Munich, the Toy Town

Munich cathedral against blue cloudy sky. Germany.Munich, ‘…or should I say Muenchen’, is one of the obvious reasons of The Bavarian Pride. In fact, there are three locations in Bavaria known as ‘Munich’. But we are now focusing on the capital of Bavaria.
Survey conducted by the Society’s Centre for Sustainable Destinations for a National Geographic Traveller chose over one-hundred historical places all over the world. In this list Munich was ranked as the thirtieth.
The third largest city of Germany owes its name to the Monks living here in the 12th century. The monk depicted on the city’s coat of arms, therefore, carries the memory of the first inhabitants of the place.
