My recent trip to Munich was my second visit to the Bavarian region of Germany in less than six months. Munich is the capital city of this southern region that comprises about one quarter of the total area of the country. My impression of Munich as a ...

Pros: Wonderful architecture, lovely countryside, Christmas markets
Cons: If it had to be wet snow would have been better than rain

From Weimar, I took the train to Munich. This was a long train trip of about 6.5 hours that involved two trains. The first train took me from Weimar to a town whose name I can’t remember (I was only there for 10 minutes). The second train took me...

There is so much to write about this beautiful area that I could write a dozen...

Pros: Very interesting and historic place to visit
Cons: Hmmm well they speak German, It's hard to understand

Munich which is a nice city highly influenced by Bavarian ancestors. This city has a fairly big population but don't let this sway your dreams of visiting this place. In and around Munich there are hundreds of historic and neat places to visit. I...

Pros: Friendly People, Fabulous Food, Great Beer...
Cons: Too Many Tourists in the Summer...

‘In Munich Stands a Hofbräuhaus’…or so, roughly translated, runs one well-known staple of Munich’s beerhall sing-alongs. For many who’ve never visited this charming city (and perhaps, even for a few who have…) this, along with the ...

Pros: Beer, beer, beer
Cons: Watch out for tourist traps

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

Review Topic:  Events & Festivals

Two weeks ago, on a cool fall morning, my husband and I packed our things and jumped on the “S” train heading straight from Münich. The Oktoberfest (this is how it is spelled here)is the...

Pros: Beautiful and romantic city. Picturesque gardens, architecture, great food, vibrant cultural life and beer gardens.
Cons: Finding accommodation in the summer. Expensive compared to other German or Bavarian cities.

München, otherwise known as Munich to us English speakers, is a beautiful and romantic city, full of picturesque gardens, wonderful Baroque and Gothic architecture, delicious German sausages, tasty, yet cheap beer, vibrant cultural life and beer gardens ...

Pros: Almost everything. One of the few places I could imagine to live.
Cons: Americans who think Hofbräuhaus is everything, and leave after 2h :-(

I must admit that I sometimes like to step in on epinions.com and have some amusing 15 minutes when I read Americans write about the places where I grew up :-) Don't get mad, you'd have the same feelings if you went to the German equivalences of...

Pros: Oktoberfest and location
Cons: Crowds in a big city

To be fair, Oktoberfest takes place roughly during the last 2 weeks of September and the first week of October. To clear up the confusion created by many of the reviews, Oktoberfest is the beer festival which takes place for only a few weeks each year....

Pros: Outgoing people, Great beer, Clean

Cons: It's a bit too touristy; less to see here as in other, larger cities.

Munich, or rather Munchen, is a fascinating city. Although I have heard people that have lived here ...

Pros: Munich has more to offer than Beer, Mad King Ludwig and Hitler.
Cons: Many tourists come only to confirm their prejudices.

The other day I was in Munich to see an art exhibition. I didn’t have any plans for the afternoon and when I saw a leaflet ‘Munich Walk Tours in English’, (from May 17th to August 31st daily 10:45 am and 3:00 pm, from Sept. 1st to Oct. 31st...

Pros: yummy beer; Oktoberfest
Cons: crowds, like any major city

I spent a weekend in Munich when backpacking Eastern Europe a few summers ago. The majority of our time spent in Munich involved beer drinking, and this wasn't the only reason Munich is my favorite German city.

Location and...
