Munich is the capital of Bavaria in Southern Germany. It is located in the midst of a beautiful pre-alpine countryside and offers a spectacular variety of culinary, artistic, and cultural highlights - a perfect environment for the 15th ICC.
Munich combines the splendor of an old royal residence with the vitality of a modern center of industry and technology. Rich Bavarian tradition is combined with broad-minded openness toward the world, deep-rooted customs with tradition for dynamic innovation. Visitors are captivated by the flair of the city center, by a tour of the many spectacular museums and collections, castles, and churches, and by a simple stroll through its vast natural areas and parks.
Munich is an architectural synthesis of the arts, with impressive examples from various eras and styles - from the Gothic to the Renaissance to Art Nouveau or Art Deco. Modern accents are set by the glass and steel patterns of contemporary architecture, such as the Olympic Tent roof, the Allianz Arena, and the high rising corporate headquarters.
