Overview
Munich is the colourful, cosmopolitan capital city of Bavaria, the largest federal state (by area) in Germany.
Munich remains Germany's number-one place for art and has been the home or birthplace of many famous writers, artists, architects, and musicians.
The city has been brilliantly rebuilt after the war and many find it hard to believe that it was even bombed in WWII. It has beautiful Baroque and Roccoco architecture, green countryside, the second largest university in Germany, and an almost reverent understanding of beer - it’s easy to see why this city is a favourite among Germans and non-Germans alike.

Take a walk through Viktualienmarkt, the most famous market in the city.
