Munich, stroll through the city of beer

Duke William IV of Bavaria enacted on April 23, 1526 the 'purity law', the basis of brewing until the European Union in 1986 abolished the opinion. Required that the producer of the beverage focus their development in three ingredients: water, hops and barley malt. Thus favored the aristocratic monopoly on trade was barley and marked, unintentionally, a distinctive tradition with other producing countries of the fermented product. Today in Munich, the beer continues to develop following this recipe, recognized as a quality assurance of chemical additives which are conspicuous by their absence, although it has to compete with an extensive range of brands. Among them, the most popular low fermentation - the hello-and by contrast, the Weibbier. All that runs through the streets of the capital of Bavaria is not alcohol, and sausage. Heinrich Heine city very accurately defined with this sentence: "Between Art and beer, Munich is like a village between hills?. Paradoxical result of this mix is ​​the coexistence of the best art galleries in Germany with the Oktoberfest, which has been paying homage to beer in Theresienwiese since 1810.

This multifaceted nature affects the type of visitor who comes to town, with the third most populous country, and has bonds available for the use of urban transport, cycle paths and a network of hostels Munich to compensate for the expenses incurred in the discovery of the Bavarian town.

The urban distribution Theodor Fisher made the late nineteenth century its essence remains despite the bombing during the Second World War and its inhabitants have managed to overcome the slaughter at the Olympic Games in 1972 and have been used by Hitler after the first major Guerra. In fact, a 2009 study considered the standard of living of the healthiest city across the country, has taken the remains of its past in cultural evolution. Visit the splendor forces the visitor to choose at least one representation of each element of the city. The tour through the Nymphenburg Palace show us the home of five generations of Bavarian monarchs on the outskirts of the city. The parks and gardens are also a significant part of urban building. The locals also make use of them and can become a pleasant place to rest. The most recommended is the English Garden which can be reached by bus number 54. Among the large number of religious buildings can highlight the Gothic Cathedral of Our Lady (Frauenkirche), St.-Johann-Nepomuk-Kirche, an example of the rococo period, Theatinerkirche, with the greatest influence of Germanic and South St.

Peter. The latter can be a wonderful experience if you have strong legs to climb the 306 steps and enjoy views of the city. Regardless of architecture, art, antique and classic fills the galleries of the town. If we must choose the best would be that the result would have known any of these four: Alte Pinakothek (13 €), Neue Pinakothek, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries-(7 €), the Pinakothek der Moderne-Graphic Arts-(1 € Sunday) and paint Lenbachhaus-collection-(5 €). These collections make Munich a city to rival any European city to capture the cultural attention of your visitors, but with the odd advantage. During the World Wars and the subsequent division of Germany, Munich was the presence of a number of multinationals that wanted to get away from the center of the conflict. The German film industry, for example, took the city as the site for most of its production. For this reason, the economic performance has been remarkable in the region, but has not been merely a capitalist center. The role he has played since the Napoleonic wars this town, away in the south but present in all relevant decisions have politically and culturally as the background in popularity after Berlin.

Yet it has been the stability of a way of life of its inhabitants that blends the time conscience who have been collated with a very pleasant way to escape through its cuisine. By: Sonia L. Baena
