Weißbier, Weißwurst, Dirndl and Lederhosen: that's what most people probably think of when they think of Munich. But apart from the Oktoberfest, the Bavarian capital is so much more: large companies such as BMW, Airbus, Allianz or Google have settled here and attract well-educated employees from all over the world. But even apart from its enormous economic strength, Munich's attractiveness is undisputed: The many green spots, the proximity to the Alps and the hospitable culture make Munich a real place of longing with an exceptionally high quality of life.
