In october the famous 'Oktoberfesten' take place and remind once more of the abundant character of the city. The beer flows and several traditional beer gardens and courtyards are decorated and packed with traditionally dressed locals. Tourist will certainly find something of their liking in the typical Southern German ambience. Many areas of interest, such as churches and palaces in baroque and classical style will appeal to culture seeking tourists as well. Some of the interesting sights include:
- the 'Alte Pinakothek', a museum with many paintings from the Renaissance and baroque period. After it was built in 1836 it became the largest museum building in the world, exhibiting works of Frans Hals, Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, among others
- the new City Hall, at the square 'Marienplatz'
- the 'Theatinerkerk' church, built in the 17th and 18th century
Beside the many classical structures rises a present day pinnacle of architecture at the skyline of Munich: the BMW building. The headquarters of the 'Bayerische Motoren Werke', or Bavarian Motor Works, shows Munich's pride. It fulfils an important role in the economy of Southern Germany. BMW is not the only factor providing Munich with fame. Some of the other elements of Munich's international fame include:
