Munich, positioned in the heart of Bavaria, is a magnificent blend of old-world German allure and contemporary urban energy. With its four distinctive seasons, from warm summers fantastic for visiting beer gardens, to cold, sometimes snowy winters that morph the city into a festive wonderland, Munich never disappoints. The breath-taking mountain views and access to outdoor pursuits offered by its close proximity to the Alps is an added bonus.

The lifestyle in Munich is encapsulated by the term "Gemütlichkeit," an extraordinary mix of comfort, wellbeing, and social togetherness. The city, despite being Germany's third largest and a significant tech centre, manages to keep a remarkably relaxed ambiance where age-old traditions and innovation harmoniously coexist.

Munich's genius lies in its seamless juxtaposition of history and modernistic approach. The city centre is adorned by stunning buildings including the Neo-Gothic New Town Hall at Marienplatz. Conversely, the English Garden, one of the world's largest city parks, provides a tranquil retreat with surfers riding the artificial wave on the Eisbach stream.

The food scene here resolves around robust Bavarian classics including Weisswurst (white sausage), pretzels, and beer. Oktoberfest, the city's renowned beer festival, attracts millions of tourists each year. However, beer gardens such as the Augustiner-Keller offer genuine experiences throughout the year sans the tourist throng.

Be sure to check out the Deutsches Museum, the world's largest science and technology museum, and the BMW World and Museum which is the epitome of German engineering. Art enthusiasts can lose themselves in the three Pinakothek museums, showcasing a wide array of art, from classical to contemporary.
