The largest city in Bavaria is known for its beer halls and the October Fest (which is held in September every year). But even if you're not into drinking beer there are still things to see and do here. Marienplatz is surrounded by gorgeous architecture and lots of shopping opportunities. Make sure to make a visit to the Viktualienmarkt for some food and atmosphere.
