Pictures


Munich is the largest city in the south of Germany and is about an hour and a half drive from the Alps. Most of the time the mountains are just a dark unclear shadow on the horizon, but with the right weather conditions, they become crystal clear. As with many cities, Munich started out as a small town enclosed by a wall and then expanded beyond it. The 'inner city' occupies such a small area that everything is close and easy to visit, and you can still see the original village gates. The river Isar flows through the beautiful green city. Munich is a stunning city to visit with much to do.
