A lively mix of the rustic and the modern, confident Munich has its share of exclusive fashion shops, historic buildings and beer halls. With 1.3 million locals (Münchners), this third-largest German city will certainly keep travelers entertained. Come for the annual Oktoberfest or to see an art gallery (Pinakotheks). Shop in the Viktualienmarkt or spend an hour watching street entertainers on Marienplatz. Enjoy a breakfast of white sausages (weisswurst) and sauerkraut, follow up with the traditional pre-lunch beer (fruhschoppen) before doing some window-shopping on Maximilianstrasse. Germans often choose Munich as the city where they would most like to live.
