The kingdom of Bavaria was created by Napoleon in 1806 and, although it came to an end in 1918, its history is still very much celebrated in Munich. Renowned beer and folk festival Oktoberfest starts in the third weekend of September, honouring the 1810 royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. Dirndls and lederhosen aside, this iconic festival is an elaborate medley of food, funfairs, fancy dress and, of course, beer. If you’re not in the city in September, the 500-year-old Hofbräuhaus Beer Hall is open year-round for a taste of Bavarian tavern culture.
A centre for the arts, Munich is home to the Bavarian State Opera Company and the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. Another cultural highlight is Alte Pinakothek, one of the oldest art galleries in the world, which is home to treasures from the Wittelsbach dynasty, an extensive collection of Rubens and Leonardo da Vinci’s Virgin and Child.
If you prefer high-tech design to highbrow art, visit the BMW Museum at Olympiapark.

Back on solid ground, peruse some of Munich’s architectural gems. Gothic Frauenkirche is Munich’s largest Catholic Church and you can climb to the top of its iconic twin towers for spectacular views of the Bavarian Alps.

A few blocks from here is Munich’s English Garden, a stunning green space that’s larger than New York’s Central Park.
