In the heart of Germany’s Bavarian south on the banks of the River Isar and well served by Munich airport just 17 miles outside the city, Munich is close to the Swiss, Austrian and Italian borders and is Germany’s third largest city. This is one of the most beautiful parts of Germany with lakes and forests aplenty and is one of the reasons why so many people choose Munich as a holiday destination.

There is also the BMW museum which documents the history of this famous car maker and is a must for all car fans. Even the building the museum is in is pretty special.
