Munich

Munich, the vibrant capital of Bavaria, blends old-world charm with modern flair, offering a rich tapestry of history, culture, and contemporary life. Iconic sights like the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle nearby, the ornate Nymphenburg Palace, and the bustling Marienplatz with its glockenspiel draw visitors into the city’s storied past. Munich’s culture is deeply rooted in tradition, from lederhosen and beer gardens to world-class museums like the Alte Pinakothek and the Deutsches Museum. Yet, it’s also a city that embraces the now — especially in its thriving coffee scene. Sleek specialty cafés and cozy roasters dot the city, serving up expertly crafted espresso and pour-over brews, often paired with homemade pastries and minimalist design. Whether you’re exploring a centuries-old church or sipping a flat white in the Glockenbachviertel, Munich invites you to savor every detail.
