Munich is less than six hours away by car from the Mediterranean and only one hour from the Alps. This lively cosmopolitan city of over a million people somehow manages to retain a village atmosphere, yet it is brimming with operas, theaters, galleries, fashion shows and cultural festivals. Royal princes, fat-walleted industrialists, beer-swilling Bavarian bumpkins in Lederhosen, they all inhabit the streets of Munich in stereotypical glory. On the one hand, a deeply conservative city with ancient traditions, on the other, a dynamic location where the Weissbier flows freely and which boasts riverside nudist beaches, Munich is certainly a place of striking contrasts.

The Insight FlexiMap of Munich is a great travel addition. Here is an innovative laminated folding map that marries durability and convenience with accuracy, utility, and readability.
