About Munich

Before you head south from Heidelberg to Munich, learn more about the home of Oktoberfest.

Munich: Bavaria’s capital

The Free State of Bavaria is located in southern Germany and has a distinct regional identity apart from other German-speaking regions of Europe. Bavarian is a dialect of the German language and can be difficult to understand even among fellow Germans. Bavarians also tend to be Catholic, unlike the rest of Germany which tends to lean Protestant (specifically, Lutheran).

Munich is the capital of Bavaria. It was founded by monks in the 700s and is reflected in its name, as Munchen means “to the monks.” Although Bavaria has fallen in and out of empires over the centuries, it retains its unique identity. Oktoberfest is one such cultural cornerstone that has been exported over long distances as Bavarians immigrated to other countries.
