friday and Saturday nights; as one of the most popular tourist attractions in Munich, it may take more than 45
minutes to get a table and a beer. To get quicker service and a less frustrating experience, go on a Sunday night
instead.
Tierpark Hellabrunn
The zoo Hellabrunn belongs to the best and most famous zoos in Europe and covers an area of 89 hectares. The zoo
Hellabrunn, founded in 1911, was the first zoo in the world where animals were grouped according to their origin. Today,
more than 19,000 animals from 757 species are kept in open-air enclosures that are modelled on the conditions in the
wild, with animals that normally share habitats being kept together wherever possible. The zoo offers many attractions,
for example the elephant house, the polarium and the monkey houses. Situated directly on the Isar river, Hellabrunn Zoo
offers many beautiful walking paths, playgrounds and picnic areas.
Oktoberfest
The Munich Oktoberfest is the largest and certainly the most famous folk festival in the world. It was first held in
1810 on the occasion of the wedding of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. Today it is one of
1810 for the first time committed, it has become one of the absolute highlights of the Munich calendar. Over six million
guests from all over the world visit the two-week festival on the Theresienwiese every year.
