Munich is a paradise for culture lovers. Marienplatz with its neo-Gothic town hall, the baroque Frauenkirche, and the opulent Nymphenburg Palace all tell stories of the city’s rich past. At the same time, Munich impresses with a world-class cultural offering: at the Pinakothek der Moderne, contemporary art meets Bauhaus classics; the Lenbachhaus showcases works by the Blue Rider group; and the Bavarian State Opera presents performances of the highest calibre. Even the cityscape itself is worth exploring – from elegant boulevards to vibrant neighbourhoods like Schwabing or Glockenbach. Munich is a city that inspires.
