– Concerts in Munich –

Allianz Arena Munich

Munich is approximately 7-8 hours drive from Budapest, and with highways all the way. Quite far, but if it is something important going on in Munich, it is still possible to reach it in one day. Munich is not the capital of Germany (Berlin is), but it is known to be the capital of Bavaria. It is the third largest city in Germany (it has 1,35 million inhabitants), after Berlin and Hamburg.

The city’s motto is “München mag Dich”. Before 2006, it was “Weltstadt mit Herz”. The cities name, München, is derived from the Old German word for Mönche, which means “Monks” in our beloved English language.

Several celebrities and famous people come from Munich, for example Franz Beckenbauer, Heinrich Himmler, Richard Strauss, Ernst Otto Fischer and Ludwig II.

The city has a rich history, but it is not a tourist magnet like Vienna, Prague and Budapest. But, it is still worth a visit. In the town you can for example enjoy:

- Several art galleries
- The German Musem
- Munich City Musem
- The Dachau Concentration Camp (16 kilometers from the city)
- The Nationatheater
- German sausages
- Oktoberfest (big party in October)
- Local breweries
