subject: Celebrate Romance And Culture In Munich [print this page] The capital and the largest city of the state of Bavaria have lots to offer for it. Crammed with historic buildings, art and architecture, this city features regularly on the list of top destinations. The Inner City, so called because it is in the heart of the city, is a large square with three gates on its sides dating back to medieval times. You will also find the oldest church in the Inner City, The Peterskirche. What connect this part of the city to the rest of it are four grand royal avenues, where you will find fine examples of Neo-gothic architecture. As soon as an airline reaches you to the destination, waste no time exploring the city. You can start with the numerous green parks the city contains, some of which date back centuries. Probably the most famous is the sprawling English Garden where you can surf, paddle boat or take a walk.
Perhaps you would like to chill out after a flight with discount plane tickets and try a different garden for a change. Nurse one of the famous local beers at a beer garden. You could try Dunkles, a Munich Dark Beer or the perennial favorites, Helles and Pils.

You can give into your sweet cravings and get yourself some apple strudel or donuts. Or attend the Opera Festival and Ballet Week.
If you need culture of a different kind, your discount plane tickets could get you to one of the oldest and largest museums, the German Museum. Here you will find exhibits from all areas of scientific studies. Or spend a day at the art galleries principal among them The Alte Pinakothek, with its collection of 14th to 18th century paintings and art.
