Munich, Bavarian state capital and "Music Metropolis," is nestled in one of the most beautiful parts of Germany. The city may be famous for beer and cars (namely the Oktoberfest beer festival and the BMW), but there are few European cities that rival Munich when it comes to music, art, museums, antiquities, palaces and gardens. Clean and efficient, with a wonderful transport network of trams and trains, Munich is an accessible and comfortable city to live in and around.
