Nobody likes to harp on about the stereotypes attached to a city when describing it, but it's hard not to when talking about Munich. The Bavarian capital is birthplace of the beer hall where men and women decked in lederhosen line larger than life beers in front of thirsty tourists to the sound of traditional oompah bands. But there is a lot more to the city than that. Munich gets increasingly cosmopolitan every year and it has one of the best selections of museums in Germany. This is why it now rivals Berlin as the most popular city in Germany with travellers.

heyso116715 says: “ This place is not the biggest city in the world but well worth a look, plenty to see and the food and nightlife are pretty good too. And if you looking to do some shopping too then you wont be stuck to find a shop or a market stall with a bargain in it. Book you flights now!!

“ Munich is absolutely amazing--I was only there for one day, but I had a great time and am already planning to go back. Just a tip, if you want a GREAT tour of the city, tours leave from the Wombat Hostel every day at 11---go with Ozzy, without question the best tour I\'ve ever been on.
