Munich could be perfect post-ferry destination

23.02.2010
After holidaymakers have taken a cross channel ferry they could continue their journey to a German city which has been reborn, according to one newspaper.

The Independent stated that Munich is no longer a cold, industrial city, but now has a hipster cool which is attracting both German and foreign visitors looking for a city break.

"Oktoberfest draws thousands to the Bavarian capital every autumn, but when the Oompah bands lay down their tubas and the beer-swigging hordes stagger home, there remains a city of history, culture, and an ever increasing hipster quotient," it stated.

The newspaper added that there is still a traditional Bavarian sense to the city and now it benefits from an improved Jewish quarter which includes a museum.

In other news, the Times reported on the fun that can be had in the German town of Bamberg on a weekend break and placed it in the top ten destinations to visit during 48 hours away from it all.
