The Kreativquartier area embodies diversity and heterogeneity. The cityscape with old industrial buildings, colourful graffiti and wildly growing gardens, is where artists and designers run their studios and open workshops. From performances and exhibitions to concerts, the content, themes, and aesthetics rarely conform to traditional Munich culture.

You will find the Columbus Monument just outside the train station on the corner of Paseo de Filipinos, where it was inaugurated in 1905. The sculptor of this beautiful monument was made by Antonio Susillo, of Seville. The statue commemorates the death of Columbus, which took place in Valladolid.

The Déri Museum is one of Hungary’s foremost establishments of its kind. In addition to its exhibits of local cultural interest, it has become renowned for the huge collection of items, brought together by Frigyes Déri, which represents various aspects of universal human civilization. The museum’s main attractions are the awe-inspiring Christ-paintings of Mihály Munkácsy. The museum opened a new permanent exhibit in 2015, whereas in the Lajos Zoltai Hall temporary exhibits will be on display. The group of four statues by Ferenc Medgyessy, erected outside the main building, was awarded the Grand Prize at the 1937 Paris Exposition.

The impressive Baroque Nymphenburg palace, located in the western Munich, was built as a summer residence for the Bavarian Electors. The main building now houses a museum, while the surrounding area features expansive gardens, numerous smaller structures and pavilions, and an exotic greenhouse with a café. Notably, the castle is also famous for being the birthplace of King Ludwig II.
