The City Of Munich - A Getaway Guide

Out of Europe, and even the entire world, Germany features some of the most spectacular and fascinating cities ever

. Munich is a city in Germany considered to be the cultural capital. If the name of this city sounds really familiar, it's probably because you've heard of its world-famous Oktoberfest. The buildings of Munich are interesting things to see in themselves. Many of them were destroyed in the Second World War, but many of them were rebuilt, and the city looks much like it did a hundred years ago. If you are going to travel to Munich, you will need a passport, so fill out American passport application forms online.

If you go online to deal with your passport business, you will find that it's not only more convenient than the traditional passport process, but infinitely easier as well. Everything is done straight from your home computer, and it can all be completed in one sitting. What makes these online sites even more special is their expedited shipping options, which can get you a passport in as little as a day if you need it. They even offer things like U.S. passport renewal.

With a city motto like, "Munchen mag Dich," which translates into "Munich likes you," it's hard not to have a good time in Munich. What you decide to do really depends on what sort of subjects you are interested in. Due to its high cultural status, art is a popular indulgence. The Pinakothek Museums are great museums to visit, as they are affordable and all very different and interesting. There are three in total: Pinakothek der Moderne, which displays plenty of Dali and Picasso, Neue Pinakothek which displays 19th century art, and Alte Pinakothek which displays art from all the generations of Germany. City Museum of Munich mixes art and history with its displays covering Munich during the war, as well as displays of musical instruments and puppets. Deutsches Museum is an interactive science museum where you can look at all sorts of strange inventions and technology.

It's impossible to write an article about Munich and not mention the world famous Oktoberfest. This 16-day festival stars one of the country's national treasures: beer. More than 100 square acres is dedicated to the festival, and every one of these tents is serving plenty of beer in all different varieties. If you are a lover of beer, this is a festival you do not want to miss.

On the subject of German cuisine, you definitely want to make time to sample some characteristic German food, such as Weibwurste, the traditional white sausage, Apfelstrudel or apple strudel, and fresh baked pretzels. Of course, no meal is complete without a stein of authentic German-brewed beer.

Located right in the middle of Munich is Marienplatz, which is a big open city square. This is a good place to get your adventure in Munich started, as it embodies a lot of what Munich represents. Be sure to check out the column dedicated to the Virgin Mary, as the square is named after her.
