Oktoberfest and beer-gardens, Lederhosen and Bavarian brass
music… no other city is a better example for German tradition
and culture than the Bavarian capital. When you come here you
will be sure: it is here where the German Gemütlichkeit was
invented. And it certainly is something special to enjoy Bavarian
Weißwurst and pretzels in the world-famous English Garden
– if the weather is nice you even see the Bavarian alps in
the distance. But not only here the third largest German city
with its 1.3 million inhabitants will impress with its warmheartedness
and joy of life. With 10 universities and more than
80.000 students it is no problem to be a young and lively city!
There are things in Munich that will never change. One of these
things is the beer. You will instantly notice that when you
come to the Bavarian capital and as soon as you visit one of the
famous breweries. At the Hofbräuhaus – certainly the world’s
most famous pub – you will learn what it means to enjoy a
beer in Munich, football fans from out of town try to build up
their confidence while drinking beer before their team has to
face the famous FC Bayern München football stars. And it’s exactly
here that you find another typical Bavarian tradition: Lederhosen!
You should treat yourself with a pair of these Bavarian
leather breeches: it is a purchase you will make only once
and your fellow students will have a big laugh.
