History, Art and Culture

For centuries Munich has been the capital of one of the oldest dynasties in Europe.  This influence is also evident in the royal palaces and castles in the surroundings.  Old palaces and churches, Art Nouveau buildings, the stadiums for the 1972 Summer Olympics and the modern urban architecture form the face of present-day Munich.

The architecture of the 1930s reminds us of the dark days in German history when Munich was called the “Capital of National Socialism”.

The city abounds in more than 100 splendid museums displaying works from antiquity to contemporary art.  The Museum of Science and Technology (“Deutsches Museum”) houses Germany’s most popular collection of its type. 

Theatre and music lovers enjoy performances in the Bavarian State Opera, in the numerous concert halls (classical music, Bavarian folklore, jazz), in a wide range of theatres and in open air concerts.

Sports & Recreation

Lakes and rivers for water sports, woods and mountains for hiking and skiing are within easy reach of the city.  The Summer Olympic Games of 1972 and the Soccer World Championships of 2006 are highlights of Munich’s lively sports heritage.

Your stay in  Munich will be an outstanding experience with the manifold programme of guided tours offered in the city, at the lakes in the surroundings and in the mountains south of town.
