Munich is a city of art and culture. It has innumerable monuments, more than is share of great museums than any other city in Germany, plus architectural treasures, historical sites, world-class shops, restaurants, and hotels. The overall feeling that makes the city so special is the open-air markets, the parks, and the beer halls and the abundance of lederhosen and oompah bands. Tourists flock to Munich year-round, for the various festivals especially Fasching, and Oktoberfest.

 The best way to explore Munich is by walking because of the vast pedestrian zone. Bicycles are a convenient means of transport and are allowed on the S-bahn (except during peak hours). Car rental is available but parking in is nerve wracking and not cheap. Your best bet is to use public transport, which is excellent.
