Beautifully set amidst the lush hills and mountains of Bavaria, Munich is one of Germany’s most vibrant and picturesque cities. From its long history stretching back to the early days of the Holy Roman Empire, to its dynamic offering of beer kellers, clubs, museums and art galleries, Munich offers visitors a wealth of attractions and fascinating sights to see. The city is the capital of the beautiful region of Bavaria, filled with mountainside chalets, idyllic villages and imposing architectural landmarks. The verdant countryside of Bavaria lies just an hour outside of Munich city centre, lending it an unrivalled beauty that has made Munich Germany’s most coveted place to live. Despite suffering extensive damage during the war, Munich has been extensively and beautifully rebuilt, and has today regained its status as one of Germany’s and Europe’s most architecturally magnificent cities. There is a tangibly historic ambience pervading the entire city, from the world-famous Hofbrauhaus, to the sublime palace of Residenz and the Renaissance splendour of Michaelskirche. Indeed, Munich’s long history represents one of the greatest appeals of this most beautiful and imposing German cities. From the 12 th century it was one of the Holy Roman Empire’s most significant settlements in both cultural and political terms. In the early 19 th century it became the capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and it is from this period that many of Munich’s most famous architectural landmarks date. But it is perhaps the period between the wars for which Munich is most famous.

The Bavarian capital was the site of Hitler’s 1923 attempt to overthrow the state and central governments, an event that came to be known as the Beer Hall Putsch. Although this attempt ultimately failed, resulting in Hitler’s brief imprisonment, it nevertheless propelled the Nazi Party on the road to national prominence and power. Given its key role in the Nazi’s rise to power it was named Capital of the Movement, and it was here that the headquarters of the Nazi party was based. This is a legacy that Munich retains to this day. Dachau was the first Concentration Camp established by the Nazis upon coming to power. Although at first holding exclusively political prisoners, it became the prototype on which all camps used to propagate the Final Solution were based. The camp still stands today, having been preserved in remembrance of the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust. But Munich’s rare beauty and illustrious, if often brutal, heritage are far from its only attractions for visitors. The world famous Oktoberfest draws visitors in their thousands for a taste of the finest German beer and one of Europe’s most raucous parties. And this is only for six weeks a year. Munich also boasts one of the most dynamic club scenes in Germany, and combined with its wealth of art galleries, museums and magnificent urban landscapes, ensures that visitors to the city are never disappointed.
