Munich
Cozy Metropolis with a Mountain Backdrop
Munich set against the the snow-dusted mountains, with a bright blue sky and cotton candy clouds, securing a spot in front of Caspar Plautz at the Viktualienmarkt – this can be a perfect moment in Germany's southernmost metropolis.
When rain and fog cling to the mountains and the silvery Isar steams its last warmth into the russet leaves of the Maximilians Auen, we are glad that in this somehow cozy big city, no place of longing seems more than twenty minutes away.
And still, the city doesn't feel cramped as it blends almost seamlessly into the Five Lakes Region and the nearby mountains.
If a dip in the Eisbach on a hot summer day isn't enough, you can quickly head to Ammersee for a swim.
Who has had enough of curling on the Nymphenburg Canal, can go skiing in the Alps in no time.
For those who, like us, love good food, Munich offers a wonderful array of large and small restaurants, sweet cafés, traditional bakeries, wonderful markets and delis, where it's best not to shop on an empty stomach.
Munich is beautiful and elegant, cultured and tradition-loving, yet friendly and open, relaxed and optimistic.
"Mia san mia," which means "We are who we are," is not just an empty phrase…

Here, we share a few personal tips and secrets on how to savor a wonderful city walk and how to make our Munich-Day truly perfect.
And because our hometown is particularly dear to our hearts, we recommend not just one, but two perfect days in Munich:
