Steeped in history, Munich has roots tracing back to the 12th century when it was established by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria. Through the centuries, it evolved into a city of grandeur and significance. The historical architecture, notably the stunning Gothic and Renaissance structures, serves as a testament to its rich past. As the capital of Germany's Bavarian region, the city offers not only visual splendour but also a culinary delight. Wander among the city's Baroque and Rococo architecture, verdant parks, museums, and historic venues such as Schloss Nymphenburg. While doing so, take a break at the bustling beer gardens to savour the unique Bavarian cuisine. Munich is set to host the opening match and five other Euro 2024 matches.
