Munich, Germany

Munich (German: München) is the capital of the region of Bavaria in southern Germany. With a population of over 1 million, Munich is the third largest city in Germany. The city's motto is Die Weltstadt mit Herz ("The world city with a heart"). Although most non-Germans associate Munich with the famous Oktoberfest, the Bavarian city is home to many interesting churches as well.
