Munich (München) is the capital and largest city of the German state of Bavaria, on the banks of River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Ludwigstrasse, this great boulevard running from Odeonsplatz to the Siegestor is another realisation of King Ludwig I's dreams to make Munich a city of royal dimensions
