Munich is one of Germany''s most beautiful cities, famous worldwide for its exquisite architecture and its enviable cultural scene. It is also proud host to the annual Oktoberfest. From ballet fans to big beer drinkers, Munich has something for everyone.

If you''re thinking of taking a city break or a summer holiday in Munich, here are a few things you might like to include in your travel schedule:

1. For a comfortable and stylish abode in which to base your time in Munich, try Anna Hotel and Restaurant. Its rooms are all individually designed with more than a little flair and everything about this sumptuous hotel oozes luxury and charm. Its restaurant is also sensational, serving up fresh German cuisine with a modern twist as well as hosting an excellent sushi bar.

2. Oktoberfest isn''t your only opportunity to overindulge on beer in Munich. In fact, any time of year at all will do. Simply head along to your nearest beer hall or, more pleasant in the summer, one of the many attractive beer gardens, and sup your fill.

3.With an already extensive collections of museums and galleries, the Museum.Brandhorst ...
... has done well to make a name for itself so quickly on the Munich art scene. Featuring a range of modern artworks by Udo and Annette Brandhorst, this is a real treat for modern art fans.

4. If the performing arts are more your thing, head along to the National Theatre and catch a performance by the Bavarian National Opera Company - highly acclaimed and thought to be one of the best in the world.

5. Elizabethmarkt is smaller and less gimmicky than its major Munich market place competitor, Viktualienmarkt. It has a charming off-beat vibe and is a great place to grab a quick breakfast before going on to explore Elizabethstrasse and its many delightful boutiques.

6. Need a break from the city? There are plenty of easy day trips available from Munich. Simply ask your hotel concierge for a few personal recommendations and advice on how to get there.
