{"id":4805,"count":1,"description":"City trip to Munich<\/strong>? Germany has several cities that are great for a city trip. One of these cities is Munich. In just an hour and a half by plane<\/strong>, you can reach this vibrant German city.\n\nThe great thing about Munich is that you can plan a city trip here all year round. In the warm months, you can enjoy the various beer gardens with cozy terraces, and in the colder months, you can visit castles, museums, and cafes.\n\nThere is always something to do. There are also plenty of sights to visit. Think of K\u00f6nigsplatz, Ludwigstra\u00dfe, and Englischer Garten. The Old Town is also perfect for a walking or cycling tour. But more on that later.\n\nIf you're looking for a European city trip destination<\/strong> and don't want to fly far, Munich is a great option.\n\nMunich is the Bavarian capital and the second most important city in Germany. The city has just under 1.5 million inhabitants, but there is one month when the number of people is 4.5 times the number of inhabitants. This is during Oktoberfest!\n

Oktoberfest<\/h2>\nWhen you think of Munich, you quickly think of Oktoberfest. And we understand that. This Bavarian capital is the city where Oktoberfest originated. As the name suggests, this festivity takes place in October. However, a bit misleading, it actually starts in the second week of September.\n\n\"citytripOktoberfest is the largest international festival in the world<\/strong>. The festival attracts about 7 million visitors<\/strong> annually. These are visitors from all over the world who travel to Munich to participate in the beer festivities. Originally, it was organized only in the month of October. Due to weather conditions, it was decided to hold most of Oktoberfest in September. September is just a bit warmer, and since many activities take place outside, this was a bit more pleasant.\n\n\"citytrip\n

Visiting museums in Munich<\/h2>\nMunich is an incredibly cultural city. There are many museums that are well worth a visit. The nice thing about Munich is that it is also a very child-friendly city. This is reflected in the restaurants and activities the city offers. A special museum to visit with children<\/strong> is the Altes and Neues Rathaus. The Altes Rathaus, the old town hall, was built in the 15th century.\n\nA few centuries later, in the 19th century, the Neues Rathaus was added. In the tower of the Neues Rathaus, a historical toy museum has been created. Cartoonist Ivan Steiger's work is central here. From his dollhouses to model trains and from his stuffed animals to dolls. Super fun for young and old.\n\nAnother nice museum, although actually three museums, are the three Pinakotheken. Each museum shows you a different time and a different art movement. The museums you can visit are:\n
