City of Munich

State capital Munich

Village of millions, Isar-Athens, cosmopolitan city with a heart, Bavarian Silicon Valley: hardly any other metropolis has as many nicknames as Munich. This is no coincidence - but an attempt to encapsulate the diverse characteristics of this city in a single term. For example, the cheerful way of life that takes center stage between urban skyscrapers and glamorous cultural buildings from the classical and baroque periods. Whether in a beer garden or shopping, at the opera or at a football match - in Munich you can enjoy life!

Marienplatz with town hall and carillon

Since the city was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion, Marienplatz has been the center of Munich. Today, you can enjoy a coffee in the shade of the New and Old Town Halls and watch the hustle and bustle. One of the most important attractions on Marienplatz is the carillon in the town hall tower, which attracts numerous onlookers from all over the world every day at 11am, 12pm and, in summer, also at 5pm.

Church of Our Lady

Visible from afar, the twin towers of the Frauenkirche tower into the sky and dominate the Munich skyline like no other building. It is very important to many locals that this remains the case for a long time to come: in 2004, they decided in a referendum that no new building in Munich should be taller than the Frauenkirche at 98.57 meters.
