Located in the Bavaria region of Germany, Munich is a fantastic city to explore. With cultural traditions nestling alongside modern day glitz and glamour, it is an eclectic city which offers travellers many attractions to explore. And whilst you’ll find the city filled with charm, traditional sights and cuisines, the glimpse of flashy cars and designer boutiques will remind you that Munich remains as modern as city as many.

A great way to travel whilst your in Munich, especially if you want to explore outside of the city, is by using car rental deals. Whilst on some of your holiday you may want to explore on foot, being able to hop in the car and head off to an attraction which is slightly out of the way is ideal. In addition, with many car companies having airport offices, you’ll ensure that you don’t have to drag luggage on public transport and through streets as you make your way to and from hotels.

There are a huge range of beautiful attractions to visit whilst in Munich, including museums, cathedrals, war memorials and markets. With Oktoberfest one of Germany’s largest festivals, no trip to Munich is complete without experiencing some of the cities best food and beer. Built in 1589, the famous Hofbrauhaus brewery is a very popular sight and you’ll be able to see doodles and comments written into the long wooden tables which date to more than a century ago. In addition to a variety of pork roast and veal sausages you’ll be able to indulge in 1-litre steins of Beer to help wash down the fantastic cuisine. Meanwhile, the Victuals Market is also a great place to explore. A farmers market which operates daily and dates from the 19^th century, there are a wide range of flowers, pastries, sausages and more to buy.

Whilst Munich has a wide range of cuisine to enjoy, it also has some fantastic architecture. No trip is complete without visiting Marien Square, with its New Town Hall, and the famous Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady. The Cathedral holds up to 20,000 people when full, and you can climb the tower steps offering you breathtaking views across the city and surrounding Bavarian Alps.

Museums are also fantastic in Munich, and there are a number to visit including the Residence Palace of Munich, Deutsches Museum, and the Museums Ensembles. Having once housed the Bavarian monarchs, the Residence Palace has been converted into a museum with 130 rooms of tapestries, furniture and art. The Deutsches Museum meanwhile is home to one of the world’s largest science and technology collections, whilst the Museums Ensembles is a group of three museums, including the Alte Pinakothek, The Neue Pinakothek and The Pinakothek der Moderne, which showcase art and sculpture.

Outside of Munich is the concentration camp of Dachau; a haunting reminder of Nazi Germany. And with the Olympic Stadium of Munich and The English Garden, the cities enormous park, there is plenty of variety for everyone to enjoy no matter who you’re holidaying with.
