About Munich
City overview
Munich sits on the Isar in southern Bavaria, where Altstadt, Maxvorstadt, Schwabing, Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, Haidhausen, and Nymphenburg link royal squares, art museums, beer halls, science museums, parks, football, and Alpine rail days. The city is polished and orderly, but Oktoberfest tents, river surfing, student galleries, and beer gardens keep it from feeling like a museum piece.
Food & drink
Munich food is Bavarian and beer-hall specific: Weisswurst is a poached veal sausage eaten with sweet mustard and a pretzel, Schweinshaxe is crisp pork knuckle, Obatzda is a paprika-seasoned cheese spread, and Leberkaese is sliced warm from a loaf. Viktualienmarkt, Hofbräuhaus, Augustiner-Keller, Gaertnerplatz, Elisabethmarkt, and beer gardens in the English Garden and Hirschgarten add roast pork, spaetzle, radishes, Apfelstrudel, and Helles lager.
