Introduction
Munich is an economic boomtown and a hotspot for the media. Huge parks and the Isar River make it one of Germany's most natural feeling cities offering a great quality of living. Its mixture of world-class hotels, sprawling green space and cosy beer gardens give Munich an edge over many of its German siblings.

- Visit a beer-garden. It’s worth a trek to Waldwirtschaft Grosshesselohe for live jazz and the best spare ribs.
- Climb the 306 stairs of the Alter Peter, a Catholic church with a viewing platform. On a bright day, you will have view of more than 100km.
- Admire Munich’s river surfers. Located next to the Haus der Kunst (Prinzregentenstrasse), watch the Eisbach-Surfers test their skills.
- Rent a car. Amazing lakes and mountains are a 30-minute ride away.
