To many tourists, Munich is known primarily as the beer capital of Germany. It is here that the famous Oktoberfest, the world's largest beer festival, has been taking place annually since 1810 at the end of September. Naturally, leaving Munich without experiencing the taste of this frothy beverage would be a regrettable omission. However, this small city on the banks of the Isar River has much more to offer than just its breweries!
The main attraction of Munich is the central square of Marienplatz, where you can find two city halls: the Old Town Hall and the New Town Hall. It is also worth visiting the historic cathedrals of Peterskirche and Frauenkirche and climbing up their viewing platforms to enjoy views of Munich and the Alps.
Munich is also the birthplace of BMW. If you are a fan of this brand, be sure to visit the BMW Museum, where you can see all models of cars and motorcycles produced throughout the brand's existence.
Among the unusual landmarks, it is worth mentioning the bronze statue of "Bavaria" located in the Theresienwiese meadow, honoring the famous natives of this region. It is hollow inside, and you can climb 66 steps to the observation deck and admire the surrounding beauty through the statue's eyes.
