Why visit Munich

Munich packs the Frauenkirche, the Residenz and five huge beer gardens into a centre small enough to cross on foot. The English Garden runs 5 km from the city edge past a river surf spot at the Eisbach wave. Beer costs about 8-9 EUR a litre inside a hall, and a day return to the Alps by train takes barely an hour. Octoberfest runs 16 days into early October, around the Theresienwiese fairground.
