Why Munich

For event planners the metropolis on the Isar river is the ideal city location.

Why? Because Munich is unique. A place where you can retreat into nature in the midst of urban hustle and bustle. A place where sun worshippers, flâneurs and people who have obviously just left a meeting peacefully share warm summer days on the banks of the Isar river. Some busy bees have their laptops propped on their knees. A few dare to take off their shoes, roll up their trousers and test the cool clear waters that flow directly from the Alps. This is the Munich spirit.

Munich is regularly listed as one of the best cities to live in and the most popular MICE destinations. It wins hands down with its location alone: nestling in the amazing lake and pre-alpine landscape of Upper Bavaria and easily reachable via the multiple award winning Munich International Airport.

With excellent universities and top-notch companies Munich is a leading economic hub and an outstanding location for science. Knowledge clusters in various fields (as medicine, life sciences, research and science, automotive, IT and communication, cultural and creative industries, insurance and finance, aviation and aerospace) encourage a creative exchange of ideas and provide an inspiring setting for conferences and events.

Germany’s third-largest city has 1.5 million inhabitants. A close-knit public transport network links the city and its surrounding area. The perfect infrastructure also includes a vast selection of hotels of all categories and a great variety of event locations. The spectrum ranges from the splendid Royal Residence to trendy locations in former industrial districts and leading-edge conference centres such as the ICM (Munich’s international congress centre).

Munich is simply captivating – with its historical city centre, magnificent architectural monuments, extensive green oases, a world-class cultural scene and outgoing and hospitable residents who welcome visitors to join in in the vibrant life of their city.
