As Germany’s third-largest city, Munich is best known for beer and sausages — particularly during the huge yearly party known as Oktoberfest — but it has a lot more to offer. Forbes Travel Guide editors suggest you explore the city, which also offers the largest science museum in the world, numerous art museums, historic squares and lovely parks where you can enjoy a cool beverage. Combine all that with easy day trips to castles and, of course, libations, since visiting a beer garden or hall is a must when in Munich. Put it all together and you have a vibrant southern German city with lots of history and some modern flair.
