Bavarian

Munich

Chic, cosmopolitan, carefree and kitsch, Bavaria's capital is not just BMWs and beer. One of Germany's biggest cities, it's got great museums, architectural treasures, designer shops, gourmet restaurants and style bars to go with the cave-like beer halls and farmers in lederhosen.

Munich: The best bars and nightlife

Munich is not only the capital of Bavaria, but also one of the most exciting cities in Germany. Whether you’re a party person looking for great food, or love to spend your evenings sampling the best mixology, Munich has something for everyone. Grab yourself a cocktail with a view at Café Glockenspiel or a quick beer in Munich in the Bar Tabacco. Get into the science of drinking and take a shot from a test tube in Das Labor.

Of course, no discussion about Munich would be complete without mentioning Oktoberfest: the world’s largest folk festival, known primarily for the beer. Oh, the beer, just so much beer. With more than six million visitors and over seven million litres of beer consumed every year, this is one event that cannot be missed. This 16 to 18-day festival, which takes place between mid or late September and the first weekend in October, is the perfect time to let your hair down, drink some incredible German beer and have the time of your life. All this and so much more is waiting in this beautiful Bavarian city.
