ABOUT GERMANY Munich - Munich is the largest city in the south of Germany, about an hour and a half drive from the Alps and is close to Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Like many ancient cities, Munich started as a small town enclosed by a city wall, and over the years expanded out past the wall. The 'inner city' occupies this small area where many sites are close and easy to visit. You will get a sense of the ancient walls, the gates still remain. The city is a haven for all sorts of culture, with a staggering array of museums, a vibrant arts scene and the infamous revels of Oktoberfest. Sights to see in Munich: Frauenkirche, the Steeple of Town Hall, Residenz Palace, Viktualienmarkt, the Olympic Park, Nymphenburg Palace and Gardens, Deutsches Musuem, Alter Peter, Asamkirche, Allianz Arena and much more. *Subject to change Excel International Sports, LLC. www.eurosoccertours.net Tel – 410-489-2287 TESTIMONIALS "Our trip included 48 people and covered three countries.
