Welcome to Munich
Tall tankards and high-tech cars, edgy art and Lederhosen – Munich is a city where traditional and modern sit side by side like few places on earth.
Bavaria's capital of Munich is an excellent base for a range of historical day trips to small cities like Nuremberg and Stuttgart, which are accessible by train.
Renting a car will get you to lesser-visited gems, especially the lakes in the region often surrounded by mountains.
A few popular lakes include Ammersee, less than an hour's drive from Munich, and Eibsee, located at the foot of the Zugspitze mountain.
