A great sight to see whilst in Munich is the Olympic Tower. The tower stands at the centre of the Olympic Park and offers visitors sweeping views of the city. The Olympic Park itself is quite a tourist attraction. It was the site of the 1972 Olympic Games; you can walk through the lovely park and visit the modern and mesmerizing stadium.
For those of you that like a lively night out, what not try some of the following nightclubs; “Atomic Café”, “Babylon”, “Nachtwerk”, “Soul city” and “Tilt”. You’re sure to dance and have fun long into the early hours of the morning!

There are several great places to eat in Munich, some of the best restaurants are; “Augustiner Keller”, “Chinesischer Turm”, “Hofbrauhaus” and the popular “Max-Emanuel-Brauerei”.
