Munich was home to the 1972 Olympic Games and the Olympic Park that was built for this event is still in use today and has some type of activity taking place there on more than 200 days out of the year.

And today, Nymphenburg is open for visitors, but also continues to be a residence and chancery for the head of the house of Wittelsbach, currently Franz, Duke of Bavaria.

The museums and art galleries that the city boasts make up for the occasional lack of beauty within the streets of Munich. One of the largest and oldest science museums in the world is located on an Island in the Isar and it's very possible to go visit the Deutsches museum.
