Munich, Germany is the capital city of the Bavaria region in Germany and is the third most populated city in Germany.

Oktoberfest is known worldwide and is considered to be at the top of many people's "must-do list"-at least once in their life. Each of the major breweries in Munich preside over their own large tent filled with traditional musicians leading the crowd in well-known drinking chants, along with incredibly strong barmaids hoisting ten or more huge 1-liter glass beer mugs. Munich's cultural scene is second to none in Germany, with the museums even considered by some to outrank Berlin in quality. Many travelers to Munich are absolutely stunned by the quality of its architecture, as the city was heavily rebuilt after WWII.

The square is home to cafés, bars and the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, one of Munich's prime theatre locations. Bordering southwest to Gärtnerplatzviertel is the Glockenbachviertel, which is the most vibrant part of Isarvorstadt, with bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Munich is the home to "Bavarian" food. Munich is specifically well-known for Weißwurst-a breakfast sausage that is traditionally eaten as a late breakfast along with a Weissbier or 'white beer'.
