MUNICH: an enchantingly sophisticated city with a baroque spirit and with inhabitants possessing a singular sense of humour. This is, after all, the capital of "Gemutlichkeit", the untranslatable tongue-twister that refers to a supremely cosy state of well-being. Travellers, of course, are drawn like a magnet to the city's fairy tale charm, superb museums and annual Oktoberfest. Munich has sometimes been referred to, by other German, as the "City with Heart".
