Munich is the epicentre of Bavarian heritage. It’s affectionate nickname of Millionendorf implies that the city is a “village of a million.” This paints the notion that whilst Munich is a large urban sprawl, it also portrays the feeling of small town life where a close-knit local community greets each other and the shop keepers are all known by their first name. With a booming high-high-tech economy and an array of provoking art, along with the locals sporting lederhosen – Munich is a city where tradition meets modernity like few other.

The Bavarian capital is one of the most affluent cities in the world, it’s an economic powerhouse and it’s economy boasts a larger GDP than most small countries. Whilst sitting in a quaintly lit summer beer garden, people watching in the English garden or driving along in the luxury of your BMW, Porsche or Mercedes, one can sense an unlikely found fusion in most other places of wealth, well-heeled living, coziness and yet a laid back non-pretentious attitude that dominates the aura that Munich is all about.

It is impossible to visit Munich and to not appreciate it’s cultural love for beer. With tall glass tankards, lederhosen and it’s world famous beer festival Oktoberfest, Munich is well worth a song and dance. Beer has been a part of Munich’s culture for over seven centuries and the culture just as alive today than ever. Nowhere else in Europe has a beer tradition quite like the Bavarian capital. It possesses six mammoth breweries that pumps out world-class beer to hundreds of beer gardens and beer halls, ensuring the Bavarian population and it’s visitors will never go thirsty.
