München - Munich

Perhaps the only place in the world where Lederhosen and Gucci peacefully coexist, the city of Munich is both the sleek, modern capital of the state of Bavaria and a bastion of regional tradition. Birthplace of the beer garden, Munich's traditional merriment is in sharp contrast with the fragmented avant-garde attitude of Berlin, its long-time alter ego to the north. World-class museums, attractive parks and baroque architecture, a rambunctious arts scene and an urbane population conspire to create a city of astonishing vitality.
