Munich is Germany's center of intellect and industry, a lively
European arts-and-culture hub, and the world capital of beer and
classy cars (but don't mix those last two). The city is equally comfortable
as a vibrant university town, where the Nobel Prize winners Thomas
Mann and Albert Einstein rank among the famed intelligentsia, and as
an economic powerhouse surrounded by cutting-edge industry. Munich
is also the gateway to the rustic, folklore-saturated Bavarian region.
Each autumn, Munich is home to beer and food bashes during a monthlong
celebration called Oktoberfest. Munich's cultural events, theatres,
and museums are sure to keep you busy for several days.
