It was in the early years of the nineteenth century that Munich really began to grow, and many of the city's best known buildings date from this time. Despite being the modern metropolis that hosted the 1972 Olympic Games, Munich has retained a quiet charm. It is easy to forget you are in a big city as you stroll through the English Gardens, one of Europe's largest parks—complete with the Chinese Tower—and a beer garden of course.

直到上世紀初，慕尼黑才真正開始發展起來，許多最知名的慕城建筑都源自那個時期。盡管它曾以現代大都會之姿主辦了1972年的奧運會，慕尼黑仍保有其靜謐的魅力。當你在“英國花園”──歐陸最大的公園之一——中漫步，當然還有置身其中的中國高塔和一座啤酒園──你將渾然不覺還身處在大城市之中。
