Arriving in Munich
Munich is not usually known as a tourist destination, but with so much to offer adventurous travellers it certainly should be. Fly to Munich with Qatar Airways and discover a traditional Bavarian city that has culture, great food, attractions and a warm welcome to offer visitors.
Munich’s classically Gothic architecture is juxtaposed with an ultra-modern commercial sector. But these two completely different styles actually work well together, creating a city that’s eclectic and individualistic. Fly to Munich with Qatar Airways and discover its unique personality for yourself.
Tourist attractions
Bavaria’s greatest asset has to be its stunning countryside, and the towering Alps create a magnificent backdrop to this stunning city. The main attraction in the city has to be the Residenzmuseum, home to Bavaria's Wittelsbach rulers from 1508 until 1914.
Tours start in the Grottenhof or Grotto Court with its spectacular Perseus Fountain, and take you through a guided tour of 90 rooms filled with some of Germany’s treasures.
Munich was home to Germany’s great architecture for centuries, and as such has become a city of palaces. The most popular is Schloss Nymphenburg, a wonderful Baroque palace set in acres of fabulously manicured gardens.
Once the home of the Bavarian kings, it is now open to the public and houses several museums including the Marstallmuseum, the Museum Mensch und Natur, the Erwin von Kreibig-Museum, and the Porzellanmuseum München.
