Munich embraces just about every German cliché in the book. Bavarians in Lederhosen and shaving-brush hat wearers singing in rustic beer halls, an oompah image unchanged since the long reign of the Wittelsbachs through most of the last millennium. They left behind a palatial royal seat in Gothic, baroque and rococo styles. Away from cliché and history, today’s Bavarian capital is dynamic, filled with modern museums, world-class art collections, high-end shopping and adventurous restaurants.
