The metropolis on the Isar River combines old Bavarian tradition and broad-minded openness toward the world, deep-rooted traditions and dynamic innovation, sovereign composure and pulsating activity. Or, to quote the words of the American author Tom Wolfe: "This is one of the most wonderful and charming cities in the world".
Munich is alternately dubbed "Metropolis" and "Village of a Million". It is referred to as high-tech Mecca, beer city and capital of fun. Some call it "Athens on the Isar", others the northernmost city of Italy; both terms illustrate its rich architecture as well as the spirit and rhythm which reign in Munich. It is a city with many facets that have evolved from a history rich in traditions. [www.muenchen-tourist.de]
