>> MUNICH
Munich, the 850-years-old media, arts, and cultural metropolis is Germany's main centre for hightech and communication. Wirh close to 1.3 million inhabitants the "Bavarian village of a million" is the third largest German city and, above all, a cosmopolitan city with heart.
Munich has 11 universities with some 87,000 students, many theatres and cinemas, museums and galeries including the famous 'Neue Pinakothek', 'Alte Pinakothek', and 'Pinakothek der Moderne', 7 breweries, and of course the Oktoberfest: the world's biggest festival attended by nearly 6.5 million visitors every year.
The area around Munich is marvellous: the numerous big and small lakes with view to the Alps, the slopes at a distance of only 50 miles, the fairy tale castle Neuschwanstein (75 miles), and many German and European cultural cities close enough for weekend trips - you shouldn't miss it!
