----------
Munich (or München, in German), capital city of Bavaria and the third most populous city in Germany, holds a wealth of historical attractions and a thriving beer culture. Located on the Isar River north of the Bavarian Alps, it sports a quirky combination of sophistication and folk tradition, evident in the various nightly culture-hobnobbing events, upscale restaurants and hotels, and the Oktoberfest's awesome beer-guzzling and romps. Discover Munich and its wealth of Bavarian delights with this three-day trip.
