Munich, Bavaria & the Black Forest

Hilltop castles and green energy, beer halls and luxury cars, Alps and edgy art – southern Germany blends thigh-slapping tradition with clear-headed modernity like nowhere else on earth.
City square crowded with people beside a Gothic town hall tower, with a red-roofed church with twin domed towers beyond.
