Attractions in Munich, Germany    

Quick Summary: Germany's unofficial southern capital of Munich is a cosmopolitan playground for travelers. Home of the world-famous Oktoberfest, Bavarian waitresses in Dirndls, traditional Lederhosen (leather pants), beer, and sausages, the city also offers a modern take on Bavarian traditions. Mediterranean-style street cafés and highbrow art galleries stand alongside Mitteleuropa beer halls, centuries-old buildings, and beautiful museums, while well-heeled power dressers walk beside Lederhosen-clad thigh-slappers. The central Marienplatz Square in the Altstadt (Old Town) features historical landmarks such as Neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus (town hall) and other world-class sights, as well as spectacular views of the Alps.
