Flights to Munich
Munich, the capital of Germany’s Bavaria region, offers a seamless blend of history and modern culture. No visit is complete without a trip to the lavish Nymphenburg Palace to discover the city’s royal past, followed by river surfing in the middle of a park at Eisbachwelle. Add a stroll through the nearby rolling hills and a few steins of weizenbier – wheat beer – in the local beer halls, and you’ve got all the ingredients for the perfect Bavarian break.
