Discover Munich: A City of Tradition and Modernity

Welcome to Munich, a city that perfectly blends tradition and modernity. Known by its motto, “München mag dich” which translates to “Munich likes you,” this vibrant city invites you to explore its rich history, cultural treasures, and dynamic atmosphere.

Explore the Heart of Munich

Begin your journey at the elegant Marienplatz, the central square of Munich, where you can marvel at the famous Glockenspiel of the New Town Hall. This mechanical masterpiece comes to life daily at 11 AM and 12 PM, captivating audiences with its animated figures and chimes.

Immerse yourself in Bavarian culture by visiting historic markets and iconic beer halls like the Hofbräuhaus, where hospitality is at the forefront. Each alley tells a story, and every beer garden offers a unique experience.

Art and Innovation

Art enthusiasts will find treasures within the Pinakotheken, a collection of art museums housing works from the Old Masters to contemporary pieces. For those passionate about automobiles, a visit to the futuristic BMW World is a must, showcasing the brand’s history and innovations.

Relax in Nature

Take a break in the expansive Englischer Garten, larger than New York’s Central Park. Here, you can relax or watch daring surfers ride the waves of the Eisbach River.

Safety and Inclusivity

Munich is recognized as one of the safest and most inclusive cities for the LGBTQ+ community. While Germany leads in rights and social acceptance, Munich stands out with its welcoming atmosphere. Despite this, recent reports highlight an increase in hate crimes related to sexual orientation and gender identity across Germany, often linked to far-right groups. Thus, prudent awareness is advised, particularly in less central areas or late at night. The ARCO Membership Card provides access to safe spaces and ensures a welcoming community for all visitors.

Culinary Delights: The Four Kings of Main Courses

Munich offers a rich Bavarian culinary tradition that you must explore through its signature dishes, known as ‘The Four Kings of Main Courses’:

Schweinshaxe: A classic roast pork knuckle, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, often served with Knödel (dumplings) and Sauerkraut.
Weißwurst: A traditional veal and pork sausage, seasoned with parsley, lemon, and spices. Typically enjoyed with a Brezel and sweet mustard.
Leberkäse: A meatloaf made from finely ground meat, baked to perfection, often served as a sandwich or with potato salad.
Wiener Schnitzel: The renowned breaded and fried veal cutlet, cherished by locals and visitors alike.

Complement your meal with popular sides like Bratwurst, Kartoffelsalat (Bavarian potato salad), and Obatzda cheese spread. And, of course, savor the world-famous Munich beer, especially the Weißbier and classic lagers, in traditional beer halls like the Hofbräuhaus or a local Biergarten.

Sweet Endings

Finish your culinary journey with delightful desserts such as Kaiserschmarrn, a fluffy shredded pancake with raisins and powdered sugar, or the elegant Prinzregententorte, a layered chocolate sponge cake representing Bavaria’s historical districts.
