What is known in Munich?

Munich can be described as a city with a big heart, as suave as it is easygoing, buzzing and yet tranquil. Munich is Germany's lifestyle capital. And on top of all this, it boasts one of the country's most beautiful squares: Marienplatz, at the heart of the city and home to the Old and New Town Halls. The locals know that anyway, and the British magazine Monocle has confirmed their flair for these things, naming Munich the "most liveable city in the world". The many green, cosy beer gardens, clean subways and the proximity to the Alps make for an irresistible combination.

Munich has a lot of beauty in it! One day, on the way to the Bavarian History Museum, I unknowingly walked past the English Gardens (very beautiful). One of the best things about wandering around is that you never know what you'll see.
