Munich: Olympiaturm
Munich occupies a broad stretch of the Bavarian Plateau in southern Germany. The River Isar crosses the city, while Olympiapark lies north of the historic centre as one of Munich’s major public landscapes and sporting precincts. Created for the 1972 Summer Olympics, the park is defined by its sweeping acrylic-glass roof, designed by Günther Behnisch and Frei Otto, which unites the Olympic Stadium, Olympic Hall and swimming complex. The 291-metre Olympiaturm stands beside the complex. Lawns, paths, playing courts and the Olympic Lake make this a place for sport, concerts and everyday urban recreation.

Munich straddles the River Isar in Bavaria, and this setting has linked the city to the Alpine foothills south of it. Marienplatz forms the historic centre, where the neo-Gothic New Town Hall and its Glockenspiel are enduring symbols of civic Munich. Nearby, the Frauenkirche’s twin domed towers shape one of the city’s most recognisable silhouettes. Munich is also inseparable from Oktoberfest, the annual festival held on the Theresienwiese since 1810, while the English Garden follows the Isar north of the centre.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
