Munich is Marvellous – Made for MICE in all seasons!

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

A city of 5 Seasons and 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

Did you know that locals claim Munich has 5 seasons – Starkbierzei is the fifth. A two week season for the strong beer festival.

0-60 in 2.5 seconds is not an experience you will try during Starkbierzei. Why – because you will be driving Tesla’s most powerful car while enjoying Bavaria’s Alps, rivers and more.

But, why escape this city.

Art, culture, nightlife abound and there is fine food from Michelin starred or listed restaurants or equally tasty Bavarian classics such as their famous white sausages. And to wash your food down – beer from one of Munich’s six international breweries as well as notable Bavarian dry whites and excellent reds.

Munich offers Michelin stars by the forkful – 11 well located restaurants have at least one coveted Star. And it not just your plate that will look great – the restaurants have style.
