Located in the heart of the city, close to the city center, Drückebergergasse is also known as the Slackers alley. It is a very popular narrow road, located just behind the Feldherrnhalle. A very fascinating piece of history is associated with this place. To avoid saying the 'Hail Hitler' greeting and to ignore the Nazi guards, people took this route by their way through the small Viscardigasse. This small historic passage is therefore named as the 'Drückeberger' which means, "someone who tries to avoid his duty".

Bavaria's favorite, Munich has an appetite for the good life, effectively led by beer halls in its vibrant Old Town, Bavarian cuisine restaurants, the spirit of Oktoberfest, and a mix of architecture, history and thought-provoking culture. In a city such as this, Munich makes one enjoy the charms of its inherent Bavarian heritage – be it the lederhosen-bearing festivals, or the ever famous Weissbier. But, Munich doesn't rest on its Bavarian attractions, extending its scope to serious musical passions that transcend schuhplattler. Included within this scope are illustrious landmarks that deem it one of Europe's major cultural centers, from the importance of the Nationalteater, to the more urbane Gasteig, home to the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. Munich's historic sprawl also explores its royal heritage that comprises well-preserved baroque residences like the Nymphenburg Palace and Oberschleißheim. At its periphery exists its constantly developing modernity, from hip nightclubs and bars to trendy cafes.
