Munich is a city that enjoys contradicting itself. Full of old-world charm, it is also one of the most modern and prosperous cities in Germany, one that combines natural splendor with bustling modern efficiency. It is also a beautiful city whose blend of ancient and modern architecture coexists with a lively contemporary cultural scene. Munich's cultural and economic importance has created an environment that fosters innovation. The evidence can be found in the many new post-modern architectural landmarks profiled in this authoritative little guide.
