Munich Offers Much More Than The Oktoberfest Beer Festival!

A great many people, when thinking of Munich, Germany, automatically think of the grand beer festival which is held in late September/early October each year and have little or no further knowledge of the city and what it can offer the discerning tourist or visitor at other times of the year. The reality is that there is always something truly original going on in Munich, the whole year round, and that your personal tastes may be better suited to visiting at a time other than when the festival is taking place. This is where I intend exploring some such events and activities.

The Biergartens (Beergardens) of Munich 

Places to eat, drink and be merry

Michaeligarten, Munich, GermanyMy father has lived in Munich for twenty-something years now and therefore, during my visits, I have come to know the city reasonably well by the standards of the average foreign visitor. I have a great many favourite places which I visit in Munich, some only appropriate at certain times of the year, some of them available to see all year round. The biergartens, however, have to rate at the very top of the pile.
