Munich Overview
Munich, Bavaria’s capital, is home to centuries-old buildings and
numerous museums. The city is known for its annual Oktoberfest
celebration and its beer halls, including the famed Hofbräuhaus, founded
in 1589. In the Altstadt (Old Town), central Marienplatz square
contains landmarks such as Neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus (town hall), with a
popular glockenspiel show that chimes and reenacts stories from the 16th
century.
