Munich is a city in the Federal Republic of Germany and the capital of the State of Bavaria. It’s the third most populous city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, and is an important hub for road, rail and air transport. It’s also a famous European shopping center, as well as a major industrial and cultural center, with the two best and most famous German universities, the University of Munich and the Technical University of Munich, museums and many other higher artistic institutions. Apart from that, Munich is also a very popular tourist destination. So let’s look at 3 reasons that make it particularly attractive to tourists.
Nymphenburg Palace
The route until you arrive is beautiful, as the then kings wanted to give a Venetian look to the area around the palace and therefore, built canals. The gardens are wonderful until winter, with the fountains freezing and reflecting the perfectly harmonious building. Inside, it has beautiful ceilings, heavy decoration and a dazzling view from the large windows. Don’t miss to visit it!
Englischer Garten
It’s one of the largest urban gardens in the world, located in the center of Munich. The garden is ideal for a variety of activities, such as pedal boating on lake Kleinhesseloher See, a cool beer under the Chinesischer Turm wooden pagoda, or relaxing on the lawns around the Greek-style Monopteros temple. The most special attraction of all, is located on the Eisbach tributary. There, all year round, experienced surfers try to surf a one-meter artificial wave!
Allianz Arena
As the seat of Bayern Munich, the Allianz Arena is a pole of attraction for fans. This original stadium, with 75 thousand seats, was founded in 2005. However, it’s one of the most popular attractions in Munich, due to its exterior, which consists of 2,874 diamond-shaped inflatable panels that change color depending on the team that plays.
