This prominent public square, the largest in Munich, still stands as the center of social activity in the city, much as it has throughout history.

Very popular scenic park, more internaitonal than its name would suggest, it contains a Greek temple, Chinese pagoda and Japanese tea house.

Hundreds of thousands of people visit BMW's four-cilinder BMW tower and the bowl-shaped museum next to it each year. The museum showcases the technical development of cars and motorcycles and also has some exhibits about the history of the company. Many old cars and motorcycles are on display along a spiral ramp that curls along the inside of the bowl-shaped building.

A raucous celebration of Bavarian culture, Munich's Oktoberfest is one of the world's oldest, biggest and longest parties. Dating back to 1810, the event these days kicks off when the mayor taps the first keg at noon on the third Saturday of September. Some 6 million revellers spend the ensuing 16 days clinking and drinking 1-litre beer steins, eating sausages and doughy pretzels and swooshing through the air aboard carnival rides. Technically a folk festival rather than a beer festival, Oktoberfest features plenty of merrymakers, in traditional lederhosen and dirndl dresses, belting out old Bavarian songs in giant tents and beer gardens. Regardless of attire though, anyone is welcome to link arms and join the fun.

The city's largest and most famous outdoor marketplace.
