Of course, you can't visit Germany and not pay homage to their historical contribution to the automobile industry. Located near Munich's Olympiapark, which hosted the Olympics in 1972, BMW Welt, is perfect for car enthusiasts and those interested in contemporary German history. Various exhibitions and events are hosted at the BMW Museum, such as the Night of the White Gloves where visitors are permitted to touch the vehicles, with the gloves on of course! There are both permanent and temporary exhibitions, from BMW Art Cars to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, so there's something exciting for everyone.
Munich is famous for Oktoberfest, an annual event that attracts over 6 million people from around the world. With a car rental in Munich, you can enjoy the various events that take place during the two weeks of Germany's largest folk festival. While Oktoberfest is undoubtedly one of Munich's biggest attractions, there is plenty to see and do throughout the year.
TODAY IN HISTORY! On this day in 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt declared the Grand Canyon a National Monument. “Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is,” he said on a visit to the Grand Canyon in 1903. “You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is keep it for your children, your children’s children, and all who come after you as the one great sight which every American should see.” The Grand Canyon would become a National Park in 1919.
