The largest and capital city of Bavaria, Munich, is a study in contrast. Munich also lays claim to the world-famous, centuries-old bacchanalia of Oktoberfest, a modern metropolis and epicenter of everything from education to finance. Situated at the base of the Bavarian Alps and alongside the River Isar, Munich’s intriguing intermix of natural beauty and man-made marvels makes it a standout among European destinations.

Some must-do things to add to your Munich bucket list? Tour its fairytale-worthy castles, attend one or more of its many festivals, discover Bavaria’s surrounding lakes and mountains, and explore various architecture and attitudes in its vibrant neighborhoods. Be prepared to see plenty of lederhosen as you go. They’re as much a part of everyday life in Munich as beer and pretzels.

And speaking of beer and pretzels, no mention of Munich is complete without acknowledging its cuisine. Munich is home to some seriously delicious (and hearty!) traditional German food. You’ll also find plenty to wash it down with at the city’s abundance of beer halls and beer gardens.

Munich’s motto is "München mag dich" ("Munich loves you"). We think you’ll find plenty to love back. But first, you have to get there. That’s where Business Class comes in.
