Munich is of Europe’s most visited cities, full of monuments and fabulous museums.  It is a place with memories of yesterday, both good and bad, but is very much a city living in its present. Today, with some 1.3 million inhabitants, 16% of whom are foreigners, Munich is the third-largest city in Germany.  It is also the Germans’ first choice as a place to live, according to various polls, and is a major economic centre for north-south European trade, high-tech microelectronics and other industries.  It also has a huge publishing center and a burgeoning number of film studios.
