MUNICH HOSTS SOCCER’S WORLD CUP 2006 CHAMPIONSHIPS

With the exciting World Cup soccer matches hosted in 12 cities throughout Germany, the demand for cheap flights to Munich will be especially high in Summer 2006. But sports aren’t the only draw to this enchanting capital of Bavaria. Visit the lavish Nymphenburg Palace, summer residence of the Bavarian kings and birthplace of King Ludwig II. Explore the city by foot, bus or bicycle, find treasures at many antique or flea markets, and be sure to stop at the Town Hall Glockenspiel for a unique depiction of some of Munich’s historical events.

Numerous parks, beer gardens, indoor and outdoor cafes and traditional coffee houses are always ready to offer a typical Bavarian welcome, but the city really springs to life for one of its most notable events: Oktoberfest. While yodeling and lederhosen may delight tourists from around the globe, the biggest attraction is, of course, the beer!

CULTURAL SOPHISTICATION AND ALPINE CHARM

Munich’s numerous museums and art galleries are treasure troves for culture buffs, while shoppers will delight in not only haute cuisine but also cameras, toys, crystal, china and the ever-popular steins and Hummels. The city’s combination of architectural styles is a feast for the eyes, and local specialties as well as international cuisine satisfy the taste of even the fussiest gourmands.

Leave the city behind for a memorable drive through the nearby towering Alps, through postcard-pretty villages with enchanting traditions, colorful construction and hospitable people. One of the best known sites on the romantic “German Alpine Road” is the fairytale castle of Bavarian King Ludwig II. Neuschwanstein Castle was built between 1869 and 1886 to imitate a medieval German knight’s castle. Visitors to this enchanted region may also explore the Baroque monastery of St. Mang or enjoy boat trips and other adventures in the area’s eleven lakes.
