Discover Munich
The name Munich comes from an Old High German word for monk, and you will notice monks throughout your time in the city. Monks are featured on beer labels, in paintings and carved within architecture. However, this town is no longer a sleepy hovel where monks could meditate and pray quietly. It is a bustling city with modern infrastructure and stunning landmarks that draw thousands of visitors each year.
