about Munich
Munich or Munchen in German, which means "the monks' home", was initially a site of a Benedictine monastery. The city has gone a long way ahead since then. A vibrant metropolis at present, Munich's major attraction is of course Oktoberfest. The 16-days event celebrates the city's famous brewing industry. Munich is also home of BMW, the famous German auto-manufacturer. The city lies in Bavaria and is its administrative and cultural centre. That is of course for reason. Munich has world famous attractions. Check the Frauenkirche, Peterskirche, Nymphenburg Castle, Munich Botanical Gardens and the Old Pinakothek.
