This Month in Munich:

By Jill Henne

Sightseeing: Wander through Munich's Olympic Park and marvel at the spider's-web-style building constructions, which still look futuristic today. They were created for the Olympics when the city hosted the games in 1972.

Key areas: It's Spring Festival time! Taking a similar form to the world-famous Oktoberfest, this event on the Theresienwiese features a funfair and huge beer tents, where visitors can sample the local brew by the litre and sway along to the sounds of the Bavarian oompah bands. The festival runs from 19 April to 5 May.

Munich Trivia

December: One of the biggest attractions near Munich, Schloss Neuschwanstein, was the inspiration for the palace in Disney's Magic Kingdom, as well as the location for the filming of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
January: There are 1,200 fountains in Munich, the oldest of which is the “Fish Fountain” on Marienplatz. The fountain dates back to 1862 and was used by market traders to store the day's fresh fish.
November: It's unlucky to eat Munich's traditional white sausages after 12 noon. The reason? The sausages were traditionally made to order every morning, and were considered to be past their best by lunchtime. Even nowadays, many Munich restaurants refuse to serve the delicacy after 12.
