Time Off

Munich, the capital of Bavaria, is an enigmatic mix of old-world charm and chic sophistication. Baroque churches, splendid palaces and beautiful parks, jostle with art galleries, theatres and modern shops. Munich is also an international business and manufacturing centre, famous for its automotive, electronic and computing companies.

Munich's renowned hospitality and friendliness is best demonstrated by its Oktoberfest, a sixteen day long beer festival which involves brass band concerts, funfairs and consuming lots of beer and sausages! To find a little more peace and tranquillity a drive out towards the Alps to visit Blutenburg, a romantic moated castle, or Konigessee, a ten mile emerald-green mountain lake with extensive panoramic views, is well worth the trip.
