City of Destination
The one of the major cultural and economic hub of the Germany, The city of Munich having the population of nearly 1.5 million and also is the capital of Bavaria. Only Berlin outranks it in terms of museums and theatres. It's also one of Germany's most festive cities, and its location, at the foot of the Alps, is idyllic. Some of the sparkle comes from its vitality. With its buzzing factories, newspapers and television stations, and service and electronics industries, it's one of Europe's busiest and liveliest places. More than two-thirds of the German citizens living in Munich have come from other parts of the country, and tens of thousands are expatriates or immigrants from every conceivable foreign land. Virtually everyone has heard the city's many nicknames -- "Athens on the Isar," "the German Silicon Valley," and "Little Paris." But none seems to stick. More appropriate is a more ambivalent label -- "the secret capital of Germany." The city has the self –imposed image of fun-loving and festival-addicted city-typified by its Oktoberfest. This celebration, which began as a minor sideshow to a royal wedding in 1810, has become a symbol of the city itself. A somewhat reluctant contender for the role of international megalopolis, Munich has pursued commerce, industry, and the good life without fanfare. You get the idea that in spite of its economic muscle and a roaring GNP, Munich wants to see itself as a large agrarian village, peopled by jolly beer drinkers who cling to their folkloric roots despite the presence symbols of the high-tech age.
