Munich tip: in the July 2025 issue of "Condé Nast Traveler"
Munich - Isar, Beer Gardens, and Lifestyle
Max Scharnigg describes a summery declaration of love for the beautiful, large village on the Isar River in "Condé Nast Traveller"
Our summer article recommendation about what we feel is the most beautiful city in the world: Munich.
Munich. Editorial recommendation: a great article in "Condé Nast Traveller": "Inspiration. Why Munich is a really good city, especially in summer. In summer, there is no more beautiful city in all of Germany than the Bavarian metropolis. That is Munich Freedom!" (= "Inspiration.
Warum München gerade im Sommer eine richtig gute Stadt ist. Im Sommer
gibt es in ganz Deutschland keine schönere Stadt als die bayerische
Metropole. Das ist die Münchner Freiheit!" ) By Max Scharnigg, July 2, 2025. In the online edition of "Traveller," Max Scharnigg writes "Why Munich is a really good city, especially in summer." Every Munich resident will immediately agree with this article, and we therefore recommend reading the article linked above. It's about the lifestyle that truly defines "Munich Freedom." Below, we show photos from our blog archive.

It's about the feeling in the beer gardens, a cool "open-air beer" liter, and the giant pretzel.
He goes on to say: "So green, so bright, so laid-back - Munich is the most beautiful summer metropolis in Germany." The art and culture blog can only underline this! Here, author Max Scharnigg speaks from the heart of every resident of the Isar metropolis and every Munich vacationer.

We immediately hop on our yellow Pakka bikes and cycle to the Isar,
... the "mountain stream" of the large "village" of Munich. The bicycle, as Scharnigg writes, is "... the only true means of transportation in this small city of millions during the warmer months" with its "... incredibly high recreational value."
My husband and I can only confirm that...
