München

The capital of Bavaria, one of the major cities of Germany is partly so attractive because of its proximity to the Alps. Munich is not only a first-class cultural centre but the most important economic zone in Southern Germany. The great cultural richness of the city, its particular atmosphere - a mixture of joie de vivre, tolerance and tradition - and the beauty of the surrounding countryside make Munich one of the most popular major cities in Germany.
