Host to the World’s Largest Beer Festival
Munich city breaks are rivalled only by Berlin as Germany's most popular city break destination, is a sophisticated and compact city with a staggering array of museums, architectural treasures and a vibrant night scene.
The Old Town is a pleasure to stroll around, with its grand avenues and spacious squares that recall the glory of Bavaria's monarchy. The city plays host to the world’s largest beer festival, Oktoberfest. Held on a large 31 hectare field known as Die The resienwiese, the festival, with the exception of the obvious emphasis on beer, is more like a huge American state fair, complete with fun rides, merry-go-rounds, carnival booths, food, entertainment and of course, those 14 famous beer halls sponsored by Bavarian brewers such as Paulaner, Löwenbräu and Spaten.
