Munich, the Bavarian capital and one of the most important cities in Germany with its 1.6 million inhabitants, lays on the banks of the Isar and Würm rivers. It is a major centre of arts, culture, advanced technologies and education. The old town was largely devastated during WWII, nowadays making the city a mix of historical buildings and modern architecture.
The Marienplatz with its majestic New Townhall dominates the old town. When strolling down four of the main avenues, Briennerstrasse, Ludwigstrasse, Maximilianstrasse and Prinzregentstrasse, built in the 19th century, you can admire many museums, galleries and other palaces of interest. For a quieter walk, head to the English garden, one of the world’s largest public urban park at the north-east end of the city. Other interesting places are the Olympiapark, the Westpark or the Hofgarten. If you are visiting Munich with older kids, visit the Deutsches Museum, one of the largest and oldest science museums in the world.
As the home of the Bayern Munich football team, BMW and of course the famous Oktoberfest we recommend visiting the city anytime other than September or October.
The public transport in Munich is convenient and very punctual. All S-Bahn (trams) have ramps and the U-Bahn (underground) has either lifts or ramps (http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/fileadmin/media/Dateien/plaene/pdf/Barrierefrei_stadt_17-3.pdf). Tickets are available at underground stations or in trams from machine or from the driver. The S-Bahn from the airport to the city will take roughly 40 minutes.
