About Munich
Bavaria's capital — beer gardens, Oktoberfest, BMW World, Neuschwanstein Castle day trips, Alpine gateway, and the best Turkish halal food outside Istanbul.
Munich is Germany's most liveable city — Bavarian tradition meets modern sophistication. The English Garden is Europe's largest urban park (with beer gardens and surfers on the Eisbach wave). Marienplatz's Glockenspiel performs daily. BMW World and Museum are pilgrimage sites for car lovers. Day trips to Neuschwanstein Castle (Disney inspiration) and the Alps. Viktualienmarkt is a gourmet market. Munich has a huge Turkish community — halal döner, Turkish restaurants, and mosques throughout the city.
