In the city of Munich, capital of Bavaria Land (state), southern Germany

 Tall tankards and high-tech cars, edgy art and Lederhosen -- Munich is where traditional and modern sit side by side like few places on earth.

=======================================================================
(in southern Germany) The city of Munich, capital of Bavaria Land (state), is Bavaria’s largest city and the third largest city in Germany; it lies about 30 miles (50 km) north of the edge of the Alps and along the Isar River, which flows through the middle of the city. Munich is undoubtedly the most beautiful and lively city in the country. The city is best known for its appealing architecture, great breweries, and fascinating Museums. Large parks, delicious German food, and jbeer halls add charm to this gorgeous place. Home to the largest science and technology museum globally, the city is filled with tourist attractions. Popular destinations include legendary beer hall Hofbräuhaus München, Nymphenburg Palace, and the iconic English Garden.

+ Of course, beer lovers know Munich as the epicenter of Oktoberfest, a celebration of beer and Bavarian culture. Hofbrauhaus, Munich's most iconic beer hall, has been serving up brews since 1589, and the city's Bavarian tavern scene is unrivaled. But if you are looking to go deeper on Munich, there is so much to see, do, and eat. Then there's the sights: Walk (or ice skate) through Olympiapark, or visit Munich's English Garden, one of the world's largest urban parks. Stroll the Marienplatz promenade and take in a view of the Rathaus-Glockenspiel, a giant clock that reenacts historical moments. (And in December, the city comes alive with twinkling lights and holiday markets.)

+ The Old Town is predominantly Baroque and Rococo. Italian models inspired the late 17th-century Theatinerkirche (Theatine Church), the early 18th-century Dreifaltigkeitskirche (Trinity Church), and an 18th-century Marianist church, the Bürgersaal. Michaelskirche at Berg am Laim, the Asamkirche (also called St. John of Nepomuk Church), and the Cuvilliés Theater at the Residence were completed between 1746 and 1777. The last-named structure, a magnificent Rococo theater built for the Wittelsbach court, was destroyed in World War II, but much of its interior decoration was saved, and the theater was reconstructed. Among the summer castles built outside the town walls are Schleissheim and Nymphenburg. The latter’s hunting lodge, the Amalienburg Pavilion, is a Rococo masterpiece. Several palaces built by the Bavarian landed gentry and court nobility at the same time also survive. The New Town Hall (built 1867–74) was enlarged at the beginning of the 20th century. The University of Munich was moved from Landshut to Munich in 1826 by Louis I. Among the city’s other important educational establishments are the Technical University of Munich (founded 1868) and academies of art, music, philosophy, military studies, and film and television. Munich is also home to the headquarters of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science, Germany’s official scientific research organization.
